Jersey Devil

We are looking for an illustrator that can create a Jersey Devil comic book style drawing for our company. We originally discussed the character being done in the style of Sonic the Hedgehog, but your creativity and ideas are a must. This character, once created, will represent us as the official character of our company. All artwork would become property of the company. We need the character to be friendly, cool, and fun. We need him to be non scary unlike the legend. Wings are optional. We want this character to become part of our logo, website, and on any and all menus used in the restaurant. He will have to be redrawn, in future jobs, for holidays, menu themes, or just for the heck of it. Many poses a must. He must also represent New Jersey with honor. A name has not been chosen yet since we were thinking of doing a contest that would allow a customer to name him. The best name would be given to him. As of right now we have nicknamed him JD. Red is a must colour for him, but not limited.
