Hello. I am currently working on an action dungeon crawler titled "Refractored Depths". Think Zelda 1 but with only dungeons and they are all randomly generated. You traverse through 20 floors in a randomly generated dungeon to retrieve a mirror. Occassionally there will be a boss in-between floors. The game has permadeath, but unlike most roguelikes, you have lives and only lose your savefile when you run out.

I am almost done with the game, but I am still in the need for a sprite for the main character. Right now, I'm using the male avatar sprite from BS Zelda as a placeholder as it's probably the closest to the preferred artstyle I want, and I don't see any sprites on here that resemble that.

Basically what I want for the sprite is:

• A sprite in the style of Zelda 1 (16x16, holding a shield at all times, etc.), but unlike Zelda 1 it should have an outline.
• Flat colors with no gradiants, to keep it consistent with all the other original sprites.
• 3 frames of walking animation for each direction. (4 directions total)
• An attack frame for each direction.
• Two variants: one with a smaller shield and one with a larger shield.
• I'll give you freedom to design the character however you want, but the character is a male and human.
• Release it under the CC0.

Thanks in advanced.
