To be honest, Wildfang95. I can't comment. What you've posted is really only the germ of an idea. It's certainly a good starting point, but as Belini quite rightly points out, artistic effort takes a lot of work, and I can't see anyone coming on board just on the strength of a single-paragraph synopsis. It's a bit like saying to a novelist "Here's an idea. Boy meets girl, she's an aristocrat and he's a stable boy. Knock out 200,000 words about that, and we'll split the byline."

My suggestion would be to extend your idea to an actual plot - exactly WHAT happens to this girl? WHY is she a split personality? How did she get to be that way? Is she a genuine multiple personality (ie are the modest girl and the exhibitionist aware of each other?) Give a few scenarios about her reactions when she turns back into the "modest" personality? And, perhaps most important, tell your potential partner just why your idea is such a killer one, and what sets it apart from anything the artist might come up with his/herself. One way to do it would be to draw the strip (or part of it) with stick figures and show this to anyone who agrees to consider joining forces with you.

I really don't subscribe to Belini's implication that you are some sort of parasite. I think you are a guy who has come up with what might be a good idea, but simply didn't know the correct form involved in seeing if it flies. I really hope that you can get something together, and that someone sees merit in it. Good scripts for strips are important (which is why pro comics credit the writer as well as the artist) and examples in our field are everywhere. Cartoon Joe is an artist par excellence, but how many would read his stuff without his hilarious plots and interesting backup characters (I'm in love with DaNeesha myself!)? Would Biker really have gained his present following without Jenny and Ashley being such interesting (and differing) characters? How many would have read Morphy's "Joanna C Mutchmore" to the end without the hilarious asides and brilliant dialogue?

I for one would be interested to see the strip if something works out. Best of luck, and hope this helps.

Thanks dude what you said really means something. Okay i won't be posting for a while so i can work on the story and let's see what i come up with:cool:

FYI
i've put this idea on hold for now as it didn't seem as fruitful as my other idea and i will come back to it later when i'm done with my other idea
