Hi Peter,
I am an animator creating animations for childrens books. (I am working with an illustrator.) We generally do animations for children and we love it.
I have come across your project here and got interested. What I have to do for you is to draw the characters and the backgrounds again for animation, more colorfully. My illustrator has a very nice style, which can make your animation very lovely. In this case I have to pay him either and it is included in the bid I offered you.
I definetely want to show you a few examples of our works. I am attaching a few screenshots from our latest work. They are animations of english teaching book for nursery school level.
Best Regards,
Emre
