Partial Fursuit- Pink Gecko Productions
13 years ago
I just have to give huge thanks to Pink Gecko who did such a fantastic job on my suit for such an amazing price. Seriously, it was a steal for the quality of fur and workmanship.
I've already worn it out once just for kicks and once when stuck at the hospital- (got a lot of smiles from a lot of kids ^_^)
I'm just going to get a pair of suit sandals to protect EN's pretty pink feet paw pads from now on.
It's so cool all the little details that make EN look like he belongs in the TLK universe- like the black around the nose and the Disney style smile. The two little teeth showing in his smile just like a TLK screen shot.
My one little nitpick is I'd like to give him a bit puffier more Simba-ish parted mane at some point, but I imagine you can't do much to style fur! (Lion toupee? *LOL*)
Seriously - it's a great suit, it was a great experience, super awesome artist who took my vision and blended it with TLK and their own style and brought a very well known fan character to life. Every time I look at the head I smile!
Even the ears, which are mostly hidden, were made with care. That gives me warm fuzzies in my professionalism place.
Also I expected the head to be uncomfortable -hot and stuffy and it is a little bit but it's way, way more comfy than I could have imagined. With my limited vision due to illness I thought I would have a hard time getting around with it on but between the eyes and mouth even with vision mainly in one eye only I can see both down by my feet and ahead and not run into anything(any more than I normally do- that's where Schalke the trusty mobility assistance dog come in!) .
The hand paws are so fun and comfy to wear to. They might just be my favourite part.
I wrote a longer, detailed review on Fursuit Reviews with a 5/5 over all rating for Pink Gecko's fantastic work. http://fursuitreviews.livejournal.com/ <--- That's the community I'll link the actual review when it's past approval.
I need to get some photos as well since it just does not look as good in the shots on PG's page as it does in hand.
I just wish I had ordered sleeves! Thanks to my messed up thyroid I cannot wear a long sleeve shirt for more than like....ten minutes. The long sleeve shirt is hotter than the head!! If anyone knows anyone who is available (I'd love to get PG to do them but I'm not sure if they do sleeves :/) to do a set of plain black sleeves with white elbow tufts that would be AWESOME. (any of the local NS furs willing to give it a go? That way we could match the fur.)
But yeah, so Pink Gecko- absolutely check them out for a partial:

Super glad to hear once again your suit's there and all snazzy! Major hugs and chatter to you soon!
Aw, 2013? So no moving back home I guess? (did I misunderstand your last note?)
Ohh Australia, make sure you take a bazillion photos when you go!
I've always wanted to go fly fishing in New Zealand myself.
