Making Hobbes

This is the design for my dearest brother Adam's Christmas present. Planning on turning that carefully drawn Hobbes from the good old comics into a real life Hobbes stuffed animal [Just like in the Comic!]. Sure he's almost 26 years old, but he loved it growing up, why would he stop now? Hopefully I'll finish it by Christmas morning... I usually don't start projects with enough time to finish them (on time). So wish me luck!
