Valencia 2 WIP#3/ reworking this project (Patreon)

This would be my final render (sans Photoshop work) but I am just not happy with this at all. short hair is proving a great hassle to pull off and I don't just want to fix it all in photoshop without understanding how to properly get the effect I am looking for. I would like to take the rest of this month to rework the fur shaders and lighting completely. the fur is just not as physicaly accurate as I would like and everything looks blotchy.

Might not finish this image by the end of the month like I planed :/

once again, I would like to remind that the final image will be available on primeleap when its done!
