Lulu: 10 Pages of a Work in Progress

As some of you know, I'm an indie cartoonist, and some time back I posted an autobio story, "Martha," which was my final story in my 4-year exploration of the smut genre. Having gotten tired of that, I have been working this year on a long-planned adaptation of Frank Wedekind's LULU plays(the other plan was WOYZECK, but, uh, a bit too heavy for me at this time), "Erdgeist" and "Pandora's Box." The latter of which is best known as a silent Louise Brooks vehicle. I love Brooks, but that's been done, and besides, it was hardly a definitive adaptation. Mine isn't either but I'm trying to be at least faithful to its spirit. But mine is set in the modern era, and I am being a bit loose with the rather archaic PD translation I'm working with.
In any event, I though this might be a good venue to show some of it so far, as you folks have taste, and I'm certainly not putting it on my site before shopping it around. So, here's ten pages of it. Most of these lack the greys I'm going to add later(more or less as you see in the first two), so please keep that in mind. Without further comment, here you go.










Mods: this is my own work under my own copyright, so hopefully I can post as much as I like.

I must say, I like this. I was a bit critical of the pages you were thinking of submitting to Marvel earlier, but here it's just the opposite. I like how the storytelling is handled, the expressiveness and suitability of each character's look, even though they're not strictly realistic. I believe your style suits this sort of storytelling much more than superhero work, to be perfectly honest, where expressiveness and attention to detail take priority over sharp realism and broad action.

There's so much nice character detail going on here, in how the bald fellow acts, and the body language of the artist. Keep it up, you've got some real strengths here.
