Creating an animated cartoon

I will be commissioned to design the characters and world for an animated cartoon in the style of Peppy Pig (warm and simplified graphics in 2D) and later create the animation based on the script I send. Estimated duration of one episode is 5-6 minutes.

I would preferably choose 2-3 contractors based on their existing portfolio for a test, paid assignment, which would consist of creating one or two characters in a given scene along with adding simplified animation. For example: a child watching a cow as it plucks and chews the grass in a pasture, or just the cow itself in a given activity.

Ultimately, I would choose one person whose work I would like the most and would be happy to collaborate for a few dozen episodes of course, along with the creation of scenery and characters.

When submitting bids, please quote the total rate for the test assignment and in addition, please include in the description what is the cost of creating a single character and making a 5-6 minute animation for the target assignment.
