Since my skills as an artist are kind of regrettable, I very much like this idea & would like to second it, or whatever. Doing something by degrees makes it a lot less daunting, & if I managed to muck something up, it would be my own copy only, (a feature difficult to replicate with physical artworks :-). Besides that, mucking something up is a lesson in itself, both to warn others & because someone else might be able to imagine a way to make the original idea work. I think dumping the results on a Wiki would be helpful, also, both to make fetching a starting-point relatively simple, & to keep a kind of history of what various people have tried. The history is also useful for both inspiration & correction.
