Character Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Head Wear Satisfaction Fits very well! There is even enough room on the inside to wear my glasses inside if I wanted! It is slightly more heavier than my other fursuit heads, but it’s not a problem. Ventilation and vision are great! The head is lined on the inside. Visual Satisfaction Very happy! Looks completely true to my character. Symmetry is perfect. Fur is super soft. Expression is super cute and happy, I love it! Special Attachments and Features Lupe put magnets in the ears to attach the “earrings”. Plus I can attach the ears together for a cute and funny look! The magnets also anchor the ears to the sides of the head so I don’t have the worry about the ears getting flipped. The inside of the head has a tag featuring the Lupe Suits logo. Body Wear Satisfaction It’s very comfy! It’s a little tight on my upper shoulders, but it’s not a problem and does not affect me. It’s very easy to get into, the tail and feet are attached, and I don’t need to wear a belt. The body is a bit hard to walk in however, but only because it’s a dropped crotch digitigrade fursuit. It’s tiring to walk long distances in it (such as skybridges). This is not due to the maker, this is because it’s a dropped crotch fursuit. It also gets hotter very quickly but again, this is not due to the maker. Visual Satisfaction I am absolutely in love with how the bodysuit looks! The legs are so cute and short and I love them! Symmetry is perfect and matches my concept art perfectly! Fur is super soft! Special Attachments and Features The feet are attached and tail are attached. But she built zippers into the feet and tail so I can remove the stuffing for easy storage and washing, which I do appreciate immensely! The feet has clear vinyl sewn over the bottoms, so you can view the pawpads but not need fursuit sandals. This is a very unique feature and I love it! Very well done! Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction The hands are very comfy and have labels on the insides to say which is right and which is left. The feet are also very comfy. They are “slipper style” feet with no shoes. They are built directly into the body and have zippers where I can remove the stuffing for easy storage and washing, and has clear vinyl sewn over the bottoms, so you can view the pawpads but not need fursuit sandals. The hands and feet are very well made and I am very happy with the quality of them! Visual Satisfaction Very happy with the hands and feet! Shaving is very neat and symmetry is also perfect. Special Attachments and Features The feet have clear vinyl sewn over the bottoms, so you can view the pawpads but not need fursuit sandals. She asked me if I wanted the clear vinyl on the feet, you can choose not to have it if you want. And the hands have tags on the insides to say which is the right paw and which is the left paw. Very happy with these features! Tails Wear Satisfaction The tail is attached directly to the bodysuit, so I am happy to not need to wear a belt. Very easy. Seems to be well-sewn on! I like how it waggles when I walk around in suit. Visual Satisfaction Very happy! Matches the concept art well! Special Attachments and Features There is a zipper in the tail to remove the stuffing for easy storage and washing. Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? Very happy! She followed my concept art absolutely perfectly! How well does everything fit together and match up? Extremely happy with the entire suit. Everything fits absolutely perfect. The suit is consistent with the maker’s style. Overall Project Quality Absolutely happy with how everything came out! I get so many compliments on my suit all the time! Purchase Process Initial Contact Very easy. I contacted her through Twitter. Maker Response Time Very satisfied! But since she lives in Australia and I’m in the United States, I was aware there may be delays with responses. Maker Professionalism She was extremely professional, kind, and polite and answered any questions or concerns I had. Project Completion Time Since my suit was a trade, I was completely fine with waiting a while for it. It was completed on time for MFF 2018 and I received my suit in person at the convention. Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating. This means the reviewer would recommend Lupe Suits. Final Comments I am absolutely happy with how my suit came out and I cannot recommend this maker enough! She is super kind and polite and very accommodating! But if you don’t live in Australia, be aware of the time zone differences (like when I was awake, she was asleep over there). It did cost a lot to ship my DTD over to Australia so be aware of that too. She did not send me any WIPs, but she sent me photos of the completed items (but I imagine if she made a mistake, she can probably easily fix it for you!). But honestly all in all it was very worth it! Are you the maker of this item? Would you like to leave an official response? Click here.
