Artist creating 2D game assets

I’m seeking 2D artist to help me create a game taking place in a world of magic. The following are the general outline of the work: Characters: - 3 different characters (general outline will be provided) - each character requires one full/half body portrait and one top-down image (see attached files) - the details of the characters will be similar to the files attached, nothing too fancy - I do not have requirements for clothing and accessory, you can be as creative as you want Icons: - 10 different icons of magic spells (fireball, teleportation, etc) Animations: - 2 character animations - each character animation takes ~4-8 frames - 10 animations of magic spells - each spell animation takes ~1-4 frames (fireball = 3 frames; teleportation = 1 frame) - each animation must be broken down into PNG files with transparent background Backgrounds: - 3 different background images (game play, character selection, lobby) - backgrounds need to allow user interface/characters to stand out - each background needs to include its user interface such as buttons and scroll views for various things (specifications will be provided) - each background must be unique and related to the theme Optional: - please send me a sketch any magic related character (wizard, dragon, elf, etc) in full/half body portrait along with your bid - previous portfolio work with similar requirements will qualify as a submission - priorities will be given to those with a sketch submitted - this sketch will be entitled to you, I will not be using it with my game unless you are hired - the style I’m looking for is anime with a slightly realistic feel rather than cartoon style - you may submit more than one sketch showing off different art style if you wish Sample: - please take a look at the attached files for the style I’m looking for and get a sense of the level of details for the character art - image1: right art style; right level of details - image2: right art style; slightly too detailed - image3: idea inspiration; too detailed - image4: idea inspiration; right level of details - image5: top-down image sample; right level of details for top-down image Feel free to message me for any questions, I'll try my best to reply within a day. Thank you very much for your interest.
