Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactI found and contacted them initially through Twitter and they got back to me at the same evening with an exact and super detailed quote of what costs what and what they would need from me. Maker CommunicationWe used Twitter DMs for the start of our communication but switched to Telegram when i had to see how the animations played on the LED panels, they always respond within the same days, sometimes within a few minutes! They always were very kind to me and treated me well! Project Completion TimeThe project was finished faster than anticipated! They gave alot of updates so i was always aware of the current standing of the project, there is also a public queue to see how long one would still have to roughly wait before they would start on your project! Shipping went perfectly fine, was tracked and they have discussed shipping options with me beforehand, we chose Czech post which would get accepted by DHL in my country and there were no issues with the package, it was very well and securely packaged. Overall Project QualityOverall im very happy with what i have recieved! It looks and feels great and works wonderful as a partial! I can easily suit for 10hours (with some smaller breaks) in it and its very easy to care for. Im also very happy with how the maker has taken all my wishes and requests for certain markings into consideration and how they worked together with me in making my expressions and animations work to make something that truly feels 'me' Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head fits me very well, nothing pokes or stabs me and nothing makes it uncomfortable to wear normally, if you intend to look down alot (for examaple if you wanna suit at a cardshow) the weight of the head will eventually make your neck sore tho. Furthermore its not a super tight fit so jumping around at dances does not feel great, but you can just hold the head slightly in place with one hand and its fine. The head is lined on the Inside which makes wearing alot more comfortable. Ventilation is great thanks to the built in fan, Its powerfull enough to keep you from heating up for a very long time aswell. The vision is very good, thanks to the visor you see alot more than you would with a normal fursuit head, the only downside is that you cannot suit outside during the winter due to the visor fogging up very quickly at low outside temperatures. Visual SatisfactionIm very happy how the head looks! The fur colors are great and it feels nice! (they used BigZ fur's). The LED Expressions are exactly to my specifications, i did work with the maker together in making my own expressions and animations come to life. The proportions fit very well and work perfectly for partialing! They also frequently discussed patterns with me before furring the head so he turned out exactly as i wanted. Upper Body Wear SatisfactionThe armsleeves fit very well and are comfortable to wear! They are connected via an elasticband on your back and arent too tight nor too loose. You can connect the paws to the armsleeves via 4 buttons on each side, altho you can perfectly wear them together without using the buttons. They are Lined on the inside and dont feel too hot to wear. They are machine washing safe! Visual SatisfactionThe armsleeves, altho very simple, follow my design and look very fluffy and fitting! Hands Wear SatisfactionThe paws are very comfortable to wear and very easy to get on and off, it is abit of a learning curve to use these big soft claws properly but once you figured out what to do to make them move as you desire you can do as much as you could do with other 'more common' paws. They dont slide more or less than any other paws i have worn, so some readjustment occasionally is needed but its not bothersome. They are lined just like the armsleeves and also mashine washing safe and feel very durable! Visual SatisfactionThe paws are very nice! Im very happy the claws of my character were able to be realized in this way. The claws and pawpads are made out of fleece and are very soft and nice to touch, the claws all face the correct direction. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is nice and comfortable to wear, i have discussed the length in detail with the maker and thus its not too long nor too short and fits my height perfectly. Its Durable and easy to wear via an extra belt. Visual SatisfactionThe tail looks very nice and follow my character reference very closely! The maker also followed my request for some rather small markings on it that are important to me. Its also very nice to touch and stuffed perfectly.
