[Art] Need 2d Character Artist/Animator for platforming game (Paid)

Good morning. 

I am making a 2D coop platformer called Lightfall, where you and a friend play as 2 explorers who are escaping procedurally-generated cave.

     I need an artist to draw the sprite sheets for the 2 main characters in vector art. 

     To contact me, my discord is   saltinecracker4769, where we can discuss further details and pay.

Below are the specifications and reference material I am able to provide. If you are interested or have questions, contact me.



I had my little brother draw a sketch of the 2 characters for reference. 

  Although my brother drew them with arms attached, I am actually going to have the hands and arms detached, like in Enter the Gungeon, so                   implementing new tools and items should be easier.

Here is a guy from Enter the Gungeon for reference.

I also wish for the characters to be kinda stubby like in Gungeon, for the characters are kinda small on-screen and fits theplatformer aspect well.

As for the artstyle, I am doing a simplistic vector art theme.  I will provide screenshots of art already in the game below.

for the animation frames in the sprite sheet, I would like the following. To help. I drew a simple diagram.

- a walking animation that is 8 to 10 frames long

- 5 idle frames for different slopes (flat terrain, steep and mild slope in both directions)

- 1 frame for sliding on walls

-2 frames for jumping (one for going up, 1 for falling down)
