HELP PLEASE? PLATFORMER RPG (NEED CHARACTER SPRITES)

I'm working on a Platformer RPG and I need some sprites for my main character. I'm in the process of working on concepts for them but atm some character sprites would make development much easier. The game will have the ability to switch between characters, and for now I only need one character (if you'd be willing to give me the other character that would be fantastic, but I'm not asking for it). So one or the other of these characters would be great!

Delric Vonhaven - A young man who is one of the main protagonist of the story. He is enlisted as the protecter of Allia. He has short spiky hair that spikes up and back from his head, as well as green eyes. His attire is a white shirt with no sleeves, an iron pauldron on his right shoulder, linen wraps around his hands and forearm, and baggy jeans stuffed into leather knee high cuffed boots with steel toes. He will be able to use different weapons, but for now a simple 'claymore' would be fine. The animations needed would be:
Run
Jump,
Overhead attack
Uppercut attack,
Holding sword outward/vertical
Holding sword pointed towards sky
Death

Orthum Aubrey - The previous protecter of Allia, who still stays and defends her even once Delric takes over. He has long white hair tied in a ponytail that protrudes from the back of his head. He has one purple and one yellow eye. His attire is a black sleeveless trench coat, which is always open, no shirt, black pants with black leather boots, his right arm is bare, but his left arm has a demonic look. The skin is black and spiky, his fingers are clawed, and there are red glowing cracks all throughout. Animations needed would be:
Run
Jump
Uppercut Throw (spell casting)
Overhand throw (spell casting
Hold corrupt hand out (spell casting)
Backhand hit
Squat w/ corrupt hand on ground (transformation 1)
Roar (transformation 2)
Death

I know it's probably asking a lot, but I've been searching for months trying to either find sprites to edit or find someone willing to help. I have all the skill and requirments to finish the game's 1st level (UI, icons, etc.) I just need the actual character sprites. If someone would be willing to help, I would give you complete credit. Any help at all would be appreciated, even recommending me to somewhere with a bounty of platformer sprites that might have what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance! :)

P.S. Here is the style/quality I'm looking for (except completely side view, no 3/4):

But I could settle for this:

The game is being made in GameMaker Pro 8.1

And so far the sprite size grid is 40x40 for ground tiles, and the main character sprite is 51x44. But for I would prefer the sprite be around 60x60 so that a little bit more detail can be added.

The first example (the cloud strife sprite set) is the size/amount of detail/style that I want. The one below is just a placeholder.

Still could use some help. I really need the sprites done so that I can start moving on to working out the rest of the game. Currently I'm trying to get the 'home village' set up. Killer Wolf I believe is working on Orthum, but would anyone like to take a shot at Delric? He's the main character I need done, and Orthum is a character that joins the party later.

I'm trying best I can to get some concept art/artwork for these guys so I'm not just requesting based off a description. ^_^

Hmm. I might could knock a few of those out for you. ^_^ Is this game in GameMaker?
