First, kudos for asking for art at the right time: ie, when you have a playable game to show off.
A few things that need to be clarified before we can really help much:
You essentially said you want to start from the ground up on art to remove copyrighted stuff, which is good. You might want to be more specific on that, though. How many enemies, tiles, target resolution/style, etc. I think you have a really good chance of getting some help here, but those things will make it easier for people to get started.
As a side note, there are quite a few platformer-centric resources on OGA, which may at least serve as a basis for further expansion. I have them all collected here (tiles) opengameart.org/content/platformersidescroller-tiles-and-backgrounds here (characters/enemies) opengameart.org/content/platformersidescroller-characters-and-enemies and here (items/misc) http://opengameart.org/content/platformer-sidescroller-items-effects-misc
I'll send more detailed time info over email when the last animation and formatting are done, but suffice to say that currently we're totally good on the funding front.
So, as William has mentioned we're starting off with the spider. I figure that, since we have this thread here, I might as well post some preliminary gifs as the work gets done.
So, so far I've done two animations on the front view:
Thanks man! And here's the side bite:
Because the abdomen mostly doesn't rotate in frames it should be pretty easy to make variations on it, in patterning and in shape as well.

Alrighty, sounds good to me.
Now, the side view, and side walking

Edit: would you like multi-directional death, or just the front?
Funny you mention the spider. I just got the draft of back walking giff-ified (and, of course, the statifc back view as part of that)
Next biting, then side view (and, of course, as usual this and all images here are open to any comments/changes/whatever).
Welp, he's dead.

These are pretty neat! I like the designs, and ended up making some edited versions for kicks (CC0 as well, but not worth their own submission imo)
Great work on these!
For some reason it included a space at the end of the link. Weird. Should work now.
