Description

The Wake by Vertigo Comics
The Mer / Monster face & body designs
by Sean Murphy

The Wake by Vertigo Comics Leeward character designs by Sean Murphy This character design was published in the director's cut of issue #1 (August 28th, 2014) and again in the hardcover trade (November 11th, 2014).

These were all the options Sean drew for himself and series writer, Scott Snyder in the early stages of creating the book. These pieces were drawn on multiple pages (1 large on left and 3 smaller pages on right) and were recently signed by Sean at the NC Comicon in Durham, NC, November 15, 2014.

In an interview with Scott Snyder he stated the creature was inspired by a prehistoric shark found on the coast of Japan years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mneDhOtVEQw
