Writer looking for an artist/creative team to help a project

Here is my idea for a western comic.

It's set in Civil War era upstate South Carolina. It revolves around a man fighting for the Confederacy.

First scene: He's sitting around a campfire. He's in his mid 40s staring into the fire while the men around him are laughing after a victory. He just received a letter informing him that his daughter back home, age 10, just died. Unable to return home, he is torn between fighting a war he halfway believes in (now that battle has made him understand the horrors of war, he doesn't see where the necessity is for fighting against his fellow Americans), and returning to his grieving wife in upstate South Carolina. The story will be very character driven and revolve mainly around this Middle Aged man and his warring mind (dichotomy between warring outside and warring self). To add to this "warring self," maybe have his 20 year old son fighting for the Union.

I like the idea of having the art convey themes of internal conflict mirroring external conflict.

Any talented artist that wants to help out by possibly sketching this first campfire scene would be awesome! Let's make this happen!

This sounds like a fairly neat idea, but then again, I can't get enough of Civil War stories.

I wish you the best of luck
