Big and Bad

So today's internet searching found me this costume image - to try to replicate for Simon's costume. I am thinking of making the hood/neck as one piece. Possibly making a "shirt" with fur. I'd fold the fake fur in half, cut a neck hole and arm holes. Sort of a pull-over. I'm thinking about sleeves, but am considering having him wear a grey shirt/sweatshirt to reduce the bulkiness. I might add some fake fur to those thin kid's gloves, since I'm sure I have a grey pair around somewhere. And of course, make a tail. And wear grey pants. Somehow using material to figure out myself is more calming than using a pattern - except the ears and the potential of sleeves. Yikes!
