Martin Holmes

A creation from Argentinian comic masters Carlos Trillo and Juan Bobillo, Martin Holmes is a short graphic novel about Sherlock Holmes’s presumed nephew, Martin, which has unsurprisingly followed on his uncle’s footsteps to solve the greatest mysteries around London. This novel is known as Zachary Holmes in France.

I got notice of this work on my last visit to Argentina and I simply loved it, enough to make a tribute cartoon. I want to think I am becoming less sucky with each work I’m posting here. Here’s hoping I’ll eventually have enough good stuff to show to seasoned experts and not be ashamed of it. At least, not too much.

I still have yet to find a way on how to make one of these without devoting a complete weekend to it. Maybe some things are meant to be that way. This work was about 90% Sketchbook Pro and 10% Photoshop for finishing touches.
