Guys! Do you want me to do anything with this?

So the artist who I passed off a special scene to got back to me. It looks like this:

Hmm... So as the title of the post says: you guys want me to do anything with this? Right now it's still missing some parts. I'm not sure what to make of it. It's still being done. I'm not terribly excited, but I gave the artist a pretty penny anyway - a tip if you will - for the great effort of putting it together. It's almost 6 weeks since I passed off the job.
My gut says, it took too long, and the art isn't grade A art for what I spent for it.
During that time, while I was programming the menu system and talking to several other artists, I did put some time and thought where I needed help with, and I've concluded that I only need assistance in preparing a good sketch and line work. That's it. Anything more than that and my risk of wasting resources only ramps up higher.
It takes me about 1-3 days to do the lineart since I let it simmer first and see if my eyes are playing tricks on me when it comes to body proportions and stuff. It's a bigger part of production - and bottleneck - for me, so If I can find an artist who can assist with this, I think... I'd go for that. There are two places where I'm trying to find some assistance in:
1.) Line
2.) Shading/Detailing
I've also come to realize that not a lot of artists can or want to shade and detail in the files I prepare. These are separated into parts and since they're not advertising themselves as animators (or at least this is usually the case), they're probably scratching their heads what to do with overlapping areas of the artwork.

I think I can do a rough quickie of it, like do it as-is-where-is (otherwise it'd eat up time to fix up). With the new artists I'm looking at, this one's essentially hmm.. scrapped :P.
