I guess the basic idea I was thinking of was a sort of displacement mapping:
by using a larger shell object with a partially transparent texture you
avoid the smooth edges that give away bump-mapped surfaces (left sphere),
while still keeping control over the direction, length, self-shadowing, etc.
of the fur (right sphere).
