Hey guys! Been a while since I last posted here. I'm currently planning to revamp my old bodysuit for this coming Anthrocon, as it is around 2-3 years old and the design of my character has changed significantly.
I've been looking around at other suits, and the different types of fur people have used to contrast huge chest fluff to regular body fur. I think this effect would look really great on my suit, as in the past using 1.5 inch shag all around just adds unnecessary bulk to my character.
Of course, I realize you can't really get rid of all the fur bulk, but I would really like to show the contrast between different fur piles, and I need some help choosing a short pile. I see that the faux seal looks like a popular choice, but checking fabric.com's short piles, I came across this. https://www.fabric.com/buy/bm-299/soft-fur-solid-midnight-black
I'm wondering if this is a good pile to use? I really love fabric.com, and it seems like a pretty good price. Has anyone used this fur type before, or should I just find some black seal? I'd really appreciate your help! I'm open to ideas.
