what about collective creations, when more than one person creates the same artwork? this should be ok, right?
I don't really see any issues here.
As long as the artwork is original and is composed or conceptualize by you and your colleagues -- that's fine. However, you will be the one responsible distributing the rewards among your friends since they are involved who put an effort in making the artwork materialize.
Just don't commit plagiarism/artwork stealing -- there is nothing to worry about. Goodluck.
