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.
Very comfortable! I was expecting it to be too snug on my head but it got very well. It’s not too snug but it’s comfortable to wear for a long period of time. The ventilation is excellent, this is probably due to the moving jaw. As for bling spots, there is a minor one however I was expecting that there would be some sort of blind spot.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
I was satisfied with the look of it. The magnetic eyebrows that were included help make him very expressive. The shaving job on him was great, though there is a part on his muzzle that was shaved a bit on the deep side, but it’s hardly even noticeable. If I had to say one thing that kinda bugs me, is that the side view is a bit wonky since the side of the mouth looks a little weird, and I have found a bit of black thread still visible on one of the ears. The suit did match the concept art and that’s what matters to me
HANDS AND FEET
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the hands and feet of the costume.Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
The hands are VERY COMFORTABLE. I sent unlined paws to him so he could fix them since they were also too big and they fit perfectly now and are super soft.
While it isn’t mentioned I also had admsleaves made which. While they weren’t lined did not mater much to me since I wore a long sleeve under armor heat gear shirt with the sleeves.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
I like the look of he paws. I believe he had shaved the paws a little better as well since they look nicer then when I sent them. My one minor complaint was the color of the lining since it sticks out a lot when wearing the paws. But I’ve sorta gotten use to the lining sticking out and it doesn’t bother me as much as it use to.
As for the arm sleeves the markings were perfect and I have no complaints about hem at all.
TAILS
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the tail(s) of the costume.Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
The tail is very nice. It doesn’t rub up against my skin and it’s not very heavy, which is surprising since it uses a metal rod to position how the tail looks.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
The tail looks very nice! Though there was a hole I found near the tip of the tail. But overall it is very nice looking.
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 was your concept art realized?
My maker did not have to find more art, they went off the ref I sent and did it very well. It matches my character very well. The one thing that is sorta off is his muzzle marking as it looks more like just a stripe not the pattern shown on his ref. He didn’t address that with me but since it was minor I wasn’t really upset.
How well does everything fit together and match up?
Everything lines up how it is supposed to. The nose is a little crooked and so is the jaw. Everything fits perfectly! Nothing is too loose or too snug, it’s very comfortable and I was able to wear it for 3 and a half hours straight without feeling uncomfortable. As for if this is consistent with the makers style, I am not very sure since I provided a headbase as well as eyes and paws.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Very easy. He sent me his phone number and would send updates about twice a week so I could see the progress
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
He responded very quickly back, at the vet most it would take 12 hours.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Extremely satisfied. They are a very new maker so seeing how professional he was was very nice. While we are friends (even though we haven’t talked in months) he kept everything professional like he would with his other customers
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
It was finished rather fast and met the time I needed to be done by.
Are you happy with the product you received?
This met my expectations, I was very satisfied with the results and it was worth what I payed.
Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Overall if anyone is interested in a. Suit I recommend getting one. The price it cheap and the quality is great. I know I will wear this suit often!
