Deep Ink Pit: "Backstory"

Nous voilà en plein milieu de la School Zone ... Bilou va avoir besoin de l'aide d'un encrier vétéran et de sa plume volante ... mais celui-ci n'est pas dupe. la lettre d'introduction de Maître Pad ne suffit pas: il veut une preuve tangible que Bilou est bien le héro légendaire qu'il prétend.

Well, this is not exactly "necro-posting", but yet, these pictures were waiting in the "draft" subjects since May 2010 ^^" ... and they were likely drawn from a long time ago by then, since the chose-your-game poll of January 2010 was already featuring the concept of Deep Ink Pit. And I know these small sketches, between design document and comic book, were drawn as the concept of the Deep ink Pit was forming in my mind.
I bet that's the best I can do tonight to make you forgive me for being so much overwhelmed with work that I can barely give you a blog update ...
