2D Character Game Animations

I'm looking for a good 2D artist that can draw character animations for a PC game. I need about 20 character sheets to be drawn for a game I am working on. The characters will be similar to those in the attached sheet and I expect the work to be as good, if not better than the characters on the sheet. You will be creating new characters, I don't want a character sheet that has a bunch of edited pictures frmo the attached sheet, this needs to be original work. I would like the character to be about the same size as the character in the example. As far as character animations go, I will need quite a few different animations. Some characters will need all the animations and some will not, I will let you know about this when you are accepted as the coder. The supplied sheet only has a walking animations in all directions, so here are the animations that I will need done for different characters: Walking (All 4 directions) Attacking (All 4 directions) Casting Spell (1 Direction) Dieing (Falling to the ground, just 1 animation for this) Different Expressions ie. Surprised look, laughing (these will be just 1 animation and 1 direction) I would like at least 3 different frames for each animation. For the animations that require 4 directions, you really only have to draw 3 directions as you can just mirror the right and left animations. Upon accepting a bid I will supply you with a character bio to help you in creating the character. If you intend to bid on this project, please supply some examples of your artwork, it will greatly increase the chances the being selected. If you supply character artwork that is similar to the supplied character sheet, even better. Thanks. ## Deliverables Rent A Coder requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details.
