Need a playable Dwarf

In my upcoming project, I'm going to need a Dwarf playable character.
I wrote:Sorry to bump this, but I've got some new information. First, I've found some graphics that I like, but 1) I don't know how to make up the missing animations that I'd need for SMBX and 2) There's more forms I would like to add. I know it's not much to go off, but it should give an idea of the graphic style I want the player character to follow. Found here.
I have also rethought the various abilities. Unless someone else wishes to help I should be able to work out the coding myself, however extra sprites will be required for things like attacking animations.
Spoiler: show
Small form: Holding pickaxe, no helmet. Extra frames: Sideways attack animation.
Big form: Also with pickaxe, Helmet on. Extra frames: Sideways double swipe. Spin attack, ground pound (swinging pickaxe down to floor).
Fire form: Holding hammer. Extra frames: Sideways attack, holding above head (charging an attack), slam into ground, similar ground-pound style frames.
Leaf form: Holding flail. Extra frames: Sideways double swipe, ground/air spin attack (can be same frames). Aerial twirl (again, could use spin attack frames)
Ice form: Ice staff. Extra frames: Freeze attack (extra effects/particles could be used). Charging animation & zone freeze. Blue/white wizard-type robes.
Hammer form: Axe (like source sprites). Extra frames: Triple slash attack, throwing animation*
*May require two powerup states: One for holding axe, one unarmed for when axe is currently being thrown. Preferred but not necessary.
Will replace Toad (since I'm going to be scripting anyway and he's supposedly the easiest to work with. Axe functions similar to his boomerang anyway.)

I think it was a joke. Basically he is saying you should have put that question in a Google search rather than a forum post.

Here's a somewhat suggestion: Have you have ideas of using the dwarf design from Golden Axe and recreate it in smbx style? :idea:

Wow, haven't been on the wiki in over 5 months now. Sorry to bring this up from the deepest, darkest depths of Page Four.

Thanks for that, I'll look at the sprites and if I like them, it should give me the starting point I need to make it. Of course, if someone else could do it that would be brilliant but I don't just want to dump all the work onto someone else lol.
