I do agree with those who already responded to you, the best you can do is posting your story on forums or communities dedicated to drawing, and hoping for people to be interested in it. However busy artists are busy, so generally it's very, very welcome if you provide at least :
- the length of your project. A lot of people seem to forget it, but think of the poor artist who's willing to give it a shot, but doesn't know if he will spend two months, or five years of his life on the project, whereas he most likely also has characters and stories of his own. Generally the simple fact that he doesn't know that factor unmotivates him to even answer to the topic, assuming it will simply be too long.
- main lines of your story, and characters of course. I guess it's the same for everyone, writers and people who draw, but what keeps you working on a project is your attachment to those things, isn't it? If the artist doesn't feel any vibes with them, then it'd be difficult to work on the project.
- a sample of script of the scenario. Just to see how it will be to deal with the story on a practical basis.
- and uh, well, what kind of art style you're looking for, I guess.
I unfortunately don't have any links to forums or communities to give you, because I am french and hang around french forums. But generally the forums dedicated to drawing already have an "announce", or, in the best case "Artists looking for writers" and "Writers looking for artists" sections/topics.
But even though, it will be a hard quest, because the artist kind is a busy kind.
But you wouldn't get laughed at ; such things are common, so common maybe that they now remain unnoticed for the most part by the artists.
Actually I would be interested in your project myself. For a year now I've been longing to draw a great story as a webcomic. I do have characters of my own, and a beginning of story in my head, but I don't feel ready to develop it yet. Lately, instead of drawing my own stories, I've asked people to do them for me, because I don't appreciate what I can come up with myself.
The problem is - I already have three projects planned. Short ones, that is, but I think I'd be finished around Christmas in the best case (and well I have exams this year) . And anyway, I'm rather picky about my free time, and god knows I won't have much next year.
And I'm not one of those fantastic artists around. And I don't know about your story either :D (Because well, I can't appreciate every kind of stories =D; ... Worse it is when it comes to drawing them)
So yes, I think it would be unreasonable for me to actually say I could do it, because even though I can be very motivated, but time is here and well, I don't want to accept to then drop it because of lack of time (except if it's a short story, then I could most likely accept, but I don't know about that)
But maybe I could at least... I don't know, making a few pages when I have free time (which will not come so soon, but well), it could do you some advertisement if I were to post them on several artist communities (and it could act out as a kind of test). That's just an idea, though! But you've got to advertise and let it know if you actually want your story to be drawn one day.
And don't be afraid to say aloud to your friends that you actually want it drawn and do not plan to write it. It's so painful not being honest. And who knows, maybe those friends will look frantically for an artist for you? :D
