Description
A short story inspired by this brilliant novel [link] and based on three imposed narrative changes: rain, lightening and finally thunder.As for the choice of characters, let's just say i've been meaning to make an homage to Lupin and Sherlock's great rivalry ever since i was a kid. I recently stumbled onto some drawings i did of them at the time, and i decided it was time to finish the job.
Now in case you're unfamiliar with Arsène Lupin, here's a quote i got from his wikipedia page:
A contemporary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941) was the creator of the character of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin who, in Francophone countries, has enjoyed a popularity as long-lasting and considerable as Sherlock Holmes in the English-speaking world.
You get the idea.
Character Design:
Holmes & Watson [link]
Lupin [link]
Same technic as in my previous Dead Beauty comic [link]
Arsène Lupin (c) Maurice Leblanc
Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson (c) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Ah! J'ai enfin trouvé le temps de me mettre à jour par rapport à tes updates 
Ca m’impressionne toujours beaucoup ton travail de narration, le rythme et les plans que tu utilises!
En tout cas c'est vraiment super chouette! J'espère que tu continueras à faire des "duotones", c'est absolument un plaisir à lire 
(Sinon, tu agonises toujours avec tes examens? J'espère que ça s'est bien passé!~ )

C'est vrai que j'aime beaucoup les rendu de cette technique (surtout quand le contraste vert/rouge et bien prononcé comme dans la deuxième page), mais c'est tellement un ENFER de travailler comme ça que je ne prévois pas d'en faire beaucoup d'autre ^v^'
Pour mes exams, la partie théorique c'est bien passé oui. Maintenant je passe à la pratique... jamais dormir, JAMAIS !!!

Yup yup les deux premières pages sont particulièrement chouette par rapport aux contrastes justement! C'est vrai que c'est long les applats... C'est du vrai vectoriel ou fait au prix de plusieurs jour de crampe au poignet en faux vectoriels? (dans les deux cas c'est laborieux tu m'diras...)
Et bon courage pour la pratique alors, tu vaincras! >

Wonder what happened to him! I don't want him to be dead even though I like Holmes more. (Don't hate me he's like my favourite character ever. D: )

That's only because you haven't read any of Lupin's stories -w-
Come back to me when you have, and then we'll see.
And no, he's not dead.
Or is he ?

Oh I have read them my man, I have. And I love both of these guys.

You have ? OH GLOREH 
Allright, then i guess you're free to prefer Holmes. Can i just ask why ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I have read only few of them (sucky finnish libraries) but I do know how his character is like.
I like Holmes because I am really attached to the character and I have always had a weakness towards strange genius characters who lack social skills.

Fair enough. Holmes is one heck of a nerd king after all XD

Actually, now that it's all done i find the end kind of silly.
But that's just about the best i could do in less than 10 pages.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, the end isn't silly. It's funny, yes, but not silly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meh. I don't think it's THAT funny, but im sure glad you find it to be so ^^

Thank you. I did enjoy their designing, maybe i can find a way to draw some more of them.

I think what I like more is you kept to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's versions of Holmes and Watson instead of going with the more updated versions. 83

Well not exactly. Mine are not entirely faithful to the original description and illustrations of Conan Doyle's writtings, but i know what you mean.
