Head

Wear Satisfaction

The head is lightweight, viewing angle is good. The front is foam base, while the back is only fabrics. That means it’s easy to acomodate different head shapes, and also can be folded to a quite small size.

From different heads I tryed, it’s one of the easyest to keep on for a long periode of time. Also, since there is no hard material inside the head, there is no risk of injury if you would fall or go a bit to wild while suiting.

The maker says you can machine wash the head, but I haven’t dare yet to do so, only gentle water on surfance and spray inside.



Visual Satisfaction

Head matches perfectly my character sheet, witch is pretty simple. Fur selection matchs my body, even if it was build by another maker some years ago.

AlphaDogsStudio uses foam base from another Danish artist that they created together. That means you pretty much know what you’ll get in advance shape wise, no major surprise. It’s there choice to work that way, I like to know in advance what I buy.

Overall I’m really please with the look and it matches perfectly what I had in mind when I comission them.

Special Attachments and Features

I got two extras with my head that are neat, and I would recommand to anyone wishing to comission AlphaDogsStudio :

– Magnetic head lids, witch are nice for, you know, a bit spicier photos … 🙂
– Two tongues, one short for cute photos, and one really long, for silly ones. The long one even has a magnet at the tip to attach it to the side of the month.

Also, the head was delivered with a carry bag and an owner certificate.

Purchase Process

Initial Contact
AlphaDogsStudio is a friend – was contacted over telegram for it. Sizing was requested to match my body and was sorted quickly with there guide.

Maker Response Time
Maker always responded withing 48h, everything was done over telegram.

Maker Professionalism
Even if the maker is a friend, I was treated more like a client when it came to my Comission, with updates for payement, WIP and completion of the product.

Project Completion Time
The comission was place in February, paid in March, with an original deadline around EF. Due to covid, it was then moved to October, but ended up being ready right before when EF should have taken place.
