Photos of Completed Product

Head

Wear Satisfaction

It feels comfortable. No issues with the foam stinging. I would appreciate it if the mouth was movable and having a little more room for glasses. It still fits well.



Visual Satisfaction

The head looks great! I love the little foam fangs and the hair tuft is awesome!

Special Attachments and Features

2 fangs on the side of the mouth, glow in the dark eyes. Both look great and there are no maintenance issues.

Body

Wear Satisfaction

It’s good and easy to wear. The only problem is it does feel a bit too tight, but that is probably on me for gaining weight.



Visual Satisfaction

Looks fantastic! I’m very satisfied with how well the stripes match up to my reference sheet.

The only thing I don’t like is how the zipper is placed in between the sewn-in muscles. The gap it creates is relatively obvious. The maker and I have agreed to send the suit in for repairs and relocate the zipper

Special Attachments and Features

Muscle padding (Sewn-in), Digitigrade padding, Butt padding. The digitigrade/butt padding is hard to put on so I don’t bother with it.

Hands and Feet

Wear Satisfaction

They feel well. I do have a zipper attached to both feet paws. They do a great job of keeping my legs/shocks from showing!



Visual Satisfaction

Both of them look good, no particular comments

Tails

Wear Satisfaction

Really good. The only complaint is the foam didn’t take long to flatten.



Visual Satisfaction

Only problem is the fur matting, otherwise perfectly fine!

Overall

There are no major discrepancies from my reference sheet. Any changes were requested by me. I am very impressed with how well the suit turned out!

How well does everything fit together and match up?
Everything looks great and feels great!

I am very happy with the product. It was relatively inexpensive when considering all that I got on it!



Purchase Process

Initial Contact
Very satisfied. I had commissioned them previously.

Maker Response Time
All communications were on Telegram. Very dissatisfied with contact during the commission. There would oftentimes be several weeks with messages being left on read, and a few times where messages were not read for a month.

Maker Professionalism
Apart from my messages being neglected frequently they were professional. No need to talk about personal life.

Project Completion Time
Barely satisfied. My suit was due for MFF 2019. The suit was started with barely a month before the completion due date. It barely arrived the exact due date (as in the date before I flew out to MFF) and it could have very easily missed. I was very lucky to have it in time.
