Here's a review I did for http://fursuitmakerreviews.tumblr.com/
SCORE: 5 ☆☆☆☆☆
Fursuit maker:
Radioactimals
Reference given: slightly NSFW -> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11247326/ She's a cute stylized brown raccoon!
What exactly did you commission: A raccoon partial fursuit - head, paws, feet, and tail!
Commission Price: $410 $20 shipping. I got a couple of discounts for parts she already had, artistic freedom and because there were a lot of crafting elements she was unfamiliar with, since my head was a bit different from her usual style!
Date you contacted: I posted a WTB on FA forums on 07-26-2013 and she responded with a private message on the same day!
Date finished: She posted a completely finished photo on 10-23-2013, and the suit arrived to my home on 10-29-2013.
First time with a fursuit or experienced: She's done a good handful before, but none as girly and cutesy as mine~ And this is my first time owning a suit.
HEAD:
Fitting: It fits great! It's a resin base so it's nice and sturdy and snug. It has an elastic band in the back to secure it to my head. Also the band had a little red heart doodled on it either on purpose or by accident, but I thought that was adorable either way haha!
Appearance: It looks great! I pulled off one small glue string but that it's no problem at all. The inside is unlined but since it's resin there's only a bit of fabric and foam. (It doesn't irritate my face at all though I plan on getting a balaclava/ski mask or something to keep it from getting sweaty.) The fur shaving was very evenly done, and had all the right poof. It very easily fits the "chibi" look I wanted! She used a feline resin base and foamed it to be chib-raccoon shaped~ (Also she got my ear stripes perfectly. <3 I was somewhat anxious because I didn't see them in the preview pic, but they're perfect in person <3)
Ventilation: I am hot natured personally, so it is quite warm for me. I opted for large eyes, nose holes, and ear vents, so if I hold a fan to those it feels really nice! As long as I control my breathing I should be fine~
Symmetry: All in all it's great, the eye stripes are a tiny bit uneven but it's not a problem! It's kind of funny because my face irl is slightly uneven, and I added my beauty mark to my fursona so I feel like it's even more "me" with that tiny bit of uneven~ I love it.
Expression: Yes! A small smile and cute but slightly coy/shy eyes!
Hands, feet, and tail
Fitting: I was very worried about the feet because I have edema (foot swelling/water weight, it runs in my family) so I don't fit a lot of shoes. But she got a sneaker from Wal Mart that I know fits me, in a 10W so it's perfect! The hand paws are nice and snug with a full range of motion~ And the tail is a great length and curves well over my bum!
Appearance: The tail and paws are great! The nails on the hand paws have a slight sparkle to them, which I love. The paw pads are a cute pink~ And the feet paws are quite small like I wanted them!
OVERALL APPEARANCE:
Does it match the maker’s other works?
My suit was very different for her, as I wanted something VERY cute and girly. Her other suits have been more serious looking. She did very very well with the cute look!
Is it consistent in quality in other works?
I believe so! Even with all the new ways of doing things/experimentation she did, it turned out super nice and quality.
MAKER: Radioactimals http://www.furaffinity.net/user/radioactimals/
Was he/she/them professional?
Yes, I believe so! She was very accepting of payment plan too~
Was it made on time?
I had two possible deadlines. Sept 20th for super early delivery before my birthday, but it was not essential. My final deadline was Halloween, and the suit arrived Oct 29th. Perfect!
Was it easy to contact them and keep track of things during the process?
For the most part, yes. She did keep me updated with photos and was very willing to chat live on Skype messaging to finalize details. Though, there was a brief week or two of no contact - It turns out the email was being looked over by someone at one point, so my mail was slipping into spam unnoticed - and then her computer broke down for a bit, but soon as it was back up and running I got my updates!
ALTOGETHER:
How happy are you with it?
Extremely happy! I absolutely love everything about it. <3 Everything fits perfectly and looks superb. Quality is great and it's very comfortable. My family and friends love it too! 5 stars all across the board! ☆☆☆☆☆
Would you commission again or recommend to a friend?
Definetely! I plan on it~ !!
