Not what you want but what I think you need...
Much like you I also had (have) stories ideas that I thought were awesome and could be nothing but successful. And so, when I decided to start writing them, I also tried to look for an artist to draw for me and share whatever we will make fifty fifty.
Now, if you plan to pay right from the get to go to the artist that will draw for you, then you can stop reading here and continue to search. I'm sure you will find many artist who are looking for a job with fair salary.
So you plan to let your artist profit in some other way. Well, in this case, unless you don't have a friend who is open to collaborate with you, there are only two paths that I can see for you.
The first path is instead of looking up for an artist, look for artists' threads who seek writers to collaborate with them. Face it, there are more people who write and draw and even artist have their own ideas. Unless you have a promising background, now one will want to bet his precious time on you.
The second path is actually quite simple. That is, do what I'm doing. Have your own site. Register to wordpress or buy your own domain and host and publish chapters of your story.
This path starts slow and has even less guarantees than publishing your work in the form of a comic, but you can see in my site (lonahora.com) that if you dedicate yourself, things will pick up.
I don't think that you've got me quite right.
Okay, okay, first I think I have said clearly that this whole project thing is For Fun.
In other words creating art for the sake of creating art. Secondly, I've clearly stated that I do not expect people to cooperate precisely because of these reasons. If anything, I am using this opportunity to motivate myself to be serious and actually create a finished product, while at the same time having the small chance of someone who actually appreciates art and not money come and join me.
So basically what I need is help in creating my story, simply because having two heads instead of one will always be good even if that person has very little experience. Now, of course if someone does join me I will listen to their ideas and combine them with mine so that both sides get to express their creativity. So don't bother telling me that no one cares, cause, I know that. But nevertheless, any help from those who do would be very much appreciated.
