FURSUIT

HEAD
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the fursuit.


How satisfied are you with the fit of the head?
Is it too tight or loose? Does anything poke you, stab you, make it uncomfortable to wear? Is it lined comfortably?
The fit of the head is really well. I've re-done my measurements 3 times just to be sure.
I have to take out my own lip ring for it to fit perfect but thats my mistake, never told her I had one


How is the ventilation?
Can you breathe well? Is the mask stuffy? Does the air circulate through your head?
Ventilation was something I had to get used to. Due to the cute tongue, the ventilation is allot different from my old head. But im not dying and can suit for about 5 hours with no real problems


How is the vision?
Can you see well in front of you? Is there a large blind spot? Do you have to turn your head to see? (Note: most suits do not have peripheral vision)
Vision is brilliant but I cannot look at my feet, so stairs are REALLY scary all of a sudden. It's due to the big muzzle, but hey! Im a panda! We fall of stairs!


How is the symmetry?
Are the eyes or ears lopsided? Are the markings symmetrical per character design?
Symmetry = love :) Haven't found any a-symmetrical bits

Is the shaving even?
Can you see the backing? Is it choppy? Is the transition to long fur what you were looking for?
I cannot see the backing, but the shaving in spots is a bit off, but that's fixed with a good brush up. It's not something im bothered about

How satisfied are you with the expression and overall appearance of the head?
I like the fact that he looks different from many angles. I can look tough, cute, happy and cool all at the same time!

VISUAL ASPECTS
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with visual aspects associated with the fursuit.


How satisfied are you with how closely the suit matches the concept art?
If there was no concept art, please state N/A
The head was allot bigger than I expected, but not that that is a bad thing. The visual art is more of a concept than the final THIS IS IT so i am happy


How satisfied are you with how well everything fits together and matches up?
Do you markings match up at the seams? Are the colors consistent?
The only thing is that the short fur is Ivory and the longer fur (neck and cheekfeathers) is white-white. This isnt really visable until a picture get's a heavy photoshop edit. So no real bother there


COMMUNICATION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with all the aspects of communication between you and the maker.


How satisfied are you with how easy it was to initially contact the maker for a quote?
In the beginning I was annoyed, as I was really excited and they didnt had any Trello/Scrum board to see the progress of their projects. It made me quite anxious as it's allot of money we're talking about


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take them to respond?
It differed from time to time. Sometimes it was super fast, other times I had to wait a few days *shrug* i blame timezones


How satisfied are you with the level of professionalism and friendliness of the maker?
Were they pleasant to work with?
They are super duper friendly but u can notice from their e-mails when they are stacked up in work, It scared me in the beginning but I let go of it


OVERALL
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with your overall experience with the maker and the fursuit itself.

Done early! or mostly right on time

9,5/10
