There was a comic, and gosh I don't recall the title of it, but it has several different authors where they do a story of their own characters, but all the characters are set in the same world. Eventually, the characters meet each other and there is a big epic storyline.
And I'd like to do something like that!
Like say, we got four authors. And each author does a story that eventually ends up with them having one piece of a four piece "key" to discover an ancient city, which is supposed to house an epic treasure.
The first chapter would be, like, Author One does ten pages of his/her own characters, then Author Two, and so on. A chance to really develop the characters on their own, and have their own stories, along with the hidden ancient city keys.
The characters could be searching for the keys, or just randomly stumble upon a key and wonder what it is, it could be something that they were given to by their deceased family person, or they could have it and think it is something else entirely. If your character was a thief, then it could be that they're trying to steal this statue that's worth a lot of money. Then they get it, it gets broken open and they key is inside. Or something.
BUT YES.
Your character can be anything (human, athropomorphic, an actual animal - actual animals limited to real animals, but you could be an anthro-dragon or something if you wanted), with any job (student, space pirate, chef, sailor, whatever). More than one character, within reason.
And we can put it together as a book, if you'd like

RIGHT. SO.
If you're interested, post examples of your art

I think it would be best not to have a lot of us, maybe only like 4 or 5.
