You could also seek help or feedback from an experienced writer. Say, for instance, the head editor of Shrink Fan. Lol
Either way, the answer isn't to squash your creative impulse.

Pictures are easier said than done. And I have always had a problem asking for help.
Maybe it is not the answer. But it seems better than trying and failing.

You don't know what artist you're gonna get at the X Fan sites, and this kind-of pins you in.
The character will never look exactly the way you want, even if you draw the comic yourself. so just try to get close and leave the rest up to the artist. The stuff that is essential to the story must go into the description. If it's really explicit, try to find a picture of someone/something close you can provide to the artist.
Gotta run. May get back to this later.

It is one thing I have a problem with. I know what you say is true. Yet my mind demands it to look a certain way. I can compare it to a Rubik's cube, my mind can't conceive of destroying a finished side to solve the cube.
