Where can I buy characters with 4 or 8 direction walk cycles?

[kookaburra]

I can find sites to buy assets for my game but they only have left/right walk cycles, any ideas where can I find good looking large characters with 4 or 8 direction walk cycles? I know the ideal is to hire an artist, but at this point I'd rather buy pre-made characters so I'm not paying a premium for custom made graphics.

Thanks!

No idea, but I remember Mouth of war was offering something to that effect...

Maybe you can get a good deal with him and get new characters, don't know, but couldn't hurt asking, no?

Any google image search on Walk cycle" or "pixel art" links to deviant-art a lot of times.
many people there may even offer commissions for pixel art, or make you a high-res flash puppet that animates in 8 directions that you can render in flash and do some low-res-outlining on. or find some free things to practice and modify.

something like

may turn into sprites like
