Thanks! It was a lot of trial and error learning what every setting in Blender's hair system does- I made over 90 test renders just for the fur. The most useful tool, though, is the "Deflect emitter" setting on the combing tools- it basically limits how far you can comb the individual hairs which makes it possible to set your brush size really high and comb the entire model in a few strokes. Then once it's mostly how you want it, use the smooth tool to fix any problems and make transitions look better.
