This is a art trade/contest. It is kinda depressing when you spend a ton of work on a picture, then enter it in a contest and lose with nothing to really show for it. So if you enter in this contest I will draw you something in return.
The prize will be.... I don't know. Maybe a subscripton? An extra special picture? My phone number? (J/K) Suggestions are welcome.

What am I going on about?

Well there a ton of creative people here on DA. Everyone has their own ideas and style, which is what makes this place so great. I want to put out an idea and see what other people come up with.

Premise:

The Lorax is being turned into a full length feature film and it has been decided that The Onceler needs to be redesigned. You have been given the task to come up with an idea for the new design. You are given complete creative lisence over the new design, but keep in mind that there should be some method or reason for your design. You should be able to explain why you gave your Onceler a monocle or sneakers.

Since this is for a character design, color is extremly important. Multipul color variations are accepted, flat shading is accepted. The point is to design the character, a "weak" drawing with a creative design gets more points then a "strong/beautiful" drawing with a bland design.

Who is the Onceler?

If you don't know shame on you! But please do go out and read the book (The Lorax) by Dr. Suess.
The Onceler is an euntrapanur (forgive my hidious spelling) who cares more about a quick profit then any consiquinces his actions may bring. Keep in mind that the Onceler is not an evil man, just selfish and to proud to admit any wrong doing on his part.

Please leave a comment if you think you might enter so I can know if there will be any participation.

Note: I do have my own version of the Onceler redesigned in my gallery. I don't mind people using it as a spring bored for ideas (if you have to) but keep in mind that it's my design so you can't exactly enter my contest with my own design and get away with it. (It'd be kinda obvious)
