A question that always ponders in my head is:

How does Jack look as a human?

So I decided to draw how I would envision Jack as a human, and of course since Jax is his twin I had to include him too.

At last! M/C’s outfits in ASNW!

Mind you I have no prior experience in sewing, only the motivation to bring a character into life. So my work wasn’t entirely most efficient or methodical in the eyes of an expert

It started off slow, with me making attempts on the size. Here is my second attempt on making the dress shirt. Once I got the hold of it, on my third try I had something like this:

After that, I went ahead and made the cravat. It was fairly simple as I found many tutorials online. This is how it looked like! I also bought a charm that resembles his bolo tie perfectly! (Technically not considered a bolo tie, but for now let’s call it that)

Next part was his waistcoat, it took me two tries to get the measurements and fitting correctly. This was my first attempt:

And here is the final:

I added four buttons (diy’d with hot glue and metallic paint)

The pants were quite simple and self explanatory, done with just the second attempt.

And we have Jax!

Well partially. I still need to work on his tailcoat, I haven’t found the right material to work with, cause my initial fabric I wanted to use kept falling apart so for now I am just waiting for the fabric to come.

That’s my journey for now..

Yes! Jax is Jack’s twin—at least in my AU.

He originally started as the answer to a simple “what if?” question:

What if Jack was cruel?

I didn’t want to write Jack himself that way because it felt too far removed from the character I love. Instead, I created Jax. What began as a curiosity gradually evolved into something much larger.

The idea was also inspired by the fact that Jack is portrayed by two different performers: Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman. In my head, Chris represents Jack, while Danny became the foundation for Jax.

Even though they’re playing the same character, I’ve always felt a subtle difference between their performances. Chris Sarandon’s Jack often feels brighter, more theatrical, charming, and openly expressive. Danny Elfman’s singing voice carries a darker weight to it—more reserved, intense, and sometimes almost predatory. Songs like Jack’s Lament, Jack’s Obsession, and Poor Jack reveal a side of him that feels very different from the showman we see during the Town Meeting sequence.

Because of that, I ended up splitting aspects of Jack’s personality between two characters.

Jack inherited the qualities most people immediately associate with him: his curiosity, optimism, creativity, warmth, and flair for performance. In A Shadowed New World, he’s the brother who reaches out first, offers comfort, and approaches the unknown with fascination rather than suspicion.

Jax, meanwhile, inherited the traits that emerge when Jack is challenged or threatened. He’s more reserved, calculating, intimidating, and protective. Where Jack welcomes people in, Jax keeps them at arm’s length. Where Jack wears his heart openly, Jax guards his carefully.

Rather than creating Jack’s opposite, I like to think I divided one character into two halves and asked what would happen if each half became its own person.

In that sense, both Jack and Jax are Jack—just different facets of him given room to exist independently.

What the storm reveals.
