This is my first AGS character. Actually I think it's one of the first things that I have ever drawn from scratch with Paint. It is the main character for the MAGS game that I am (hopefully) making - the game will be my first AGS game. So I'm a real newbie.
His clothes are supposed to look like some kind of pyjamas that he has borrowed from a hospital. His shoes are some kind of cheap slippers.

edit: new version. Improved shading. Background colour changed. Shading added to pocket. Feet made a bit longer.
edit: new version. Darker shading. Changed arms. Shading changed in the third view so that the light comes from the same direction in all four views. Shading added to shoes.
That's a nice character, actually. The only thing is that the edges of the shading should be a little bit darker.
Try posting it on a non-white background, that way we can see the character better ;)
Try adjusting the color contrast. Right now the light gray and the pink skin are too close in value to the white.
may want to straiten his feet/legs up a little (he kinda looks gimp-ish) but very nice work. I cant draw characters like that and i have been here for 2 years!
I made a quick and rough paintover for the side view to maybe give you some ideas:

Basically I adjusted the colors a bit so now it doesn't look so bright. Also I corrected the pose of his arms. Then I adjusted the pose of his feet a bit.
I like your character a lot but it needs some correcting with his pose and colors. :)
Thanks for all the good advise. I've tried to make some of the suggested changes.
Darker does not equate better contrast. Try using a greater range of values in the sprite.
If you really want, I'll attempt a paintover.
I thought it was a professor or something like that ^_^".
