2D Animation Project (Spine)

I'm looking for an animator for a mobile game I'm working on. There is a lot of work to do. It's a mixed martial arts game and the project is for the animation of the characters.

Two important points: 1) I won't have the final art until likely April. My illustrator can't start until March, but he wants the animations completed so he knows what he needs to build. So I would need temporary art provided by you in place in order to do the work. Please only respond if you can do artwork for the characters that we can use as placeholders. 2) The animations need to be completed using the Spine software at esotericsoftware.com.

Here is a demonstration of Spine in action:

It's going to be a difficult job because the characters need to act like mixed martial arts fighters, not just similar to a generic punch and kick platformer. I've found that looking at MMA console game footage on YouTube is helpful to get a feel of how fighters move, etc. I can provide YouTube clips of console games to help you figure out what they look like.

It's not clear what the final characters will look like. The plan is to put in a generic character minus color, shading, etc. and animate everything really well. From there my artist can look at the pieces that were created in order to build the final character. I suspect adjustments will have to be made after his artwork is completed. I can pay for these adjustments. But his work is going to be based on your work. So your skills as an animator is very important. I can provide a sample of a generic character for you to build from ­ but it's just a static image. A lot of small details for the character aren't required for this project as they will eventually be replaced by art from my artist. My artist is excellent, but is not an animator.

The difficulty of doing this project with a mixed martial arts theme is the quantity and difficulty of the animations required. It's very easy for things to look bad. I have a list of 32 animations that would need to be created as a minimum to ship the game.

Everything needs to be completed by the end of February.

Unfortunately, for the person that I choose, I need to be able to do a small sample project with them first to make sure the animator understands the requirements and difficulty of the project. This is not an easy project. Please don't respond if you are hoping to rush through the work.

Thanks!
