Why not? It is a group project, after all ;)

Some artists I'd recommend:

The reason I picked them out of the other RWBY artists is that so far, they're the only ones that have been doing so really, really, adorable comic strips, and seem to have the ability to really make a manga.

Still, I don't think a single artist is enough for a project of this magnitude: real life manga artists have ultra-hectic lives for a reason (drawing takes time), and from what I've seen, each of these artists aren't really professionals; they just do this stuff for fun, and don't really have the time to devote to a full time manga. They already spend a huge amount of time on their own stuff, so asking them to further devote their time on this might be asking a bit much. The most effective course of action, I believe, would be to recruit a large pool of skilled artists who already have experience doing strips (like the ones above) and having a rotation schedule, with a new strip coming out per month.

Of course, you'd still have to get their permission first, and not barge into their lives out-of-the-blue, in a sudden abrupt fashion. Perhaps explain what is going on first with an expository post on their profile?

Still, I think we should have everything planned out first before we contact any artists. Nothing turns off a potential investor more than a non-existent plan.

Some questions that would have to be addressed before proceeding would be: update schedule, storyline, artist availability, adult content, etc.

Still, this is shaping up to be something awesome!
