Mega man like project needs pixel art
Hello. I am the developer of Rockbot, a free game inspirated in classic Megaman with some new features. The project code is open-source and counts with an editor so people can create their own games or expand over the default one.
One problem I need help with, is that I want to get rid of all copyrighted material and create art from the ground; but I am a software engeneer, not an artist, thus creating pixel art is not an easy task for me.
I want to ask you to join my cause and take a bit of your time to take a look and maybe help me out in this project or allowing me to use your previous work on it.

Hello,
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 take a closer look into the art here. Most it is a bit hard to use due to color number (my game uses a small number similar to the NES console).
Here is a list of the most important art that I need to be remade/redraw:
