Maker CommunicationThe maker got back to me very quickly with frequent WIPs and updates. Communication began through Twitter and moved to Discord. Project Completion TimeThe project was completed way quicker than I anticipated, and due to this my maker granted me some additional time for my payment plan to be paid off before sending my suit to me. Overall Project QualityOverall, I am overjoyed with the fursuit I received. It is absolutely wonderful and represents my character absolutely perfectly. The build quality is incredible with the only issues arising common popped seams in high strain areas such as the legs which are an easy fix. The whiskers have snapped a few times but are made with 3D printed filament and can easily break under extreme temperatures. Everything flows together and looks great worn as a fullsuit or a partial. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is an incredible fit with great vision and ventilation. The moving jaw is not very sensitive but this is to be expected on a foam based head. There is a zipper on the back of the head that makes putting it on and taking it off extremely easy and comfortable. The head is lined with scuba fabric and incredibly easy to clean. Visual SatisfactionThe head is absolutely gorgeous visually, the markings are symmetrical and all as I had put on the reference sheet. All of the shaving is done perfectly with no choppy segments and extremely high quality furs. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionThe bodysuit is incredibly comfortable and well fitted, perfectly matching the DTD I provided. Initially, the neck hole of the bodysuit was too large due to my DTD slipping off of the hanger in my maker’s workshop without them noticing while they worked on the suit, however this was fixed free of charge ex. Postage when brought up. The bodysuit is a bit looser now but that is due to me losing weight since commissioning and nothing on the maker at all. There is no lining, but there are no visible construction marks on the backing of the fur inside. Wonderfully easy to wash. Visual SatisfactionAll of the markings, once again, are perfectly done to match my reference and symmetrical. The shaving is even all over the body, with longer segments of fur left where requested, such as the arms, back fur stripe, and lower legs. The fur is incredibly soft and high quality. A later addition to the suit was stylized top surgery scars after a journey of self discovery ending in me pursuing it for myself upon realizing I am transmasculine nonbinary, these were not present on the original reference sheet and were masterfully done when the body was sent for repairs. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hands are incredibly dexterous with finger escapes. They are made of fleece to contrast the fur to show that they are talons rather than paws. The finger escapes do not show my fingers unless I stretch my hands out extremely far. There is a small amount of lining around the padding of the puffy paws. Very easy to clean and no experience with popped seams as of the time of review. Visual SatisfactionThe paws are symmetrical and latch the art I provided. They zip onto the bodysuit to hide the transition between the fur and fleece which looks incredible. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail zips onto the bodysuit making it extremely easy to wear both partialling and fullsuiting. The belt loops are very well enforced with a fake gore effect on the base. Has a lot of movement without being loose. Visual SatisfactionThe tail perfectly matches my reference sheet once again, and has a lovely fake gore effect with cartoonish blue flesh and bone on the base, which hides the belt loop. The fur is all very long and looks great. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feetpaws are a bit loose on me around the ankles, and I no longer wear them out of personal preference. This has nothing to do with the build quality at all – around my actual feet they fit great, and are very comfortable. Visual SatisfactionThe feetpaws are very cute, I requested for the toes to be relatively long and for there to be 5 toes to look more like a raccoon. They are indoor feetpaws with entire sole pawpads as per my reference sheet. Special FeaturesThe eyes have LEDs installed which work perfectly and as of the time of review have had no issues at all. These do not carry any extra weight on the head and the battery pack is conveniently stored in a pocket inside the neck.
