Found them through a mutual friend who gave me their info and website,. Maker CommunicationThistlecrux was extremely communicative from start to finish, adding plenty of updates and keeping me in the loop every step of the way. They were extremely friendly and genuinely excited to work on my commison, which made the whole experience rather fun! Project Completion TimeVery satisfied. They didnt over or underestimate their eta, and bring kept in the loop the whole time made the waiting process bearable. Through their telegram channel I got to see every step of the way. We were able to coordinate a delivery time soon after it was finished as well! They were local so we were fortunate to be able to have an in person delivery, but they were willing to ship it! Overall Project QualityAbsolutely! I highly reccomend thistlecrux to anyone who enjoys the way his suits look! This suit is going to last me a long time, and look amazing the whole time! I couldn't ask for a more amazing fursuit head. Very worth the price as well! I feel like I got what I paid for and more! Thistlecrux has been nothing but accommodating from the moment ive commissioned them and their love for making suits is extremely evident. Components Head Wear SatisfactionExtremely comfortable! Its insanely breathable, the pseudo foam like texture of the sculpt is indistinguishable from real foam. Make it breathable, very lightweight, and squishy, but still very durable! Ive put this head through the wringer and he still looks and feels brand new! Vision is exceptional as well, not perfect but I can certianly see better than most. Cleaning is simple as can be as well, green machine works ofc but in a pinch I was able to machine wash them! The removable eyes certainly helped a lot there. My only concerns are that the eyes fall out a littttle too easy, but as long as you adjust them periodically its never a problem. Fur is very soft, and easy to upkeep. A brush here and there and it's feeling like a blanket. The lining is comfortable as well! With the amount of dancing i do and raves I go too ive put a metric ton of sweat into it, and its always handled it perfectly! The zipper can be a little finicky at times, getting stuck in fur, but its never a big issue. The metal clasp at the back that holds the ends of the neck where the zipper ends can also be really hard to put on blind, but still doable. Visual SatisfactionEXTREMELY gorgeous suit! Truly brought Ed to life in a way I didnt beleive possible. Its truly as if its my sona in real life! The spots are adorable, the expression is cute but also hot which was exactly what I was going for, and I could get lost in those eyes forever. I have gotten many a compliment on this suit and I truly beleive every one of them is deserved! My only slight gripe is the hair, but if i were to go on about that id be nit picking.
