Requests? Why not.

General
Been kinda dry on ideas for what to draw recently. I'm in the middle of drawing a piece right now, about an hour and half in, and still not done with the sketch, but other than this, I have no ideas. So I figured I'd take a couple of requests and/or do some trades to fill up the queue. Yes, that's right, free of charge, I will be taking up to three requests at a time (trades will go in those same slots). I can't promise any timeliness of completion, although I'll try to get them done within a week or two of when I start (no guarantees!), but I figured I'd try this out. See how it goes. First, though, some rules.
1. Nothing too complex. I'm practically a novice at this. Although I draw often, I never really draw anything complex. I can try for something more complex than I usually draw, but anything too complex I just won't draw.
2. Keep it clean. I won't draw anything mature or fetish-y. I'd like to keep my portfolio worksafe.
3. One request per person. Unless I'm running really dry, I guess.
4. I reserve the right to turn down any request I feel does not comply with these rules, or I just don't want to draw, for some reason I've forgotten to list here. I don't really have to be doing this at all. Don't worry, keep it sane and it shouldn't be a problem.
And some notes:
1. Reference/a detailed description is always nice. If you say that you want a purple cat with red highlights...well, I won't know where to put the highlights and it might end up all wrong! Reference pictures help clear this up, or a sufficiently detailed description.
2. I don't know how long this will last. It will presumably end mid-January when winter break ends. No promises it won't end sooner.
3. The picture will probably end up being in heavy outline style, such as in the Viktor Vaero piece, but if you want me to aim for something else, I can try. No guarantees, however. Something like Ysrhal will only work if I'm sufficiently satisfied with the pencil sketch, and something like Pyrrim took so long becuase I was constantly refining the edges. So outline-less is pretty much out of the question, although I can try.
4. Specifying the more, the better. Poses, camera angles, etc, will make it even easier for you to get what you want. Especially because I generally just draw fairly neutral poses, and I'm sick of that. I want to draw something dynamic. So please, specify whatever you can.
5. If you feel like paying me, for whatever reason, I won't complain :-P However, it won't make me change my mind about if it is against the rules I have laid out. I could bump it up in the queue or try to finish sooner, though. I'd hopefully like to take commissions sooner or later, but I certainly don't feel as though I should be explicitly asking for money now before I've shown that I can really put out a good work. I still need practice. Lots of it.
The request queue is currently:
1.
devious-bane - post-sketch
2.
vicvic - post-sketch
3. EMPTY

Also, remember, this whole thing is an experiment, so I don't know how well it'll go over.
Don't worry, I'm doing that all the time XP
Basically, I just want something of Devious. It's been a while since I did anything with him in it that was serious.
Some Refs:
The shape:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1605117/
He has a pointed nose. He is a dragon, but no wings. Really long hair, wavy and straight down the back, spikey over the top and down the neck.
Eyes:

Read Iris, cat-like pupil. I didn't know how to draw a reptiles pupil, so I stuck with that.
Clothing:

Similar to the one on the right(marked Devious), also shows somewhat of what the hair looks like.

Basically, this is what is looks like as mentioned above.
If you need anything else, I'll scratch something up for you.
Motion like \-|-/ if you get the picture there.
The deceiving grin would be the facial expression.
If not, I always wanted to try hanging over someone's head with my tail saying "Wassup?" for pure lulz.
But, why not. Tell me, though... are you more comfortable with animals/anthros or humans? This knowledge will affect what I request!

I need to draw an updated reference of him. Basically, his wings are optional, and I'm not all that picky about people taking liberties. I think variations are neat, really.
I guess he's something a bit different than "anthro." I dunno what you'd call him. I know he can be sort of a complex design... if it's too much trouble, I don't mind if you turn me down. :) Whatever you're comfortable with.
Anyway, I'll give it a shot. I can't guarantee spectacular results, though.

Produce whatever you can/feel comfortable with. :) As I said: I'm not a picky person. Thank you in advance!
