Collaborative Comic Idea

[outcast]

I'm not sure if this sure go here in the fanfic section or the fanart. Anyway, I have an idea for an Avatar fancomic but there's some problems 1) I can't draw and 2) even if I could it would be a big project for one person. So I thought that it would be fun to get other avatards in on it.

The Idea:

The comic would follow the story of an Avatar before Aang. Roughly six to ten thousand years before (not sure about the timeline yet). Like the show we all love, it would be split into three books but how many chapters each has is up for grabs.

Summary:

After Avatar Truc (Earth) died, monsterous beasts from the Spirit World began attacking. Fourteen years later the spirit monsters attack a small Sun Warrior village where a young girl named Kazu lives; the attack causes the Avatar State to prematurely awaken in her. Soon after she begins her journey she finds out that the line between the Spirit and Mortal Worlds are blurring so much that by the next Summer Solstice they will collide, which will destory everything.

Differences:

As I mentioned in the summary, the Sun Warriors are current fire culture. Also there's only one Water Tribe, and instead of the Earth Kingdom it's the Earth Empire due to it being under the full rule of one person. The only nation that hasn't really changed is the Air Nomads.

Characters:

I've got bios for the main and some supporting characters that I will post later (have to edit spoilery stuff). Character designs are up to whoever wants the job(though there are some things I will insist on). The two main main characters are Kazu the Avatar, and her airbending friend Yuuto.

Needed:

Artist(s), and I'd like atleast one other writer. There's a lot of things about plotlines yet to be decided, so ideas are welcome. If you're interested please let me know.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to inform that an artist is still needed to get the project going. So if there's anyone interested please let me know.

You could have just edited your post.

How long are you thinking of making the comic? What style of comic as well (manga/american?). I might be interested depending on how long you want to make it.

I am working on another comic myself, you can check it out to see my style.

If you're having any trouble finding a partner (the supply and demand of artists:writers indicates this is pretty likely), maybe try writing up a script/draft of the comic. If it's good you'll have an easier time getting someone to work with than if the quality of the work they'll be dealing with is an unquantifiable unknown.
