this is from a while back but i'm still obsessed with all of these designs so they're getting posted here. they r a set do not separate <3
long-winded design notes that i snatched from when i originally posted these under the cut!
Pair 1:
- i knew that i wanted to make at least one absurdly tall Jack and he was a perfect candidate
- matching music tie and bowtie!!!
- i love height difference sam and jacks and jack deserves to be the taller one sometimes
- this Jack is probably Dominican. gotta get that latino rep in here lets gooo πͺπ (lighthearted)
- their shirts are the same shade of white which you'll see again in the third pair
- iirc i wanted to give tribute to TIOL so I made this Jack orange, though I kept it leaning yellow to better compliment Sammy's blond tips
- i think this Jack is the prettiest
Pair 2:
- i originally wasn't planning on giving Jack dyed hair but I thought it would be cute for both of them to have it dyed since this Sammy has bleached hair like his VA. I tried to keep it subtle since he already had so much color on him that I didn't want it to look overcrowded
- I love red/pink Jacks but instead of a sweater vest I gave him a normal vest since I feel like I don't see that a lot on Jacks?
- i tried to lean into more mischievous vibes with him because I think more Jacks deserve to be pranksters, as a treat
- he also looks chill to counterbalance a pretty high strung looking Sammy
- this Jack is very very loosely inspired by someone I know irl. not really appearance wise, just through vibes
- i don't think these two are dating but they are inseparable as per usual
Pair 3:
- the glasses on Jack were a last minute addition because i KEEP ON FORGETTING TO GIVE CHARACTERS GLASSES
- the green sweater and hat match his Sammy's green eyes (not pictured here). i like to think he does this on purpose
- they both have gray hair because i think its so pretty
- i think this Jack is probably the cutest
- this pair is comprised primarily of soft shapes
- Jack's hair is actually inspired by someone i used to know!
Misc. Notes:
- i need to give more characters glasses
- i forgot facial hair existed oops
- i didn't set out on designing them with the intention of making the first pair both Black and the second pair both Asian, but I do think it adds something to how they operate as a pair. you gotta stick together, y'know?
- in the initial sketching process i wasn't planning on drawing Sammy along with the Jacks but i realized very quickly i couldnt design them without their Sam there. they are a set! do not separate!!
- this does mean that there's a scrapped Jack design sitting in that file...alone....Sammyless.... very sad. I gotta get that man a Sammy
