Overall

Initial ContactI had first contacted them in November of 2023 to inquire about possibly getting a head done via Telegram. They told me slots would be around march 2024, before FE, so I had time to prepare ahead and saving an approximate amount of money (No exact quote was given in advance, but a general idea of the price to allow me to budget). In February 2024, a quote was made and in March 2024 I had obtained a slot. A contract was signed between us to confirm the transaction.


Maker CommunicationCommunication between us was great. Every inch of the work done would get WIP pictures to show me the progress and gave me time to give my opinion on things that would need adjustment. Contacts were made via Telegram as it was simpler to share pictures there. Garnet is incredibly pleasant to work with ! We were pretty much already friends by then, but they still were professional in communications. If there were delays, I would be warned very quickly and if I had concerns, they took the time to answer them all.

Project Completion TimeThe project was done very quickly. There were a few other projects done in rotation at the same time but none were ever neglected. I am satisfied with the time it took. The head was delivered directly to me and small tweaks were done as needed.


Overall Project QualityI am extremely happy with the final result ! It is a product of very high quality. You can see the years of experience in this project. I know this head will last long ! The head also goes very well with the bodysuit I have built myself.

The price was incredibly worth it. I couldn't recommend them enough.



Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionThe head, despite the size, is surprisingly light. I have worn it to a furmeet outside for a few hours and it didn't feel heavy to me. The neck area is tight, but only when you put on/remove the head. It keeps it very stable.

With the eyes being mostly mesh, the visibility inside is incredible. I also have visibility through the mouth which eliminates the blind spot right in front of my legs. Even with the LED lights on, I'm able to see where I'm going.

The airflow is great. The foamwork is built to be very stiff so the mouth stays open. The mouth area is wide, allowing for the air to circulate extremely well. The huge eyes also helps circulate the air through the head.


Visual SatisfactionIt looks simply incredible. The sculpt is very well made. There was an incredible attention to details from the maker which I appreciate. The shaving is super smooth as well ! I know my fursona has an unconventional look, yet everything looks cohesive and brings my character to life perfectly.


Special FeaturesI love the LED lights in the eyes. It gives an additional wow factor to this fursuit head. There is a small pouch inside to access the switch and battery easily.
