I look through art alot, as well as spend alot of time on side stuff, and i've noticed, there are alot of variations to how fur is handled. With scales it seems unanimous that scales can exist, or not exist, because lizards, dragons, etc. all basically have a coating of 'skin' with the possibility of scales spiking off in specific locations.

But with fur, some renditions seem to treat it like it's skin with a color pattern over it, some add fluff, some add fluff in only specific areas while adhering to the colored skin design, some will add some points of implied fur transition, while adhering to the colored pattern skin design.

The question towards a perception i have, is how do different people percieve it in their own presumtions, whether artist or viewer. Do you see it as a color pallet over a humanoid body of skin, with the details that would entail, do you view it as a thick coating of fur over the body, etc. etc.
