i was drawing an orange/bittersweet dog with a purple nose and yellow eyes longer than I thoght, but orange dog and faffy are two differnt things. although Faffy was ment to be an "impdog" or some kind of canine shaped demon, and faffy sounds like a funny name for such a creature(and then I found out there is a dragon named such)
so this is one overly complicated type of style for a 'sona/mask for me,
to have things like raccoon mask and rings, some features from a weasel, and since I have one, a big of a paunch.
it's not to cool to have a 'sona of an animal you know nothing about or don't 'feel twords" for the real animal or their mythological counterpart.
otherwise, I'd use a bushdog.
or prehaps Faffy was ment to be an imp-short eared zorro.
or a prehistoric dog ancestor. even if I'm a cat person
