Overall

Initial ContactVery easy! She posted a pre-made smilodon headbase and, after discussing, we decided to do an entirely custom commission!


Maker CommunicationAkoridi is extremely communicative and was sure to keep me updated throughout the entire process!

Project Completion TimeDylan was finished LIGHTNING fast! I couldn't be happier


Overall Project QualityI am extremely happy with the product I received. Even now, two more suits later, Dylan continues to be my favourite and the one I turn to to wear the most


Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionDylan's head fits PERFECT and is visually proportionate to my body, which is good since he's a partial. His vision is stellar, and I never have any ventilation or comfort issues. I can wear him for hours without fatigue, and rarely need to take breaks.


Visual SatisfactionVisually, his head is exactly like the reference. There are small visible glue spots near his eyes, but other than that he is flawless.


Hands

Wear SatisfactionDylan's handpaws are very comfortable. After awhile of wearing them, the lining sticks to my hands due to sweat, and it's hard to get them back on. Other than that, I have no issues with them


Visual SatisfactionVisually, the paws are great. I originally wasn't a huge fan of their shape, but I've grown to love them 🙂


Tail

Wear SatisfactionDylan's tail is just a small bobtail, so I barely feel it as I'm wearing it. There is no discomfort when wearing it


Visual SatisfactionDylan's tail is exactly as shown on the reference. His heart is slightly off center and visually asymetrical, but other than that is perfect.


Feet

Wear SatisfactionDylan's feet are built on crocs, so they're extremely comfortable and easy to wear!


Visual SatisfactionDylan's feet are visually perfect
