WANTED: Hand drawn Character animator for short AGS game (FLASH ideal)

[sithlord1823]

Project:
An as yet unnamed hobby project with some good talent involved. Hilarious Lucasarts esque medieval based point and clicker involving a revenge (and cash) driven pig farming hero, a vampire hunter with a side-line in fashion design, a very unsuccessful evil Doctor that has killed his hamster, a dwarven blacksmith with no concept of height and the inability to grow a proper beard............ and a troll named Betty that runs the local general store... What's not to like!

Details:
A new adventure that is centred on witty dialogue, nice art and that heart and soul you only get from 90's adventure games! This is an unpaid position as we're all doing it for the love of it.... but who knows where it could lead! The game will span a few hours and will be a 'chapter 1' if you like, but with a conclusive ending (giving us the option to carry on if we desire). We have a good team of people with experience, including professional music / voice over production, good art, and an awesome script. Even though this is an amateur game, we want the highest quality possible..... We just need you. Game will run at 800x600 resolution.

Positions Available:
I need someone to create character animations by hand and provide animations for use with AGS (I've been advised that Flash is ideal).

There are approximately eleven NPC characters that need spot and idle animations, along with one character that requires a full range of walking animations and all the other jazz. Some background animations would be nice too. Only people who have experience with these kinds of graphics need apply. I can also supply basic character drawings to base your work on but I would rather you create them based on my descriptions.

Deadline:
There is no strict deadline but we all put a few hours into it per week. We have around 50% of the background art, 50% of the script, all puzzles have been created, production on AGS has just started, music production has just started, Voice recording will commence in January. I imagine we'll be nearly ready june/july 2014, maybe earlier.

Comments:
Interested parties can reply to this thread or preferably contact me via PM. Please see an example of background art with character design below. This character was kindly supplied by forum member, Ghost, to show the kind of quality I'm looking for.

If you think your style fits and you are interested then please contact me. I can send further information and game elements on request. Thanks!
