Ohhh! This is interesting... but what is Lola about?

Lola & the 11 Secrets follows the journey of a young girl trying to come to peace with a tragedy in her life. As Lola struggles to let go of her sadness, she seeks solitude in the forest and in a mysterious cemetery. Searching for answers to her questions, she discovers a portal to a strange and beautiful world. A fascinatingly original and beautiful world awaits Lola. A place full of secrets, strange new friends and bitterly twisted enemies. Lola must now overcome her past, face her fears, and find her answers or she will perish.

In the darkness she continues to play.

She pretends to haunt.

She wishes she could stay.@sora_thekey: Hope this answers your question!

@nszerdy: Gah! it sounds so good, yet it doesn't answer my question... What is it about?? :P

@sora_thekey: The story is about Lola's journey to overcome her fears and the loss of her father. I can't give away much more.

@nszerdy: Hmmm... Alice in Wonderland type story about a girl who just lost her dad. I'm in!

This is pretty awesome, pinning it for other artists to check out.

@Shatterstar: Great! Thank you!

@sora_thekey: : )

@nszerdy: This looks and sounds really interesting. Where can you get copies of the book?

@feebadger: It's being edited right now--It is done as far as art goes--it's just being looked over for misspelled words and punctuation and after I add a few more pieces of art into the back section of the gallery-(hence this blog post)-then I'm going to send it to print and it will be available on LolaEleven.com. It's been in the works for 4 years. But it was meant as a graphic novel and not individual issues---hence why it has taken so long.

@nszerdy: Are you seeking art of the characters? What specifically are you seeking?

That aside, I love the style very very much. Reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas meets Richard Sala ( Peculia ) and I love it!

@Decept-O: First off--thank you for the kind words---secondly--to answer your question--whatever you feel like doing---it can be of Lola, or any of her supporting characters, it can be a scene, landscape of the graveyard, character with a simple background, or if you can tell a story in your picture even better! Seriously don't over-think it---it's just artwork inspired by some part of the entire book and if you need more examples of environments etc--check out the official site under "art from the book" there are about 17 more pages of examples!

Cool, I love the art design, with that said, are you looking for people to draw images with the style you use or interpret them in their own drawing style?

@EGoD: Thanks! And your own style is fine--different styles and interpretations are most welcome--but if you want to do your own take-off of this style that is fine too! Thanks for asking!

Wow! now this is interesting.... very tempting.... i think i just might give it a whirl.

@wildcats25: Great I look forward to it! And thank you!

I'd be interested in knowing more of the legal side of things. How do you submit artwork? If we submit, does that artwork now belong to you and is able to be used in advertising and such? Would our names be listed somewhere with an area for our website or something?

@Crazy Pan: Hi Crazy Pan, to answer your questions the artwork would be strictly used in the "Gallery section" of the book-(Never as advertising or any other use--just stictly in the book---PERIOD!). It is still your artwork and if you ever want it removed or taken away--that is fine!! Just don't go making a comic featuring Lola etc. Anyone submitting artwork will get credited with their name by the image (or website if preferred) Submit right here on this ComicVine thread for everyone else to see and appreciate! But don't sweat it, I'm not trying to trick anyone here--or make money off of anyone--I'm simply trying to do something nice for people wanting to be published--I had a few extra pages to fill up in my Graphic Novel and so this is what I decided to do. I have plenty of my own artwork I could have placed back there. I hope that lets you know where I am coming from on this and answers all of your questions. Thanks for the question and take care!

i would definitely do it for the exposure!

@wildcats25: Looking forward to it!

This looks amazing! This kind of story always gets me, I am already a Lola Fan. Keep us up to date please?

@lykopis: Thanks, I will keep you up to date. Book 1 has definitely been my passion for the past 4 years. Crazy creepy and dark with whimsical visuals. I've already done about 20 pages worth of work on book 2. (only 2 of those are finished) It was always meant as a 2 book series. But the whole thing has ruled my life for the past 4 years--in that--it is always on my mind. I am constantly re-evaluating Lola's world, making sure all the dots are connected and seeing if I can tie anything else in to make it richer. Anyways--Sorry I went on a tangent there for a bit---but Thanks again!

i hope this is fine

@artiom1q2w: That is awesome! Definitely fine! Great work artiom1q2w---please let me know what you'd like it to say below your picture (website, your name, both?) (you can message me directly if you don't want to post it here for everyone to see) Great work!

@nszerdy: This sounds awesome! I came up with a rough concept sketch. Let me know what you think.

@ProofPudding: Nicely done--can't wait to see it finished!

@nszerdy: Thank You, This has been a fun one to do. Here is some more progress.

When do we have to have the final piece to you.

@ProofPudding: Deadline is April 25th but I love the progress!

Here is my work in progress so far:

@GODofART: pretty cool so far, the 2nd one is really trippy!

@nszerdy: I think I am done with my piece. :) Keep me up to date on the release, even if you decide not to use my piece I would like to purchase a copy.

I hope its up to par for you. Let me know.

Here's my piece, not sure if it's up to standards but it was fun to do.

@proofpudding: Fan-friggin' Tastic---This is great! @egod: Way Cool! nicely done! Make sure I have your names or what you want listed as credit below your pictures!

@proofpudding: Get me the info you want below your picture asap--otherwise I will put your comicvine username if you want? Let me know!
