i couldn't make the intended blue fur coloration, that's in my design sketch, work in 3D, so had to default back into making the CG fur look brown/yellowish in order for the final presentation of the creature to be nice :)
on a side note; the creation of this project and the in depth research that went into it, was inspired by having had the chance to work with Alex Skidmore ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexskidmore/ ) and first hand experience his in depth knowledge and understanding of so many different aspects of creative development, that had inspired me to try it out for myself and see if i could even scratch the surface of that level of understanding in my own project as he brings to the table :)
