Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy, you can obtain a quote from their website at any time. Nord was very clear about the measurements needed, the price and how the whole process was gonna work. Maker Communication10/10 communication. Was able to contact them for any questions, concerns or other issues. Also received many WIP pictures to know how the building was going. Project Completion TimeSuper fast compared to many makers out there. The given delay at the start was respected, and the actual build time went zooming fast. Overall Project QualityVery happy with the fursuit head. I have been looking at makers for almost 1 year before i was able to choose a maker. I do not have any regrets going with Nord. You can see the high quality of the finished product. Very comfy, good vision, amazing breathing space. Components Head Wear Satisfaction-Head is very light, I am never tired wearing it, weight could be compared to a small glass of water. -Interior is fully covered by a soft fabric, its very comfy. -Vision is good, but sometimes difficult to see from both eyes at once, but that is not uncommon from toony fursuits. -Ventilation is amazing, plenty of space to breathe from the maw, or put a little flat fan if i get too hot. -I have a pretty big nose, with accurate measure, my maker was able to adjust the inside to make everything fit perfectly. But its something important to mention when you commission your suit. Visual Satisfaction-Very happy with the look, i could not ask for better, they were really able to capture the expression and style i was looking for. -Symmetry is very good, very small and not noticeable little differences, but it only add to the realism. -I already had a bodysuit from another maker, This head was to be the 2.0 version of my character design. I was able to know what fur my previous maker used, and provide that to Nord. They were able to order the fur, and make the head fit at 100% with my bodysuit from the other maker. Special FeaturesThere is a NFC chip in the neck fur that can be scanned with a modern cellphone, and it will bring you to my twitter profile.

Final CommentsIf you are looking for a trustworthy maker, and you like the style / look of their work, Nord should be one of your top pick for your next fursuit. When investing such a big amount of money to bring your character to life, its always a stressful process. I am able to say that going with Nord is a very safe choice. Even before starting the process, they will be able to answer any questions and concerns you might have. I am happy to recommend them to our fluffy fandom. Are you the maker of this item?
