Okay, so one thing that I can see that is being sacrificed is probably the 'overallness' of the images. I would try to think of each page as a sort of complete composition. Like find focal points and then have everything be subservient to them. You start doing this on occasion with some of the pages (for example http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9S7WHeouimk/UbqXKcoszoI/AAAAAAAACG8/L-fIZXFBhbc/s1600/19+001.jpg). The shadow behind the character on the left pulls your eye in that direction. I'm just trying to help you think about the overall composition -- even in sketches -- can make these appear as finalized pieces in their own right. Other than that a more consistent value scheme would help to really give these pages that extra *POP*.
No matter what I say though, these are all really kick ass regardless. I tend to love the sketches that people pump out more than the finalized pieces for the most part. Keep up the good work!
I am a conceptartist and freelance illustrator working at the awesome Volta Studio in Quebec by day and may or may not be a caped crusader by night. If you need me, I'll be at evenmehlamundsen@gmail.com
I love pencil work so much!
