Features: Horns or Antlers, Hair / Wig, Hooves Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactFound them on Twitter, Dm'd them and easily got in contact the next day. They weren't even open for slots but offered to put me in queue before formally opening because they like my idea. They were opening up their queue via Twitter so it was easy to set up notifications to inquire about opening. The maker explained in great detail what was expected and I was kept in the loop every weekday. Maker CommunicationTakes 12-24 hours on a weekday, we started on twitter then switched to Telegram once a contract was involved. Maker was very pleasant to work with, very formal at the start when it came to contracts and payment but when the design process began it was more relaxed and friendly. When communicating they made sure to strictly keep it professional unless an invitation to speak about themselves was presented not letting personal life got in the mix of business which I can appreciate. Project Completion TimeMarch 2nd 2021 was the date I was put on a wait list. I did not pay a cent till January 3rd 2023 when I was Formally put on the formal queue and signed a contract. They explicitly told me they will need a DTD a month out from start which was June 29th 2023 and they planned to start at the end of July 2023. I assume they began around August 2nd 2023. (I took longer on the DTD than I would have liked) They finished her around the 28th of August 2023. They printed a label with photos/tracking and supposedly shipped on September 5th 2023 and I received her on September 8th 2023. I expected to wait so much longer on the suit being made but they hit it out of the park! I did not expect 2-3 weeks for a WHOLE full suit being made and shipped to me. Overall Project QualityOverall after a year of use, I can easily say this has been the best experience I've had wearing a fullsuit. Material is high quality because the maker cares. Its easy to wear even with padding being considered. and the expressions are killer! The fullsuit is worth way more than the price I listed and has exceeded my expectations for what a fullsuit can be. Everything lines up, it fits me remarkably well, very user friendly, and is consistent to what they put out now in terms of style. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head sits snug on my head, not too loose or tight which makes it comfortable. Super lightweight with great ventilation it circulates air super easy directly because of the lightweight base. Completely lined the head and due to being lightweight, it dries quick. All heads come with fans and a handy little switch to turn em on! First time putting it on had a learning curve but was easy after the first time. My horns don't come off, but the maker offers antlers and horns to be disassembled easily if you decide to go with that. They will normally do it by default if they are large. Due to how realistic the head shape is, I sacrificed a lot of my vision. I cannot see anyone standing directly in front of me, I have to compensate by looking left and right a lot to find people in front of me. I had expected this to be an issue so I wouldn't call it a great reason to dissuade anyone from getting a head from them. Visual SatisfactionEverything from first glance is even and symmetrical. If I were being nit picky, the horn tips look different but I believe it gives it more authenticity for realism which is what I want! Shaving is even, haven't really found any odd shaving spots like I usually do with other suits. The fur is high quality! The maker DOES NOT cheap out on fur and it SHOWS. (More on fur in the Body section) I'm honestly still trying to find my angles in suit that make the head super expressive, but I love the multitude of sassy expressions I can get with the suit and the follow-me eyes. In terms of following concept art, I had to direct a little bit away from the reference in this case but with the ideas I had given the maker, they hit it out of the park with how I wanted her to look! If I had a more concrete Idea on the ref, I'm very sure they would follow it to a T. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionThe suit fits to my body really well! I can move around in it pretty well considering the padding and all. Durability I'd have to say this is the most durable suit I have ever had, I have not had any seams pop or fixes needing to be done! The suit on the inside is not lined (I haven't seen a suit that's lined) there is also this super handy strap that goes over your body to help keep the suit higher on your person and the best thing hands down about this suit, it has armpit vents! It's the best thing I could ever have on a suit. There are also polyfil pockets that are made of a nice material like nylon stockings. Overall a heavy bodysuit with great airflow in the armpits. Visual SatisfactionIt's symmetrical and matches the character design perfectly. I don't think there was any shaving done on the body suit but the varying lengths are a nice touch to any suit. The yellow fur on the body is super soft and silky, and the white is a tougher more resilient off white which is what I requested since I fear sitting on super white fur, the maker even stopped me before I picked a bright white and suggested another color. I am forever grateful for that. This maker is specifically know for bou's and curvy suits, the shape I asked for was executed very well. It surpassed my expectations. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hooves needed time to wear in was a smidge tight on the fingers, but very good at not slipping off! VERY durable, hard to move my fingers, just needed some time to wear in. Hooves were not lined but honestly didn't need it, the backing was soft. The hoof themselves were made of some sort of pleather and the rest was just fur. Visual SatisfactionPerfectly symmetrical. Not shaved but even markings and super soft, silky, longer fur with some sort of pleather hooves. Happy with colors, matches concept art especially the two hooves and one dew claw hands. Tail Wear SatisfactionI am very satisfied with the tail, size and thickness is what I wanted. I can hardly notice it wearing the fursuit, it stays in place and doesn't move out of place. Very durable, I haven't had any issues with it falling off or straps not being secure at all. The way its padded keeps the shape pretty well! Visual SatisfactionSymmetrical, not shaved but length is correct, matches the design, and doesn't move much. Super soft and silky fur, elastic with clasps to attach to the suit and a belt if needed. Tail moves how I expected, no complaints here. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are super comfortable with soft shoes inside. Movement is pretty good especially since the ankle isn't restricted at all with how the maker does them. They stay on very well, and don't show any skin. Putting them on is very straight forward. Super durable so far, I haven't seen any issues with them nothing falling off or popped seams. Interior is lined with super squishy padding on the inside and a soft material over top of it. The inside doesn't touch my legs at all so it makes for really good ventilated feet. Visual SatisfactionSymmetrical, not shaved but length is correct, matches the design, and lastly included the dewclaws which is a detail people miss. Super soft and silky fur, fleece hooves, Eva foam feet bottoms, Soft shoes, and squishy upholstery foam lined on the inside with a layer of soft stretchy fabric. Matches concept art perfectly! Special FeaturesThe fursuit has a detachable chest so I am able to swap it out with another piece I'd like attached, its connected via zippers around the white on the chest down to the underbelly. Makes the process of getting in and out of suit really easy because I can reach it and its super quick attachment and detachment. Its very durable, zippers are easy to reach and don't get stuck, and depending on the attachment can be cumbersome but that's implied and the point with the pieces you switch in and out of.
