My very first tail (pattern)

So I'm trying to crunch time with a faun suit (I want it done by Halloween x.x) and spent yesterday drafting and redrafting a pattern.

here is what I've come up with.

I'm pretty happy, what do you guys think? (please don't be mean)

also for the paw marking, I was honestly thinking that instead of cutting out each individual piece, I'd just cut out a square of white fur and sew it to the back--once I have the seams all picked out it shouldn't be noticeable, right?
