Hi there. I'm currently making a small indie game and I require a single animated character. I already have the basic sprite, It's of a man in a suit in profile, (the game is a side on platformer). The character is approx 70 pixels in height. The existing static sprite can be used as a basis, or the artist can make a new sprite if they think they can do a better job .

This is a non commercial venture, so if anyone out there is feeling very kind, and would be willing to do this for a credit mention, then I'd really, really apreicate it. If not, I can pay if needs be.

So I need the following animations..

Man stationary (already done but if the artist can make a better version of the character then a new stationary graphic will be needed.
Man running
Man jumping (The jump distance is variable but one jump animation should be enough.)
Man going down on one knee and putting his cupped hands together, on his knee, as if he was about to offer someone a boost, up over a high wall (Hope that makes sense)

Thats it. I will need to get an idea of the amount of time this might take, and an hourly / per animation rate to see if this is something I can indeed afford to outsource.

Thank you very much for your time, I will obviosuly require examples of work, but if you are potentially interested in taking this on, and will be able to create the animations in the next two weeks,  please email me at twistidchimp@hotmail.com.

All the best.

i would also do it for free.
advice : you dont need to animate jump distance you can make a sprite while in air and then a different animation for landing. :P
