Re-primed.  The bulge stands out from the fur a bit but I knew a good paint job would help cover up the differences.

Some first coats.  It's funny how the pink in the ear dominates at this stage. Washes and highlights focused on grey tones (not reds) will tamp that down a bit. 

First washes made him look really dirty.

The heavy glaze of ashen brown moves him away from a dirty looking creature to a more rich fur color.  Though at this point the face bulge is clearly standing out from the fur on the figure.

The contrast between the grey-ashen-brown and the concrete grey provided a nice contrast I wasn't expecting.  The concrete grey has a little blue in it.  And normally I avoid mixing a warm and cool tone, but it really helped make this bulge work.

Some final fur highlights and eye work.

Went with a straight denim color for the patch on the back.

There's a some lessons learned on the figure that I would do better if I did him again - mostly green stuff lessons. But the end result fits right in that uneasy place I'd hoped he'd be.

He's freaky enough that I could see him frightening little kids out of a closet door...
