I thought I commented that that was a good idea.
Ah, well, if I didn't, then let me take the time to say it now. I like that idea, and think you should go with it.
Though, perhaps the idea would take on more steam (ie momentum of interest) if you let out some more art work as you develop the concept. Sort of like Legend of Korra. Taking some time to finish, but steadily teasing us with little snippets and details along the way.
“…Judge not what a man has done, but judge what he could have done if he was a different bloke altogether. For art thou a leper? And a leper can changeth his spots…” --Rudy Wade, Misfits (Series 4, Episode 8)
