Review InformationReviewerInstagram: retrongrade Prior ExperienceYes, this is my second suit I've Commissioned Wear Time30+ hrs Informed Maker of IssuesNo, because they had a lot more people on their queue, and I didn't want to bother them too much. Roux the Beagle – Partial Neutral ProjectThis item was a commission Paid: A Payment Plan of $1000 - $2999 Initial Contact: August 2020 Completion/Ship Date: July 2022 Shipping Origin: Local pickup Type: Partial Style: Toony Padding: None Specialties: None SpeciesName: Beagle Found in: Canidae(?) Features: Hair / Wig Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial Contact10/10 Very easy! I contacted them through Instagram Maker CommunicationSometimes they wouldn't answer for a while. And they would give me set dates of when they would start just the base, and those ETAs were missed as well. At that point I just ordered a rush fee for AC, which gladly worked out for the most part. Project Completion TimeProject took almost 2 years to complete, but I'm overall satisfied with the overall look and wear-ability of the suit. Overall Project QualityYes!! This suit exceeded my expectations! I loved they're style from the beginning, and their suit making was getting better and better. When I finally got to pick up Roux at AC and got to see him for the first time, I was blown away. I loved every bit of him. The maker, Oakley, did a tremendous job. Couple ETAS were passed, but honestly, it was worth it and every penny to see my character come to life :'] Components Head Wear Satisfaction10/10 Very Comfy and easy to clean! Nothing has come undone which is awesome! Lined with cotton in the back and neoprene in the front. Ventilation is amazing and I can breathe in him very well! And the vision is amazing, can see really well in the suit! Visual Satisfaction100/10 Cutest little face and how he is portrayed as a suit is perfect as he is more childlike in nature! Shaving is lovely, no choppy edges or bald spots. Materials were picked by me; they are as soft as can be and easy to brush! The expression is perfect of how I imagine him to be seen: Happy and Go-Lucky. He kind of matches how I drew him back then, but I still love him so much. Hands Wear Satisfaction10/10 Hands are very comfy and easy to put on and clean! They have kept up for a while now, and I hope they keep up for years to come! Visual Satisfaction9/10 They almost look like an edited Kloof suits paw pattern, but I still love them. Shaving is even, and they even matched the 2 different paw pad colors! Tail Wear Satisfaction10/10 They got the tail so perfect, even to the asymmetrical spot on one side of the tail! Easy to put on and I can wag for days! Quality and Durability are amazing, nothing has come undone with how many shenanigans I get into. Visual Satisfaction10/10 Same things as I said above! Shaving is even, materials feel great, all of it is amazing quality. Feet Wear Satisfaction8/10 My second time having feet paws, but a first having indoors. They're cute, but on the oddly long side, the toes aren't so compact from what other feet I've seen. The thread also came undone on a couple of the paw pads but was an easy fix. (Note: Don't wear around concrete or anywhere bumpy.) The interior was made of cotton just like the paws, and they are pretty easy to get on. My feet do slip around a bit in these paws, but it's to be expected with sock paws. Visual Satisfaction9/10 Toes are kind of asymmetrical, but visually look alright. Nothing had bald spot or choppy edges. thread came undone from the cuff but was also an easy fix. Special FeaturesHe came with Eyelids! They are Velcro, so I do get scared wearing them out since I might lose them. But they are fun, and it's cool to have different expressions for him.
