Weichund is a living Rottweiler Plushie (Stuffed Animal), and this is based on the Plushie Fursuit. I went with a more plushie design for Weichund, focusing on the character description of “Soft” and “Toy like”. Shying away from the fursuit the art is biased on in favor of realism. This design allowed me to play up the "Plushie" aspect without making Weichund look all "Stitched" together, and avoiding just copying the fursuit which this is based on.
These types of badges are always a challenge as they step out side my comfort zone of Anthro Animals. Doing Objects, and Fursuits (living or other wise) is a different set of gears. The Fur and the Anatomy are not always there, and they need to look synthetic yet possibly alive. Anyways this one was fun, and challenging.

I had an old dog plushie laying around I reference the general shape,
However it was not in this pose, or had this coloration. Any artist that does realism that says they don't use references are lying to you. I can do a lot from memory, but to really nail high level of detail I have to call on references. I learned how important refs are from studying one of my favorite artist, Norman Rockwell.

Oh I completely understand. I've become heavily dependent on references for form, though I've yet to truly get on board with using references for light/colour and texture, which is something I really need to do.
Hats off to you for this anyway - I can't describe how but I think you pulled off the synthetic look of the fur well.

Dry Brush Stippling.
A little highlight paint to the dark under painted fur on a fuzzy old filbert, and barely touch the surface of the art, tap, tap, tap. Add more paint wipe it off, and repeat, tap, tap, tap. turning the brush to the flow to the fur. And that is how I got the short synthetic look. *Grin*
