Help Wanted ($500-1000 job): respriting legacy (child) Maria

Just like the title of the thread says: I am looking for someone to re-sprite child Maria from Rondo of Blood. This is a paid position, and an easy $500-$1000 commission. With the payments being done in US dollars via Paypal per animation completed. An incentive is offered as well for the full sheet being completed. Her original rondo sheet can be found here: www.spriters-resource.com/turbografx_16/cvrob/sheet/10342/

GOAL:

• To update her sprites and expand her sprite set slightly
• To expand the colors used on her sprite sheet (for Maria herself) from 16 to between 24-32
• This commission should only take 2-3 months to complete at most as it is between 50-100 sprites (in 2 months that is literally drawing 1.5 sprites a day, assuming 90 sprites are needed).

I am looking to do exactly what was done with Rondo Richter, as seen in the image below. Overall, this is a small task compared to Alucard's 800 sprites, but I do need someone who can meet my listed deadline.


I am primarily focused on Maria herself. Yes, I will need new icons for her sub-weapons, as well as some new sprites/effects for her attacks themselves. But those can come after IF the artist is interested (and has the skill to do them) and will be considered extra.

Animations needed:

Idle
Praying (prologue animation)
ChargeUpMP
Walking
Dashing
Crouching/Standing Up
Jumping/Falling
Double Jumping
Sliding
Backstepping (a tumble similar to her old tumbling forward move could be used for this. That moves is actually the basis for Shanoa's backstep)
Stand Attack
Crouch Attack
Aerial Attack
Walking Attack
Pain Animations (she currently has 1 standing one, 1 crouching and 1 aerial for an attack from the front. I would like to 1 of each more for back attacks)
Electrocuted versions of pain Animations
Air Rush
High Jump
Float
Quick drop (stomp)
Guardian Knuckle
Ground Crash
Aerial Crash
Death

Anyone who wants to apply for this position should PM me with only ONE of the sprites listed on her rondo sheet redone, which I linked to above. The first idle one will do fine (it is on the upper left of the sheet). This is so that I can see your level of spriting skill. Creativity and vision are a big part of this, so I will go by the results presented to me when making my decision. If you already have a portfolio full of previous sprite works you can also show me that.

Applicants: DO NOT reply to the thread here. And like any job application, only applicants who follow the requested directions will be considered for the position.

If you cannot sprite, and want to help you CAN do so: by posting a link to this thread on any spriting forums that you know of. I am also open to suggestions on good ones as well where this thread could get more exposure!
