Intro

Hello and welcome to my character design contest! I'm planning a webcomic based around the character of Lampwick/Lucignolo from Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio. The story entered the public domain recently and I'm seeking a design for use in my comic. It will be part of an anthology centered on dark children's media. In the original story, Lampwick is a thin, mischievous character that leads Pinocchio away from school and to Toyland, where they lay about doing nothing until their degeneracy causes them to transform bit by bit into donkeys. The Coachman who took them to Toyland then sells them as work animals.

Criteria

As this will be a webcomic, I'm looking for simple designs that are easy to repeat. It will be black and white, so no colors are necessary but you can add them to make your entry more exciting. All that is required is:

- One black/white sketch of the front and side view of the character

It does not have to be a polished rendering.

It should not be a modern-day character (no modern clothes/accessories)

It should be a provincial country aesthetic, though it does not have to specifically be the story's traditional Italian countryside. 

It should be a design that I can have the rights to should you win, so I can use it without license in a public webcomic. Credit will be given on the opening title page.

It should not be a copy of/similar to Disney's animated adaptation of the character. Only the original work is in public domain. Disney's designs and interpretations are their own.

You may enter as many times as you like with different designs.


Bonus Points

Your entry will have better chances if it has the following non-mandatory additions:

- A design of his donkey form, or a partial transformation form (i.e. donkey ears/tail on his human form)

- Additional angles/expressions of the character
