Unto the Waters (RPGMaker, Non-combat)

Hi! I'm new to the whole.. posting on boards thing, but I poked around here the other day because I just got into RPGmaker, and I saw some pretty cool things that people have done. I've been a bit of a writer in my past, and I wanted to try my hand at making something that followed along with one of my short stories.

The original text (which is explicit in nature) can be found Here, Here, and Here. They're all relatively long, and contain a mix of sex, violence, and at times comedy.
For the most part, it's a fictional story surrounding Ancient Egypt.

Anyway, I'm not really an artist at all, but I'm trying to poke around making some of my own sprites for this, and I'm hoping I actually find the motivation to make this a decently long and entertaining journey. If any of you guys are interested enough to help me, that'd be cool too.
No promises on if this will ever actually exist or not, but I'd really like to try.

In terms of the project's scope, I hope to have proper sprites and headshots of the characters involved, as well as fully drawn scenes during various parts of the story.
However, I lack artistic skill and I also lack funds, so if anyone is willing to participate and provide their artistic skills, that'd be appreciated as well.

So far I have only gotten a little bit done, but I've made some (makeshift) sprites for three of the main characters, and I've drawn some (miserable, hopefully placeholder) art for one of the scenes.

So if anyone is interested in helping, that'd be cool, but if not I'm going to keep trying to forge on with my own abilities.

Would you mind posting a summary of it? Doesn't have to explain any major spoilers, but it's kind of hard to read through long stories often times.
PS: No, I'm not an artist, I just wanna know more than "It's in Egypt" but am too lazy to give it a good read.

(That took so long to log in.)

Uh.

Okay, summary.

I can do that.

Basically, it's a third person perspective of life in a temple to Anubis, the god of the damned. The story follows his daily life. I sort of let it behave as though they were royalty, since in that day and age, the Pharaoh was considered a demi-god, and the peoples' only actual link to the divines, and so I took some of the ways of the Pharaohs and put them into effect in my story. For example; it was common for a Pharaoh to breed into his bloodline; in my story, Anubis marries his (Fictional) daughter, and the couple perform various tasks regarding the welfare of the nation and it's people, as a war looms in the not-so-distant future.

The story contains a variety of sex, and violence, and comedy, as well as some betrayal and other such elements.

Uh.. I'm kind of really spent today, I guess if you need more information it might be easier to ask specifics.

Sorry. Looong day.
