I have a small fan inside, so the ventilation is very good. Without a fan I starts with sweating very fast, because the head sits tight on me and the air circulate is not the best without a active fan. Vision is one of the bests, I can see a lot. Visual Satisfaction How is the symmetry? – I can not see something wrong about the symmetry. All looks correct for me. Is the shaving even? – Shaving looks good, I can not see any issues. How does the fur feel and look? – The black and white fur has a high quality. Its exactly this fur I wanted and paid for it. How satisfied are you with the expression and overall appearance of the head? – Quality of the head is in a good condition but I am not to 100% happy about the expression. Because of the black eyelid in the white marking,the expression looks a little bit tired for me. Does it match the concept art? – Sadly, there are some small issues. Don´t match perfectly the concept art I gave him. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction How satisfied are you with how the hands and feet fit? – I have to say that the hand and feepaws are one of the best from Firestormsix. Really comfortable to wear and great movement. How is the quality and durability? – I own this suit since 2 years and I never loose claws or pawpeds. My paws are Outdoorfeetpaws and there are shoes inside. Good quality and pretty tough. Visual Satisfaction How is the symmetry? – Everything is fine Is the shaving even? – All looks good for me How does the fur feel and look? – high quality fur was used How satisfied are you with the selection of colors and materials used? – Pawpeds of my handpaws was made by silicone. The claws are in good condition, no scratched and this after 2 years since I got this suit. Tails Wear Satisfaction How satisfied are you with how the tail(s) fit? – Fits really good. Not to long and the tail is really soft. How is the quality and durability? – Quality is good. The tail has no armature, just some padding inside. Visual Satisfaction The tail was made with high quality fur, and shaving and symmetry looks fine for me. Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? How satisfied are you with how closely the suit matches the concept art? I give him a 6 from a scale of 10, because I am not happy with the long ears, expression and some small issues of the markings. I paid for taxidermy teeth, but I got standart teeht. How well does everything fit together and match up? All fits good together. Overall Project Quality I am a little bit disappointed that the markings does not fit the concept art correctly. The ears are to long, they looks more like a fennic fox and not like a wolf and I have paid for taxidermy teeth, but I received just standart handmade teeth. I own another Fursuit from this fursuit maker and the other, older one is in much better quality as this suit. Markings and ears are much better, and he putted more time for creating this suit. And to this time I got the taxidermy teeth. Purchase Process Initial Contact It was ok to contact the maker about a quote. Maker Response Time It was easy to contact the maker over Furaffinity or over Twitter. You always get a fast response. Maker Professionalism Customer service was good, he asked me alot about markings, expression and which fur I wanted. He showed me a lot of photos of the fur and we had an good contact to this time and he showed me WIPS and a video as he created the fursuit for me. He is not perfect, because his mood can be changes very fast… and I have nothing to do with his private problems, I pay for a fursuit with quality and private problems are no excuse to make a fursuit with low quality. Project Completion Time I had to deal with some missunderstanding. We had an agreement at the end of November, that I will get the suit one year later and it will be handed to me personally. But the maker has forgot it and as I asked some weeks before the deadline ends, when he started, I did not get the friendliest answers from him. He had totally forget the agreement but at least I got the suit in time. But sadly this suit was made with a lot of stress. Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? OK This review has been marked with a neutral rating. This means the reviewer MIGHT recommend FirestormSix depending on circumstances that have been clarified in this review. Final Comments Everything is good when you are happy with his work. But sadly, if you have any issues, or something is missing, or uncleared and you ask about it, the sympathy from this maker disappears and his mood changes very fast… It looks like he can not work with critique and he should learn to work on it.
