Commissioned 2D Artist needed for Beat-em-up Adventure.

Hello, denizens of the GarageGames forums. You probably already know why I'm here, but let me go ahead and ask directly. I'm the project manager and lead developer for a two-dimensional action-adventure game that's currently in its early stages of development. My team and I are currently in the market to commission a 2D sprite artist that is capable of efficiently completing our primary character sprites.
We would need about 12 spritesheets to cover our lead characters' motions and expressions throughout the game. Our needs aren't very high quality, but are moderately complex. More details can be provided if someone were to inquire directly with us. As we are working for a client and have a number of disclosure agreements, we aren't able to release hard details until we move further along in the process.
As this is a commissioned work, we're willing to provide monetary compensation for someone's efforts. But because this would be a commission, you won't be able to claim legal rights to the sprites beyond their completion. They would be your work as a commissioned contractor of our team, and upon completion, the sprites would be our legal property. Assuming the project reaches a finished state, you will be recognized as the artist responsible for these sprites, as well.
We're on a very tight schedule, so we would need to work efficiently and communicate well to meet our obligations. If you're interested, please contact me at jacole_85@yahoo.com, or message me here at GarageGames forums at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Jarid Cole

The position has been vacated prior to completion of the project. We would like to see if there is any new interest in aiding with our project as the deadline continues to draw nearer. We'd probably now be looking for someone who can take the sprites we have and animate them into the positions we need. Please refer to the thread's first post for more details. Thank you. 
Michael or something like that
