All right guys, pretty much all of you have agreed unanimously that I'm a shit artist. I'm working every day to improve and try to get better, but in the mean time, I'd like to try my hand at just writing a comic, rather than drawing it under the false impression I'm a good artist, for once. That being said, I'm looking for someone who has professional-quality work, can meet deadlines and work consistently, and is willing to take some chances.
I have around 20 fully fleshed-out concepts for different comics, varying widely in genre, all of them having a concise beginning, middle, and end, ranging from graphic novels, one-shots, to on-going or limited series'. I'm very easy to work with, I'd like to consider myself a better writer than artist, I always take an artist's input into consideration, and hope that there'll be someone here who's talented and has a desire -as well as I do- to make some good comics, rather than the usuals who frequent the topics I make, and simply mock and degrade me.
Yes, this is a non-profit gig, as of now. If one or more of you would like to pair up with me, we create a comic we deem worthy of submitting to publishers, and if the unlikely outcome of us getting any sort of profit occurs, everything will be split 50-50 between us.
If there's anyone here interested, please inquire further as to what sort of ideas I have, etc. My only request is that if you're not interested, don't be a dick, don't needlessly be an asshole and rip me to shreds. Thank you.

Think pre-post, is this a question? am I posting art? or is this just a doodle?
Then take this knowledge collected from the previous questions and apply your text to the appropriate thread.
or just read the rules, either way
1. Posting my own art.
2. Using what I guess is a universally shitty concept as an example.
3. People seemed to think I sounded demanding or something last time.
Finding a half-decent artist that's even semi-reliable is harder than Michael Jackson on a school bus. I've exhausted practically every option I can think of to find one, and I figured it might be worth one more shot to try again here. If this topic doesn't belong in this forum, sorry.

What say you, Zeph?

Go to the writer's forum and show off your work. You'll get input. It may come slowly.
And even if you don't, there are other communities that will be more helpful.
I will say, however, that I did read your idea about Tyler and I find it very cliche. But that's just my personal opinion. I often dislike the story of the young adolescent MALE hero of unknown origins living in terrible conditions oft to discover his unknown potential (with the exception of Luke Skywalker because Luke Skywalker's dorkiness balanced it out)
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, an organization of assassins alike in principle to the Illuminati has existed. Born in China, the organization goes by the moniker TAO, which translated into English, means “the wayâ€. From those historic days onward, TAO and its legion of deadly followers have caused and taken part in deaths that have forever changed the destiny of humanity as we know it. But events such as power struggles, internal fighting, and a difference of moral beliefs eventually caused TAO to disband, breaking off into five smaller organizations: SIN, SORROW, SALVATION, HOPE, and THE WAY (being the last remnants of the original TAO itself), each organization rooting itself in a different country and performing assassinations both in secret for their country’s respective government, and for their own personal gain.
SIN is the organization we shall focus upon for most of our story. In the wake of TAO’s separation, its former lieutenants who formed the five assassin groups took on the names of their own organization. Thus, SIN is led by a man known simply as SIN. A spry man approaching old age, he is a father figure to those who swear allegiance to him. He instructs his “students†to view the organization SIN as if it were a family, each assassin being an in-name brother and sister to one another, creating an iron-clad bond of camaraderie, friendship, and dedication to their work. They are the best of the best. Their exploits are the stuff of legend.
The members of SIN come from all around the world. No two members are approached to join in the same way. Some are recruited by SIN himself through college applications more akin to in-depth background checks, some fall into the job through various activities such as military excursions in which they garner SIN’s attention, infamous acts of terrorism, death row inmates abducted from their falsified executions, or even taken in as strays with no homes and trained to be ruthless killing machines.
Initiation into SIN consists of first being “killed†by SIN himself, which entails being shot in a non-vital area with his Colt Single Action Army, the placing of an empty grave in the soon-to-be assassin’s hometown, erasing of all records of that person’s existence, and the creation of their new identity, being their middle name, and a number assigned by SIN.
However, the inevitable conflict arises when Vale and Yurika –two-thirds of SIN’s elites, the Trilogy of Death- break three of SIN’s cardinal rules. Once you’re in, you’re in for life. Betrayal of the family is punishable by death. And no member of SIN can fall in love with another.
On one fateful night that will forever send ripples through the futures of every single member of the progeny of TAO, Vale and Yurika attempt to run away together and leave their lives of contract killing behind. But in steps Jericho, Yurika’s older brother (the only member of SIN to actually be blood-related to another), who executes his sister for breaking SIN’s rules. After an emotional and harrowing battle, Jericho wounds Vale to the point of near death, putting him in a coma for three long years.
After awakening in the estate of the Ferrari Mafia family and subsequently being tortured for information which he does not remember, Vale is rescued by a former agent of SORROW, codenamed Rufus. An Irish fellow with a strong wit and a desire to bring SIN down, he and Vale form an alliance in order to hunt down Jericho and attain sweet vengeance, regain Vale’s lost memory, and systematically destroy SIN once and for all. But what the duo doesn’t know is that the long-coming war between the five assassin families is finally in sight. With hundreds of lives in the balance, and the time drawing shorter to choose sides, Vale must uncover the secrets behind TAO’s inception, SIN’s past, his ultimate purpose in life, and decide whether he is to become the hero of this tale, or just another nameless number.

If your truly serious about this, then the first thing you would do is narrow down your 20-something list of rushed/clichéd concepts and find yourself one or two that have some real potential. Then focus your mind and energy on one and just get to work. Finally, I would advise you quit wasting time on message boards naively attempting to arrange partnerships with artist, if anything due to the lack of any tangible credentials stemming mainly from your part.
I know its a bitch to hear, but if you really want this done, then the best thing is to just man up and get it done yourself. I too want get a graphic novel out there, so I know where your coming from, but I'm also sketching about five hours a day and practice incessantly on photoshop because I dont want to wait or rely on others to get my dream realized. Seriously, do what the other posters have said and just bust your ass and practice. (It works, trust me)
