Well, he did talk about it several times and his answer was always the same. He wants that artist to basically work on his own and to fit into the team. That means he doesn't really want to supervise anybody nor does he really want to correct stuff once it's drawn. That means being able to work independently from DC and to be creative enough to actually produce something that's good and fitting is a basic requirement. Next to that it's of course true that it simply has to fit on a personal level since DC would, by default, entrust that artist with a part of the game's future.Maybe he doesnt want to spend the time looking for artists, maybe he doesnt like managing people, maybe he views it more like a pet project than a business I dont know DCs reasons for not finding other artists to add to the team. I do know that one reason which isnt justifiable is that he would be unable to find someone who can emulate his style.
He did show some applications on stream quite a while ago (MC fucking a random new designed girl in a forest) which looked pretty decent, yet DC spend about ~30 minutes pointing out things he didn't like and said that it's probably not good enough and that it would be too much of a hassle.
So it's probably more about being able to emulate the mindset of the game and to emulate DC's mind. I'd say it's a basic problem for this kind of development - either it stays small or it has to go big. Right now DC seems to have chosen the former and more money just won't change that.
