Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactContacting the maker was extremely easy. I was already following him and his work on all socials, mainly his Telegram channel, so I knew in advance when he was gonna open for commissions. Once he did, I submitted my application through Google Forms and everything went very smoothly with the requirements. A few days later, I was contacted via e-mail and learned that I had been accepted for the next opening, so the communication continued from there through e-mail and Telegram DMs. Maker CommunicationThe communication was always extremely clear, transparent, friendly and professional at the same time. I could not have asked for anything better in that regard. Once it was my turn in the queue, the maker would constantly stay in touch about the state of the work and update me on every detail, which was extremely appreciated, especially because he would consult me before moving on with anything. It never felt like a bother to him and he would always try and follow my requests, with the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness. He even provides a perfectly detailed guide about how to wash, clean and keep every single part of your suit in the most optimal way! Project Completion TimeI was put in the maker's queue upon being accepted, which was in September 2024. After going through the queue as expected, he officially started working on my suit in June 2025. By the end of July of that same year, the suit was already completed and shipped to my house. Every time there was a small delay on anything related to the project, the maker would immediately inform me about it. Everything went perfectly in line with the plans, and I was never left in the dark about anything. The shipping part was flawless, also thanks to the fact that both me and the maker are from Italy so the package didn't have to go through any sort of customs. The maker used the normal tracked national shipping service, and the suit arrived to my house a couple of days after being (very carefully) shipped, with no issues whatsoever. Overall Project QualityOverall, I am very satisfied with the final product I received. The whole suit looks as accurate as it could be based on the maker's style, it's a product full of care and attention to detail, and its overall quality really shows how much the maker cares about the customer's comfort while wearing it. There has been no significant damage to the suit over the last six months of owning it, which says a lot about how durable and carefully made it is, since it has been used a lot and it has already travelled a lot. Every little imperfection is nothing more than that, and it never goes to undermine the general quality of the suit itself: even when it doesn't look or feel perfect, there's always a solution that you can also achieve thanks to the maker's EXTREMELY kind and reliable help. Every piece of the suit works great both on its own and as a part of the complete product. Whether you just wanna quickly put on your handpaws and tail and act silly for a bit, or you wanna take the time to put on the whole fullsuit and put up a great show, the final result will always leave you giggling and feeling happy about your purchase, which was worth every single cent. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head feels nice and easy to wear, once you understand how the moving jaw mechanism works. There's a very specific point in which your head is supposed to fit, and once it does, it feels perfectly natural. The adjustable strings inside the head can also be used to make sure your head fits even better and feels more comfortable. At the top of the inside part of the head, there are a couple of adhesive straps that can be used to attach a small pillow (which was included in the package); this makes sure that your head does not directly bump into the upper part of the head, and it makes it a lot more comfortable to wear. The straps did lose some of their adhesive power over time and now the pillow doesn't stay attached too well, but that's probably easily fixed by replacing the straps themselves. The ventilation is good, and even if the materials from the moving jaw make it feel heavier than the average foam head, they also make it a lot less "stuffy" and therefore less hot, which reduces sweating a lot. With the addition of a balaclava, it is much more than bearable. The vision is good, and even if I do have to turn your head a lot to see everything, it's good enough to be able to walk without causing accidents. Visual SatisfactionVisually speaking, the head looks awesome. The design was perfectly captured from the references and followed as accurately as possible. The neutral expression and the moving jaw allow for a lot more personal expression compared to what a happy-looking static head would do, and a lot can be added thanks to the beautifully-made magnetic eyes (made by the maker's partner) and eyelids. The markings are perfect, especially the green ones around his cheeks, and the general shape of the head perfectly imitates the one of a fox, which was also noted and appreciated during the making process. The fur and hair feels nice and easy to brush, despite the amount of fur that tends to come off during the process (which is to be expected and easily fixed by re-brushing it on). The 3D printed piercing on his ear was the only essential accessory I requested and it looks perfectly accurate, it completes the original character's design in the perfect way. The teeth and the magnetic