Description
I drew this during my massage therapy certification course on my lunchbreaks. The course gave me a better touch with anatomy, due to having to learn so many muscles and bones by name and function.

Jack originated during a stint as a video store clerk for West Coast videos. The third or fourth job I held. Originally, he came out in a picture that was part of a short line of pictures paired with quotes, which likely evolved from the sketchbook I filled with bad poetry during high school. I might post the early Jacks up just for posterity. The first was a good style. Cartoon-ish. The evolution branched into anime, which I experimented with in high school. I've since done my best to give him a western art look instead, though I detect some of the anime in there still.

As a character, Jack represents my wrath and anger. He came out of nowhere at a time when I was only drawing my laid back, introspectiveness, Simon. I didn't recognize him as such at first. I actually didn't know he'd be a character I'd hold onto either, and I didn't at first, but something made me redraw him alot.

He will eventually be part of a written story that is half formed in my head, hopefully a full comic book. He will represent one of the 7 deadly sins, specifically Wrath of course. He'll be the main character of the story. This story has been evolving since my sophmore year of high school or sometime thereabouts. Might even have been earlier than that. It's beginnings are not even vaguely connectable to what it is now.

Jack has also had the name Gokeijou, japanese translation of hatred I think. Likely a bad translation either way. I got it off of babelfish or something. I rped him in a game made up and run by a roommate in Pittsburgh, and apparently scared the bejeesus out of said roommate and other roommates/friends with the way I played him. He was an orphaned Japanese boy from... okinawa I think, who grew up on a small island with his brother, Junshin (likely a bad translation for whatever it was supposed to mean as well), under the care and tutelage of a monk who took pity on them. He murdered his brother out of jealousy, and the monk out of hatred, and fled to the mainland of Japan, finding work as a hired killer. Just to note, I'm not a horribly intimidating person myself, so this came as a shock at the time.

Junshin, also existed by another name prior to the rp. He is Jacob, Jack's fraternal twin. Jacob at first was going to be a good guy type, and opposite to Jack. He has since, however, come to represent Pride, and what little of it I allow to run me. Now that I think about it, that might be why he's short. I'll upload a picture of him eventually, though it will be his anime form as I haven't graduated him or many of the other characters who were already designed, to this style yet.

I should work more on this.

p.s.- Jack's name formed as an obvious pun on Jack the Ripper. It's more obvious if you know more of one of the many ideas for the story plot. No, he didn't kill prostitutes. He was hunting a demon named Ripper. Yes, it was corny, and now it's been changed. Huzzah.
