Thanks. I like the look of Curtalied. The characters are comfortably drawn with good expressions and I like the humour. It's getting difficult to find good webcomics now - from what I can see many online cartoonists have gone over to pay-for-view.
Automatic brightness control is going to be pretty much essential for LEDs on Sebastian, as the only way I'd be able to gauge the brightness myself would be to take the head off and look in a mirror. It would take some tweaking and the assistance of an observer to get it to work. My apartment has light dimmers in the lounge room, which would be helpful in testing.
Having canals in Sebastian's ears would be a good idea, as his ears are more rabbit-like than Michael's floppy ears. Putting tubing inside the ears would strengthen them and help them stand up, though for cuteness I'd like them to flop around a little. What I was referring to in the comparrison between a Sebastian fursuit head and that of Michael is that for Michael the exhaust air could have been vented directly though holes cut right on the surface of the head concealed by the floppy ears. For Sebastian canals are going to be necessary, however there *will* be some degree of efficiency loss in the air circulation due to pulling the air through the tube. Those little fans aren't very powerful, and I would expect that there wouldn't be fans as small as the diameter of the canal tubing.
