The problem is artists... They don't generally have the wiggle room a developer has, a handful of devs can take a sabbatical for 6 months easy, but the artists that can pump out assets are either in crazy high demand or need another job to eat. Even supporting another person living in a studio and eating ramen drastically changes the situation

It's actually something I've put thought into recently, i have a friend very passionate about artist exploitation but I haven't figured out the structure to make it work. Artists aren't rare, but they're very in demand... There's got to be some way to help them bind together to take chances like this
