So my NFT arrived today for Links neck and shoulder area. This shot has 3 types of fur showing:

NFT
dark gray grizzle hackle
gray husky

I plan on having at least one more type of NFT on the neck to get the full proper coloring on him and will be trimmed to the right length once on. After watching the game played I made my final decision about any sort of dreads and am going with a long spiky neck hackle. He will be, thus far, the first wolf link cosplay that won't have the dreadlocks.
