[Doppelganger]

Thanks for the compliment. the fur is a very simple process of modelling.
start with a cube in your preferd application then model one strand then duplicate till you have a chunk then copy that chunk, edit it so it appears different and copy those till you have enough difference then its just place and duplicate till you have the desired coverage........then cake.
if you want a more detailed description I can try to post a few images of the steps after work
