It's not perfect, but one possible solution is to refer to collections. For instance there are fairly well maintained collections for side view (and here), isometric, as well as top down ones (usually separated by genre).
First of all, I can't help you make your art. But it may be helpful for others who would consider this to explain more what style you are looking for. Cartoony VS realistic? Pixel VS vector? When you say the graphics in the preview are bound to change a lot, it makes it hard to know what to aim for.
You may also want to explain what you want that is different from what is already available on OGA. For instance, here are 2 collections of top down art.
Especially because it sounds like you are not offering to pay for this work, you may want to consider that these assets are already available. If you're not satisfied with any of them, you could at least use that as a starting point to help explain what exactly you're looking for.
Haha, I LOVE the cloven hoof peace sign in the preview! Great work!
@snabicsh - You can definitely use it, since it is licensed as CC0, but it's still cool that you're asking. However, you may want to ask @surt instead, since he did the original (also CC0) which looks like what yours is based off of. Either way, AWESOME work! Perfect for a video game music album cover!
Awesome! My high score was 18... and, no, I don't feel the need to say how many tries it took me to get past the first baddie... Thanks for the credit/link, and congratulations on your project!

Wow, really great! You may want to add "ANIMATED" to your list of tags to help people who are just looking for animated characters.
These look great!
Nice!
Whenever this happens with me, I just zoom in on the page.
At least in Chrome and Firefox you can zoom in by holding "ctrl + mouse-scroll-up" or "ctrl + =", and zoom out also with mouse wheel or "ctrl + -".
"ctrl+0" automatically resets to regular zoom.
It does a bilinear filter (I think) on zooming in so pixelart can become fuzzy, but that doesn't bother me too much.
Agreed - this is fabulous!

These are really nice, and very soothing! Thanks for sharing!