tongue inside the mouth look great. There was a small problem upon arrival with one of the teeth being slightly detached from the base, but that was easily fixed with some hot glue following the maker's advice. There is a hidden squeaker inside the pickable nose that allows for cute and unexpected interactions. Upper Body Wear SatisfactionThe body feels just right to wear. At times it may feel just a little bit small, which may have been the result of an overly-tight duct dape dummy (which is entirely my fault and not the maker's), but this is only really a problem during the process of putting the suit on, which is when I have to be extra careful not to pull it too much. Once the suit is on, it feels nice and comfortable to move around in. A few seams between the legs did break after wearing the suit a few times but that was also easily fixed, and it was always the result of careless movements, not a problem with the quality of the suit itself. The suit feels obviously hot especially during warm seasons, but not in an unreasonably amount. The ventilation inside is still very good, also thanks to the little holes around the armpit area, and with the proper caution the risk of overheating is close to none. The padding "mechanism" inside the suit works great and it leaves enough space for comfortable movement. The paddings themselves fit perfectly in it and did not break or show any sign of being close to it so far. Visual SatisfactionThe body looks great, and all the colors from the original reference were found and followed perfectly to match the design. Even if the padding used to represent the digitigrade part of the body makes the whole character look "thicker" than he actually is on the references, this was expected and predetermined with the maker, as it fits the style of the suit overall and it doesn't take anything away from how good it all looks. The fur is evenly distributed and it feels nice and easy to brush, despite the amount of it that tends to come off during the process (just like with the head, this is to be expected and it is easily fixed by re-brushing it on). Hands Wear SatisfactionThe handpaws are close to perfect. Simple, easy to wear, a perfect fit for all five fingers, and they don't slip away while they're on. Plus, they blend in perfectly with the body suit when both are worn. Only a little bit of wrist skin is visible when I stretch too much, which is not a problem with the handpaws themselves but rather with the tight bodysuit (which is, again, related to the poorly made duct tape dummy on my part, not the maker's fault). They feel generally nice to wear without being too warm: with the addition of some gloves, my hands do not sweat at all. The soft nails do not show any sign of being close to breaking or coming off. Visual SatisfactionI love the way the paws look: they're very simple, but they do their job perfectly well. They're easy and nice to brush, and they look great even when partial-suiting. Both paws have a hidden squeaker inside the main pad that allows for cute and unexpected interactions. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail was always the most important part of the suit for me, and I gotta say, I am more than satisfied with the result. The tail is extremely easy to put on whether I'm partialing or full-suiting (in the case of latter, there are some perfectly-hidden holes on the backside of the fullsuit that allow any belt to pass through unnoticed), it's very durable and resistent, and even when it does lose some of its "shape" because of the internal padding moving around a lot, that's easily fixed by just shaking the padding back into its original place. Visual SatisfactionThe tail looks absolutely perfect from every point of view. The colors and the markings are perfect, the lenght is as good and accurate as it could be without being a floor-dragging tail (which I always wanted to avoid), the distribution of the fur is excellent and it feels super nice to brush, and it is so nice and easy to express myself through the simplest tail movements no matter if I'm partial- or fullsuiting. It's what I cared about the most in this whole commission, and I couldn't be happier with it. Sometimes, especially after brushing, it's possible to spot the zipper for the padding under the fur, but that's usually fixed by just brushing over it again and covering it as much as possible. It can be annoying, but it doesn't ruin the immersion at all. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are also pretty much perfect: they attach perfectly to the rest of the body thanks to the zippers, and they are more than comfortable to walk around on. They don't come off at all when I move and/or run, and no skin is shown between the bodysuit and the foot no matter how much I stretch. The toenails/claws show no sign of breaking/coming off. The inside part of one foot has a very small tear that you can kinda "feel" when you put it on, but it doesn't have any sort of repercussion on how it feels once you start moving; just gotta be a little careful when you put it on to make sure the tear doesn't get bigger. Visual SatisfactionVisually, the feetpaws look fantastic and pretty in line with the character. They nail the digitigrade look thanks to the lower part of the padding from the bodysuit, and the color is obviously spot-on and in line with the original design as well. Much like the rest of the suit, they feel nice and easy to brush. The toenails/claws are soft and they look perfect, both color-wise and with how they're placed.
