Help with my first OC!

[El Spaniardo 4]

Well, im tired of seeing good ol' Towelie as my avatar, but I havent drawn in like 8 years, so I was wondering if someone could help me out a bit.

 

I dont really "enjoy" the mlp show (i prefer South Park or The Regular Show) but of the few episodes I've seen, i fell in love with the timber wolves. I just loved the idea of them being made of wood, but i also thought...damm, these things are like some sort of animal construct/golem, who the hell makes them?

 

And here is where my OC appears, dunno its name, but i was thinking of making some sort of badger/racoon (it has to be kinda cute to fit in the mlp universe) that was actually the guardian of the forest, some sort of druid. I imagined him with a cape made of leaves and branches, and with the head of a timberwolf as its staff.

 

Im really gonna try to draw it myself, but if any of you guys got any advice on how to make a badger/racoon look like if it was taken out of the pony universe. i'd really appreciate it.

Here's a badger~! http://boneswolbach.deviantart.com/art/Badger-293005319

It's from the ep. 'Hurricane Fluttershy'

Aaaand here's a racoon (kinda?) http://adcoon.deviantart.com/art/Fluttershy-and-Raccoon-252604542

I guess all the advice I can give you is to just try and keep to the cutesy style of the bg animals, or try and anthro it a little? 

Your idea seems pretty darn original, btw~ Good luck!!
