LED eyes were made exceptionally well. when turned on there is little issue seeing unlike other suits i have worn with the same feature. Ventilation is great the mouth sits open just a bit and if i need more air the jaw is movable. Vision is great considering its a resin head. Visual Satisfaction I am very pleased with the appearance. The horns are super detailed and i have been asked numerous times if they are real goat horns. The symmetry is spot on and both sides are even, the markings are very well blended. Very high quality fur was used making this head look like the real deal. its is soft and easy to care for. Body Wear Satisfaction The body is comfortable and easy to put on and take off. everything is even and well blended making it an easy and attractive suit. The seams are double stitched by hand so durability is beyond comparison. Visual Satisfaction 10/10 As with the head the fur is of an exceptional quality. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction The hand paws fit like a glove and the shaving on the fur is even and meticulously trimmed. The stilts (hoofs/feet) are well crafted using breathable sandals and nylon straps. They add about a foot to my height and after some practice i can wear them for a few hours with very minor breaks in between. The bottoms have good grip aiding in my ability to walk. They do make clomping sounds which add to the realism of the suit. Visual Satisfaction As with the other parts the feet/hooves were made using high quality fur which was masterfully blended together creating a stunning appearance. Tails Wear Satisfaction The tail is very durable using double hand stitched loops. it sits at the correct spot and has some natural movement when i walk. Visual Satisfaction Looks great and as i stated above has a little bit of a natural movement. Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? The owner of CC poured over my Ref sheet for quite a while and consistently checked with me with any questions they had. How well does everything fit together and match up? everything fits and matches perfectly. I can not recommend CC enough. Overall Project Quality after looking it over carefully and finding any small imperfections i would give this suit a 9/10 which exceeds my expectations. Purchase Process Initial Contact As she is a friend it was extremely easy but for others looking to commission her you can find a link to her TOS and Quote form on her FA. Maker Response Time When ever i had a question or had to update her on something she got back to me within 24 hours. Maker Professionalism being a friend you would expect some special treatment but from the get go she and i made it clear that this was a business transaction and we treated it as such. Contracts were read and signed each of us noting changes we needed etc. She layed out the details and steps clearly keeping me up to date on any changes in the schedule and any modifications needed to make Solus come to life. Project Completion Time 8 months- i was very pleased with the amount of time it took from date of commission to completion. Each step of the way i was told when and how long she expected each part to take. even small minute details were included such as the type of bolts she ordered etc. Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
