Anime Side-Scroller Sprites Needed

I’m ready to replace the placeholder art in my 2D side-scrolling prototype with polished, animation-ready sprites inspired by classic shonen anime. The main hero should feel heroic and brave—bold stance, confident facial expressions, dynamic silhouettes—while the two enemy types must look downright sinister and menacing. I’ll provide a short gameplay clip, exact pixel resolution, and the frame counts I already mapped out so you can jump straight into production.

What I need from you is a cohesive asset pack that future collaborators can follow without second-guessing the style. Every sprite should share the same palette, line weight, and shading approach, and either arrive fully rigged for Spine/DragonBones or as clean frame-by-frame cycles that drop into my engine with no additional touch-ups.

Deliverables (all in transparent PNG plus layered PSD or rig file):
• Player character: idle, run, jump, attack, hurt, death
• Two enemy variants: patrol, attack, hurt, death per enemy
• Three pickup items that match the world’s color story
• Compact style guide outlining palette, line width, shading, naming conventions, and proportions

All animations must read clearly at the native resolution I’ll share, with loops trimmed and anchored to a consistent pivot. If rigs are supplied, each bone hierarchy should be logically named so I can tweak timings later.

Send a quick note on your process and the tools you prefer; once we align, I’ll hand over the reference pack and level mock-ups so you can start sketching thumbnails right away.
