Controlling each individual LED woudn't strictly be necessary as I'm not looking to create precise patterns on Sebastian, just slowly shifting patterns moving across his body, like the movement of clouds or ocean waves. That kind of thing.
Those RGB LED strips do look good though, and you're right; they solve a lot of problems right away, particularly the waterproofing. Programming several strips to work in conjunction though could be quite a feat, and I'd need to know how flexible they are - IE how far do they bend without breaking when I need to fold the suit away for storage & travel.
Yes, your estimation of the positioning of LED across Sebastian's front is pretty much spot on. He has the rotund lower-half of a wallaby, so that increases the surface area considerably.
