Jones speaks with a clearly distinguishable, albeit thick, Scottish accent that is slightly altered to account for his lack of a nose, and presumably, a nasal cavity and/or sinuses.

It is revealed in the bonus features of the Special Edition DVD that Jones' skin color was partly inspired by a coffee-stained styrofoam cup which was then scanned into ILM's computers to be used as such. Jones has a crustacean-style claw for his left arm, a long tentacle in place of the index finger on his right hand, and the right leg of a crab (resembling a pegleg). Jones' most striking feature is his cephalopod-like head: prehensile octopus-like appendages give the illusion of a thick beard, a prominent sac bulges from under his barnacle-encrusted tricorne, and he breathes through a siphon located on the left side of his face in the place of nasal features. In the third film, Tia Dalma reveals it is the fate of the captain and crew of the Dutchman should they fail or abandon their duties on board.
The physique of Davy Jones and the other crew of the Flying Dutchman was designed by the films' producers to be a mixture of various aquatic flora and fauna features. Several reviewers have in fact mistakenly identified Nighy as wearing prosthetic makeup or a latex mask due to the computer-generated character's photorealism. Davy Jones briefly appears as a human for a single scene in the third film, played by Nighy in costume. In addition, he also wore make-up on his lips and around his mouth, to assist in the motion capture of his character's Scottish accent. Nighy wore make-up around his eyes, since the original plan was to use his real eyes in the digital character if necessary to get the proper lighting. Nighy's performance was recorded using motion capture during filming on the set, with Nighy wearing several markers in both a grey suit and his face, rather than in a studio during post-production. Like the entire crew of the Flying Dutchman (except "Bootstrap Bill"), Davy Jones' physical appearance is completely computer-generated. Other actors considered for the role included Christopher Walken and Ian McShane, with the latter being cast later as Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

The character is based on the superstition of Davy Jones' Locker. The work on Davy Jones by Industrial Light and Magic earned them the 2006 Academy Award for Visual Effects for Dead Man's Chest. The computer-generated imagery used to complete Jones was named by Entertainment Weekly as the tenth favorite computer-generated film character in film history, behind King Kong in 2007. Once a mortal pirate, Davy Jones is the tyrannical captain of the Flying Dutchman (based on the ghost ship of the same name), the dark lord of the Seven Seas and also Jack Sparrow's and Will Turner's archenemy. He is first mentioned in The Curse of the Black Pearl, appears as one of the main antagonists in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, and makes a cameo appearance in Dead Men Tell No Tales.
