Jak Through the Years



BEHOLD.  THE MANY FACES OF JAK.

Each menu option is the is how Jak appeared in each game, the labels being the location where the game was centered, with the exception of Kid Jak, who is also from Jak II.

Jak and Daxter: Sandover; a sweet, young mute who has grown up in a peaceful village filled with green.  His curiousity and sense of adventure often get him into trouble.
Jak II: Haven City; After being thrown centuries into the future where he was then imprisoned for two years, this Jak is angry and ready to fight.  After his escape he finally began to speak.  It was in this future he found his child-self Kid Jak, who was then sent to the past.
Jak 3: Spargus; One year later, Jak has been exiled to the Wasteland and left to die, where he is then taken in by the desert-hardened people of Spargus, then forced to save the very people who turned their backs on him.
Jak X: Kras City; Another year later, Jak and his friends are called to Kras City to participate in savage combat races.  They have to win in order to save their lives and Jak's not about to take crap from anyone.

The background is Haven City.

For some reason, this took WAY longer than it should have.  It think because I wanted to make everything perfect, and even then I'm still bothered by a few tiny things.  *coughstupidwhitepixelscough*  At first, I wanted to also include Jak from Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, but I could find any decent concept are of him.  It's also now that I realize there are a few more forms of Jak I wanted to add.  Oh well, I'll do that later.

Buttons are wonderful.  I love them, and I will certainly use them in the future.  Looooooove them.  The Actions window is an amazing tool.  It can do so much.  Once I got using it down, all of the rest of the buttons took a matter of moments to make.
