The who in the what now? Oh, right, the Australian Furs forum. Account created, logged in, why are so many of the posts duplicated, and the formatting gone all screwy?
Okay, so Sebastian has scales instead of fur, right? That is going to change things to a certain extent, probably by making it easier to make. You won't have to have the light trying to glow through a coat of fur, for one thing.
Leaving the LEDs visible kinda makes it look a little tacky, and if it were my choice, would be something I'd avoid. I watch a lot of maker videos, and have seen quite a number of LED-lit projects, so I've seen how similar they all look with an almost blinding glow on them.
At least, that's the way they show up on video. They might look somewhat different in person. But that only adds to my interest in making the LEDs less bright than everybody else makes them.
In your costume, the point is not “Look at me! I’m lit with LEDs!”, but more along the lines of “Hey! My suit changes colour!”, which is much different.
