Features: Horns or Antlers, Hooves Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactI found out about Sheenitude on Twitter, had been following for a little while. Commissions opened on social media with a Google application form. Quotes and subsequent acceptances were done mostly over email and Telegram. Outlines for expectations and requirement were very clear and concise. Maker CommunicationCommunication was quick and efficient. Professionalism was and still is evident in messages. Project Completion TimeProject was finished on schedule. Progress timeline was very clear and updates were consistent during work. Overall Project QualityOverall I am very happy with the quality of Dawn. With the design being a pre-approved design by Sheenitude I had the upside of having a suit designed with available furs in mind so the end result could be anticipated well. For the price I expected a high quality product that was cohesive and cosmetically appealing and Sheenitude definitely delivered. I would go back and commission again in the future! Components Head Wear SatisfactionFit of the head is very good, enough room to be comfortable with a small amount of wiggle room but not so tight as to impede movement. Fully lined, ventilation and vision are good, can see a little through the mouth when going down stairs or finding things on the floor which is nice. Visual SatisfactionSymmetry and shaving of the head is very good, material and feel of the fur is very soft. Expression of the suit is spot-on, magnetic eyelids easily change the expression. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionBodysuit construction is very good, after around 40 hours of wear no signs of wear on seams. Unlined but enough room for under-armour. Movement is good considering digi styling, full range of motion with consideration that general caution is taken. Very satisfied with overall fit Visual SatisfactionVery good symmetry and shaving. Feel of fur is very soft. Leg padding is done with removeable poly-fill, have replenished a little to account for wear0down over time but only a small portion. Leg shape with padding is toony digi and matches the overall character very well. Design was artistic liberty with available furs in mind, colours came as expected and are very vibrant. Hands Wear SatisfactionHands are well made, fully-lined and comfortable. Allow for full movement are easy to put on and take off. They are fit well enough to not be at risk of flying off when making larger hand/arm motions. I added a sewn magnet into the cuff to improve the fit with the armsleeve as the arm was a little baggy when holding my hands above my head. Visual SatisfactionVery satisfied with overall look, the hand-hooves are soft and squishy – fits the character well. Fur used for the digits themselves is black which is nice with avoiding stains over time from using them. Feet Wear SatisfactionFeet were made slightly too large on delivery, slipped a pair of sneakers in that were a proper shape to not slip out even when jumping up and down which resolved the issue easily. With sneakers, they are very comfortable to walk longer distances even up to ~ 1km. Movement is good – can go up and down stair with relative ease. No noticeable issues with durability, I purchased aftermarket fursuit sandals from another maker for more extensive outdoor outings but the soles as provided are durable for hotel and casual outdoor use without concern. Lined with a breatheable material and no concerns with overheating. Visual SatisfactionVery satisfied with the look, soft hoof and large size fits the character nicely. Made evenly, with extended wear I've had to brush out chaffed areas of the fur where sandals straps were rubbing, after going over the areas for a few minutes the fur went back to relatively normal. Over time I do expect that it will wear down but it is the highest friction point in the suit is on the feet and if it becomes visible they are a detached piece and easily replaceable.
