I decided to go ahead and color  Trubbol's request as well. Mainly, I liked how the sketch came out and I REALLY wanted to try some new coloring techniques. It didn't come out as great as I had hoped, but I think I managed to do better than I normally do and learned some new techniques (and used a positively ABSURD number of layers.)

This is NOT a regular thing. If I have sketched a request for you, do NOT expect me to go ahead and color it for free. I maintain the right to color pics I have sketched for experimental purposes or to try and work something out, but it is NOT the norm. If you whine and moan about me giving a free color pic to someone who isn't you I might just stop doing requests altogether. We clear?!
