Please don't take my criticism to personal or anything like that. This is by
far better than any attempt I have had (which totals 0) But anyway, to me it
looks like a heightfield of random noise wrapped around a sphere and
blurred. I know this isn't what you did actually, I just think it looks like
that. Id say it looks quite like the bristles on a toothbrush as well.

Curl would definately add to the fur realism. The edges look pretty good,
especially at the bottom and top-right. I think it is the dark grey that
makes things look awkward.

But still, nice work. I hope you post pics of furthur developments.
