I hadn't thought of his artwork as the 'limit', more of a groundwork
to build upon.  If every scene had -completely- new art, there would
be no continuity from one scene to the next.  One way around that, I
suppose, would be to have a diddle session on a few sizes of the
characters prior to work on the scenes.  That way, the scene artist
would have a character that the viewer would recognize later on in the
movie.

I considered that option, too, but we would almost have to have the
plot finished before we started the movie.  Trying to get one
coherent, meaningful plot out of everyone's ideas would be a
monumental task... one I thought would be better waiting until we had
a success on our side to tackle.  Though, a completely original plot
and art to match would be seriously cool!  But how would we go about
it?
