I've been looking for a suit recently. Something that's a collie or a sheltie. This one has really caught my eye, It's actually exactly what I imagined!
Check it out and tell me what you guys think of this persons work. :3
As a fellow maker, I think that's a really beautiful suit and it looks like they do pretty good work. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here, but if you're thinking of commissioning them but worried about quality, I'd go make sure they don't have any unresolved posts on artists_beware, and see if you can find any reviews of their works on the review pages on FA or Tumblr.
Cheers
Looks nice...for a dog...
Overall, I think their work looks very nice. I would say that border collie is definitely their best work.
However, I would watch out for a couple things if you intend to commission them (keep in mind, these are largely based on my personal preferences and aesthetics). First, their tracking toony eyes are, well, not very effective. As you can see in their photos, the eyes don't actually "look" at the viewer from a lot of angles they should still work for; they also appear quite cross-eyed from the front, even for tracking eyes. Second, they have lovely shaping on their toony heads, but the cheeks on their realistic heads seem somewhat "deflated." It's as if they finished the resin cast for the base and decided not to fill it out at all with foam, which is often recommended, since this seems to be a common issue with resin bases. The collie doesn't look like it has the same issue, but it could just be that there aren't any straight-on photos of it.
Like I said, these are just based on my opinion, but if you're not bothered by them and there aren't any artists_beware posts regarding this maker, I think they could be worth commissioning. They have solid airbrushing, very nice (and fairly symmetrical) foam sculpting, and it looks like their shaving is also quite smooth and even.
I have something in the works from a friend i met on the street.
Will post more later..
