Whenever CARDNAME deals combat damage to a player, you may have it deal that much damage to target creature that player controls.
1/1
You will have to reword the reminder text, because, the way it's worded now, you could block a creature with divide and a creature without. By the time the creatures with divide already count as blocked, it'll be too late for the keyword to do anything. What you want is something along the lines of
Divide (When you attack, defending player may only block either creatures with divide or creatures without divide.)

It is a blocking restriction that applies while the defending player is declaring blockers. If the defending player tries to block a creature with divide and a creature without divide, it is an illegal block and the game steps back and they re-choose their blocks.
The one part I wasn't sure how to word was for multiplayer attack-any, where you could be attacking two or more creatures. Something like:
Divide (If a player blocks this creature, that player can’t block creatures without divide.)
That requires the slightly wrong text of "a player blocks". Creatures block, not players, but maybe that is okay for reminder text.
The game steps back? That seems like an unnecessary requirement when you can just prevent the player from declaring blocks on both creatures with divide and creatures without divide in the first place. In any case, it's a cool idea for a keyworded mechanic.

I think it will be a nightmare to find pictures for such cards.
1) That's not really a custom designer's concern.
2) May I ask why? There's no reason why artwork for a creature with divide should depict anything but, say, a warrior or soldier in a particular pose or in particular armor like any other Magic art.
