(Just out of curiosity, what kind of format should the animation be saved as? Or is it just pics that are drawn and you stick together in an animation? And what kind of creature for a boss and enemies do you need? Any kind? Even if it's/they're made up? And what should they be able to do? Just walk and hit?)

I'd like .gif if possible, if not, I could just convert it. As for what the enemys can do and what they are, just be creative and make it original (and maybe a few turtles if you run out of ideas (and not too many giant robots)). I'll make their moves based on the animations I have available, so if you give me a punching animation, the enemy will punch. And if the animation is confusing ("what the heck is this guy doing???"), just tell me what it's supposed to do in the message.
And piccolo, you wanted to know how to make animations. It's pretty easy. If you want to do it on a computer find a free program for animation making, or use common ones like Animation Shop or Microsoft Gif Animator. Draw a picture, then draw one a little bit different, and keep doing this until it looks like the picture is moving when you run through the animations. If you want to save some work, just copy the image and redraw parts you need. If your still confused, these are the frames of an animation of Rif from ITE:
This is the actual animation:

If you can't figure out how to use an animation making prog, just send me the frames and I'll put them together. Also, using construction lines helps a lot in hand-drawen animation, since it keeps your proportions from changing. Something else you may want to try is using tracing paper, and after drawing one picture, put the tracing paper over the first one and use it as a guide for the second.
And remember, I might not use ALL the animations, but probably. What I mean by that is if someone draws a stick figure they shouldn't say "If you don't put this in, I'll become depressed".
