The Making of The Underwater Welder: Part 3
Sorry it's been so long between these "making of" posts, I've been really busy with deadlines over the last week. At any rate here is the 3rd behind the scenes look at the creation of my new graphic novel, THE UNDERWATER WELDER.
In this instalment I'll take a look at some of my initial concept drawing done in early 2008. You can see pages from my old sketchbooks where I had quickly scratched out ideas for scenes or key visual moments in the book. You can also see how these initial ideas stuck around and how close they became to the finished art.

The Underwater Welder Reviews and News!
The Underwater Welder has landed -- and it's a hit!
July 30, 2012
"Already a safe bet for the best graphic novel of the year." -- Multiversity Comics
"Absolutely brilliant... one of the highest quality pieces of work that I have read in a very long time." --Comicosity
"Underwater Welder has rocketed to the top of my Book of the Year list." --Stumptown Trade Review
"My words cannot do justice to the beauty of Lemire’s inks. There is literal and figurative depth here, but also subtlety when it is needed." -- Heroes Aren't Hard to Find
"Meditative and haunting." -- The Outhouse
"Rife with big universal ideas made strikingly personal... engaging, emotionally affecting and sometimes frightening." -- Talking Comic Books
"The magic that Lemire works with the story is astounding. The tightness of the plotting, the scripting, the pacing, the sheer impact of it all; everything is right." -- Geek Syndicate
If you haven't read The Underwater Welder, you can grab it today in print or digital. And if you're new to Jeff's work, don't miss his early gem Lost Dogs and his landmark opusEssex County.

The Making of The Underwater Welder: Part 2
In this second behind the scenes installment of the work that went into The Underwater Welder I'll share some of the earliest character designs as well as a few more developed model sheets. The character of "Trapper" is my favorite to draw. he was modelled after Elliot Gould in Robert Altman's MASH, and I even called him Trapper after Gould's character.
Incidentally the lead characters, father and son Jack and Pete were originally named Jack and Ted as an homage to the greatest father/son superhero comic ever, James Robinson's STARMAN. But I changed it at the last moment to Pete because my Father's name is Ted and I didn't want him to think that the character, an alcoholic and often absentee dad, was a reflection of him. My Dad was about the best Father you could ask for and couldn't be further from the Pete/Ted character.
