What kind of artwork do I need for this side scrolling game?

I'm creating a Cocos2d/Box2d side scrolling game for the iPhone/iPad and need a hero character but thought I would first find out what kind of art I need and whether or not I can do it myself using Opengameart models?

The game concept is based upon archeology, so an Indiana Jones type character would suit it.  I also like the style of Devil Dark: the Fallen Kingdom.

The character needs to walk, dig, climb a ladder, use a pick axe and show some basic expressions.  He doesn't have to be spectacular because his actions are secondary to the rest of the game (i.e., the stuff he finds on a archeological dig site).  He may occasionally bump into a creature he has to fight but again it doesn't have to be spectacular.  He will also need a shovel and pickaxe.

I can use Cocos2d actions and SpriteHelper to do the animations. 

Any suggestions/recommendations are much appreciated.

Also, are there any restrictions to using Opengameart for a commercial project?

Sidescrolling?  But archaeologists work on grids!  And you forgot drink.  Archaeologists walk, dig, and drink.  Traditional attire is jeans, a tshirt, and hiking boots.  Plus I'm wicked looking forward to the lab section - you should make sure that most of the items in the game are inconsequential until you run statistical analysis.  Get art for a van and shaker screens.

I think I'm only half-joking.

More serious:  Check out the site's FAQ, http://opengameart.org/content/faq under the header, "I'm a commercial (closed-source) game developer. Can I use this art?"

"It depends on the license(s) the art is released under. Technically all of the art on this site is legal for use in commercial projects -- however, some of the licenses require you to distribute the source code of your entire project for free, and allow others to distribute the source for free as well."
