1/ As every newbie, I though the price to make 2d tilemaps/tileset/ Sprites is cheap, and finally discovered that it actually very expensive.
Ex: In Beat Em Up game. A player's character with some standard motions ( go, jump, attack, get hit, die), the artist actually have to draw every frame of these motions. And the work actually huge like this:
So, if we want to made a character ( object?) with too many motions, is it cheaper if we recruit the artist to made 3d model of that object, and use that 3d model to creat as many 2.5d animations as we want???
2/ Some strange question: How much we have to pay for the artist to make gameplay menu like this ( menu bar, text and icon. Not include icon's images, Character's avatar and Character's card)???
I tried with itch.to and gamevmarket already, almost found nothing.
Now I'm finding in deviantart. Hope will have some artists are selling their sprites.
-----------------
While I certaintly have to recruit a artist to creat custom enemies' boss, I don't really care about other enemies' sprites. That I why I want so save as much money as I can, by find someone who's selling them.
Sometimes, I wonder if some indie studios accept to sell their old games' sprite with cheaper price?

Thank you very much for teaching me. ^^'
I now got the same trouble too.
thank you for the advice again.
As I said above, soon or late, I will recruit the artist for these custom boss in game.
Before of that, I try to find any source for the lesser important elements in game.
If I really PM the artist, I want to send PM when I'm total ready. It is so rude when:
" Me: Hello, can you made some normal enemies' animation for me? Tell me your price?
Him: OK. 500$ - 1000$ for every animation.
Me: Oh God, the price out of my imagination. Please wait for me several months. I need to save more money and will PM you later."
^^"
Everyone is busy. I don't want to cause more trouble for them.
