I haven't done one of these for a while. This is Professor Shreve, who will be appearing in The Epsilon Project, probably towards the end the month.

We gave him a costume very much in the mould of Abel from DMFA. At one point it was very, very Abel-like, including those awkward rings on the stockings. While I can easily see other 'cubi in SAIA thinking "Abel's outfit looks good, I want some of that too", having an identical outfit on someone who also has the rare dual wings felt a bit too derivative, even though Abel is a cat and Shreve is a sloth.

I'm still not quite settled on his fur colour, or whether he should have hands vs claws. Personally I strongly prefer the hands (if I had claws I'd probably shapeshift hands anyway). But I am interested in what people think of that, and especially the two colour schemes I've shortlisted.
Earlier I had him blue. It looked quite nice, but since Professors Falkirk and Jevex and Headmistress Illiath are blue, and the official uniform for professors is also blue it was making a bit of a strange pattern. ( "Well, your credentials are perfect. But you're not blue so unfortunately I can't hire you." )

I'm still torn whether the stockings should be black, or uniform blue.
