HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
This head is WILDLY COMFY to wear, the ventilation and vision are both so good. The proportion of the head itself is great-- it's small so it looks perfect as a partial, but the inside of the muzzle is totally carved out and the head is completely lined so it hardly touches your face. The eyes are giant and the blindspot is very small so vision is great. Very comfy and easy to wear!

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
I love how this head turned out! The design was ultra complex so I'm very impressed with how well the markings line up, especially in the intersection between the four colors on the muzzle, its perfect! The expression is very feisty and the cat shape accurate. This head was an artistic liberty commission and I think Mackoolzie did a great job designing this character. My only input was during the fur selection process, the rest was all him! My favorite little detail was the use of navy blue felt around the eyes and lips instead of the classic black-- really adds a nice pop of color.

OVERALL SATISFACTION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with the overall buying experience, including your interactions with the maker and the resulting final product.

---

How well does everything fit together and match up?
This is only a head, so there isn't really much to judge in the way of 'pieces matching up'. But in terms of markings, they all line up perfectly across the head.



How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Mac was very easy to reach! We communicated through telegram and the response time was a couple hours at most.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Mac was so fun to work with! He dedicates a lot of energy into making sure his clients are satisfied and happy with their costumes. He kept me updated every step of the way including ETA's and provided lots of work in progress pics!


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
We agreed to finish up our trade in August, and it happened! Satisfied B)


Are you happy with the product you received?
I love how this head turned out. Quality is great! The head is fully lined (with a custom lycra that he agreed to use!) and very comfortable. Mac has an eye for great fur and used a lot of cool unique finds on my suit. His quality is great!


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Mac makes really unique toony shapes that you won't find in any other maker-- I really recommend him if you're looking for something special that will stand out in a crowd. I especially recommend him if you're willing to relinquish control and commission him for an artistic liberty piece-- his character design skills are AWESOME and shapes and color are his strong suit. No matter what, he'll make you something really memorable!
