...hi...
I definitely like the style and animations you made so far, I am big fan of pixel art, but the resolution is too small for this age. I am pretty busy on other game, but what I can do for you guys is to make some BG from your concepts in 3d, with cartoonist look, something like you could see on my blog (MI:SE) and then painters will repaint it digitally to make it look like cartoon paintings. I love Bill Tiller's painted BG, I was working on his Vampire Story 2, but you need somebody very good to make it look like that. 3d version is gonna help you with prespective, lights etc.. and can be repainted later to make it richer and more detailed. I wouldn't make any 3d characters, I dont like that. You should paint them all in PS as MI:SE was made, just in larger resolution with more details. Of course, It takes some time, but the result will be much better. The other thing is, if you look at Indiana Jones - FOY, it has been in process forever! and its not done yet, this is because the managing people is very bad. They will give you a work, and never contact you anymore. They will not send you email like: How far are you with your BG? How is it going? not at all.. then people wont work.
