Maker CommunicationI am satisfied with communication with Because Fuzz. They are good with communication and do not leave a commissioner with unanswered questions. Project Completion TimeI am satisfied with the time it took to make my suit. I was aware of the queue and was totally ok waiting for however long was needed to get the suit. It was shipped shockingly fast after it was finished. Overall Project QualityI am overwhelmingly happy with how Ant's fullsuit came out. Both aesthetically and visually, every part of her comes together and allows me to feel like my sona seamlessly. Ventilation is great and allows me to wear the suit for long hours without needing to break up the sessions. Visually, this suit has exceeded my expectations and made me a lifelong commissioner to Because Fuzz. Ant's suit allows me to show a side of my personality in a way that I have trouble with showing out of suit. I can't thank my maker enough for giving that feeling to me. The suit is durable, easily washable, and something I will continue wearing for years. Every piece of the suit works well together cohesively, and I do not need to think to adjust pieces very often. Seams are hidden well, and I can put her on without another person's help. The Ant suit fits comfortably and is always ready to go when I am. It was more than worth the price paid. I highly recommend commissioning Because Fuzz. They make wonderful suits and are a joy to work with. Components Head Wear SatisfactionAnt's head fits perfectly! I have never had a problem with the head feeling too tight or loose fitting. She is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Ventilation is well done, Ant's head keeps me relatively cool enough where I do not have to take her off often at conventions or events. I never end up drenched so, cleaning is a simple process. I have to be careful around the eyes when washing my suit to make sure no water gets in there. Ant has Jynx's previous eye method, so I cant get them wet. I have never had a problem with visibility in bright or darker spaces. Ant has tiny weights in her ears so they stay down and hanging. I can swing them around freely! Visual SatisfactionI am wholeheartedly satisfied with how Ant looks on the outside. Pictures are a joy to take with friends and strangers. Jynx nailed the character design completely. I am very happy with how they managed to capture and simplify my hair design from the ref sheet into something that's both functional and cute for the suit. On top of that, Her hair and ears can be styled in many different ways I have found, so Ant never stays looking one way for too long. Jynx matched my design perfectly. There are no issues with matching concept art. The maker worked closely with me to match the concept art. They even made sure to include my secret eyebrows that nobody knows about. Expression is something I am very happy with as well. The more time spent wearing her, the more I've figured out how to take pictures with the Ant suit. Head tilted upwards she looks happy and smiling- perfect for pictures, tilted downwards she looks more serious/neutral. Even with a static head, I can get multiple expressions from my suit head. Many months later, I am still overjoyed every time I wear and see pictures of my suit. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionSometimes I forget I'm wearing my bodysuit at conventions and events. This means she fits me very well and I feel like I become my sona in a way when I wear her. I am very satisfied with how she fits me. I move around, hop, jump, run, dance, and everything in-between at conventions and this suit has allowed me to do what I want to do effortlessly. I wear my suit for 7+ hours on con days and can say that there have been no issues with durability or popped seams. Interior lining and material is very comfortable and cleaning is easy. The bodysuit can go in the washer and it's ready to go after drying. Ant has a front zipper that is very well hidden, so she is easy for me to suit up by myself. Suiting up is a pretty streamlined process since I can do it all myself. Airflow is very well done. I wear her for long periods of time and never have to take her off until the end of a day. When stopping for water breaks, I don't have to unzip at all, I just take the head off. Visual SatisfactionSimilar to the head, I get giddy seeing pictures or even simply looking down when wearing Ant. She is fluffy and purple and is exactly how I imagined her to look. She matches her character design perfectly. On the technical side, her fur is super even and extremely soft. Any zippers or seams are very well hidden and are not visible to others or pictures. Brushing is a simple process that I can do mostly myself. Others need to brush my back etc but I much is a one person job. The digigrade legs and padding are wonderful to wear and shockingly lightweight. I do not get tired out easily when walking and jumping. While suiting, the bun simply does not stay still, and this suit has been able to keep up wonderfully. The legs allow for exaggerated movement and dancing wonderfully. Hands Wear SatisfactionAnt's paws fit perfectly. They allow for movement of the fingers and have a pretty good grip for puffy paws. Once I got the hand of it, I can hold most things without dropping them. They have been very durable and have lasted me a couple of years already. There is one tear on the inside that I am getting addressed, but generally they held up wonderfully. The paws can be taken on and off very quickly for phone or wallet access. However, this is where my one issue with this is. Often after taking them off or wearing them for a while, the lining on the wrists becomes visible. The paws can be hard to tuck into my sleeves all the time. It's not a big issue, but it is something that slightly breaks immersion. Washing is an easy process. Ant's paws are hand-wash, but they are a small part so it does not take long to wash or dry. Visual SatisfactionVisually, I am very happy with how these paws look. They stay very faithful to my character design and are very very puffy in the most amazing way. The fur feels soft, no fur has fallen out over the years. They feel comfortable to wear and look good! Feet Wear SatisfactionTo be direct, those paws have been through hell and back. They've been through mud, rocks, rain, a bunch of places fursuit paws probably should not be going into. I am very happy to say that my feetpaws have stood the test of time. They still fit perfectly and are comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Movement is excellent for running, dancing, etc. They can be slid on and off pretty fast, too. Ankles do not show. Ant's paws are outdoor paws, so they can go wherever they need to and make it out alive. Any damage they've taken over the years is around the base and the bottom. I have been successful in cleaning any mud/dirt/whatever else. Because Fuzz's outdoor feetpaws can get dirt and be cleaned easily. Visual SatisfactionVisually, I am very happy with how these feetpaws look. They blend in seamlessly with my bodysuit and become one entity with it. All mud and dirt has come out cleanly, so it still blends in with the bodysuit perfectly. The paws match my design just as I imagined. I am particularly happy with how the fur lengths vary depending on location on the feetpaws. It gives a nice and pleasing visual interest and it works fantastically.
