Matt Jonas drew this image, which shows Jack Young in four fairly similar styles. The first style focuses on the head and neck, showing Jack as a man in his early twenties. The second style shows Jack nearest to his final look, wearing a shirt, tie and jacket.
The third sketch shows Jack as a very loud and obnoxious character, far from his final design. He is wearing a blue pull-over, which quite simply did not follow the logic that we intended for the character. The fourth sketch shows him as a strong, possibly violent man. While he may appear irriated, the character of Jack Young should never be violent.
We toyed with the idea of having Jack Young wear sunglasses. This did not suit his character at all, and would also require obtaining a nice pair of sunglasses especially for the role. Matt Jonas drew this image.
Matt Ball donned a suit and tie to see how the character concept, at this point, would look in the finished product.
To further understand the complex nature of the character of Jack Young, Matt Jonas put together this mood board, which shows several fictional characters who all share elements of Jack's behaviour and characteristics. Characters include Dr. Jimmi Clay (from Doctors), Kyle Hyde (from Hotel Dusk) and Agent Morgan (from Deadly Premoniton).
Another piece of concept art shows Jack Young losing his mind while engulfed in darkness. Artwork created by Matt Jonas.
