Fur questions for a possible Bunnymund fursuit

Ever since I saw Rise of the Guardians, the idea to make a Bunnymund fursuit has been growing on me. I know how I plan to make the majority of it, but I need some advice when it comes to the fur for the project.


My biggest problem is deciding whether I should buy two colors of fur or airbrush the whole thing. Bunnymund is white with a lot of gray-blue and some darker tones, and I'm not sure if it'd be easier/better to sew gray on and airbrush it with a light blue-gray, or if I should just buy white and airbrush all the markings on.

This is what I've figured so far:

Using gray and white fur would take out a lot of the airbrushing needed, though it would still need a light coat to get the blue hues in. Problem is, Bunnymund has some funky markings on his back that would make sewing a nightmare.

Airbrushing the whole thing would allow me to get those complex markings done without the sewing hassle, and it'd be easier to incorporate the little transitions in color that he has. However, I'm not sure how much airbrushing white fur can take, and if it'd be too much work to do the whole thing.

What I'm going for:


And the back markings that are throwing me off (you can't see them all in this, but just for an idea on their complexity):

Another thing I'm wondering concerns the fur itself. Would I be better off using DF or fox fur? I love the softness of DF, but I'm leaning more towards fox for the white (assuming I'm not using gray fur and am airbrushing everything) for the realistic appearance. Where can I find some quality white fox fur for a decent price? Also, is there a pile you guys would recommend for the suit? I can shave down anything that's too long, but I'd like some length for his fluffier patches.

Thank so much!
