Okays so I think you could draw a nice sleipnir. I linked the Wikipedia page as a reference. I will also give you a sleipnir I drew many many years ago.

Please don't go by the reference too much I just like the anatomy of the face, kind of a ghostly evil melty sleipnir is what I want. Don't put wings. Please don't put wings.
So far I am just asking you to interpret sleipnir yourself. I may sketch out a few concepts if I come across some in my head but you can really do anything you want with the subject. Let me know if I'm being too vague with what I want!
style/type: I'll go for the more difficult/ smoother shading thing. I also have another request but I feel kind of rude for asking of this but could you not use the soft brush for shading/highlights?
I mean this one: http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_tools/wishlist/pshop/wishlist_falloffs_on_round_brush1.jpg
I still want shading and highlight and I don't mean I want cell shading. You do this thing where you paint with a brush that changes with opacity when you paint and you also do this thing where you use a soft brush to define the shape. I just want the former, that's all.
Also another request is can you do it grayscale or monochromatic?
background?: no need, you can do it a solid black or dark gray, you can go white if you think it's appropriate.
payment: I will give you 50 mil for this because I am being really vague and demanding
