searching for a few shades of grey fur/dark grey hair/colouring fur tips/general things

so, there's a character i'd really, really want to make into a fursuit, even though it seems barely possible. i like challenges and i'm really attached to him, plus i haven't seen a fursuit made in that "style" yet so it'd be unique
can't figure out a few things, so i thought i'd ask here, you guys are really helpful.


first, here's the character i'm talking about

and i'm asking for general building advice first; not sure what'd be the best material for a head base; the only thing i know is moving jaw is a must. i've made lots of fursuits so far, but in his case... i just don't know.
i'm willing to make him a LITTLE more animal like, but not too much... wouldn't be the same character anymore.

next thing. his colours are just greys, and i can't change them as it's a part of the "concept". i had trouble searching for furs, especially the lightest grey... thought about replacing it with white, but it just wouldn't look right. help would be really, really appreciated; both european and american sellers are okay; i've got an american friend to help me out and ship things to me.

then the hair. couldn't really draw it as i wanted it to look on the ref, so here's how it should look like:


/yeah, it's so obvious the "original" in OC doesnt apply to him hahaha/
it seems a bitttt too long and spiky to use fur /and the colour's hard to find as well/, and too short to use NFT
i thought about wefting it but i can't find braiding hair in the right colour either...

last thing, he has something kind of like short facial hair, and i thought, is it possible just to dye/drybrush just the tips of shaved fur on the muzzle so it'd look like this?

okay, end of rant. hope i'm not annoying
thanks in advance!
