HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
The head is very comfortable. It was made on a Colorful Creatures LLC hyena v 1 base, so it is made out of hard resin. The maker added padding inside the head and sanded down some rough edges so it would be very comfortable. It is a little loose on me, but that is no big deal. The head is very roomy and the vision and ventilation is great. The head is not lined, since the entire thing is hollow it would be hard to do so. I just wear a face shield or balaclava.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
She looks phenomenal. It is exactly what I envisioned, if not better. I was very excited with each progress shot. My favorite part is the mane, the maker did a great job and it looks awesome! The design and symmetry are right on. She took very careful consideration to my reference sheets. The shaving is very close and mostly even, there are a few small places where it's shorter than the rest, but it takes a careful eye to notice that so it doesn't bother me. The fur feels very soft and I cant feel the glue beneath. I can brush her easily.

Shaida looks just like her ref and is a total dream suit. I am very happy with how she turned out.
