I'm looking through the resources to find either the right brush, texture, or style (prefer style) to create a fur effect on a vector object. I did find a fur brush pack, but it didn't work out with what I was trying to accomplish. Here is a silly example of a creature I'm looking into basing mine off of. The fur sticks out pointedly instead of traveling around the object.

If anyone is working on something like this or knows how to accomplish it, it would be a huge help. Thanks.
