I modified the character a bit, but I'm still not satisfied. I think I'll delay it for a while, so that I can focus on it again at a later time. I composed the theme song for the intro now and I'll do some other stuff during the next few days. The main character is accompanying the player through the whole game so it should be quite perfect..

Thanks for the good advices abstauber. That are some things I really didn't think of (red lips, top-light..)

That's how he looks like right now (using your paintover):

Now he finally received a nose.. the problem is that I don't want his eyes to be above the forehead. Maybe I will try to stretch his head a little.
Yeah, I realise I chose a very low resolution.

Here are two pictures of popular physicists from this time (Arrhenius, 1909 and Planck, 1879):


Oh.. Maybe I caused confusion a bit. The story takes place in Hamburg but he is from Darmstadt. That doesn't make a very huge difference of course but just to clarify.
I think the tophat is pretty much fashionable at this time but probably you're right about the tailcoat. A suit coat would likely do it. I'll try to heed your advices and apply some changes to the character tomorrow.

Thanks to both of you!

If I really really had to, maybe the front view of the face is a bit hard to read?

I think you are right about the face. I tried to add some more colours now. Thereby the face doesn't become more expressive but it looks a little more "shaped".

I really like your character. Especially hands are very difficult to draw and you mastered it quite perfectly. I think she looks kinda strong-willed with her broad face with high cheekbones (and the visible collarbone, that makes her head and neck look upright) but a bit dreamy at the same time. All in all she looks very likeable.
I don't know how old you want her to be.. If teenage means around 16 to you then I think she looks a little short (intentionally?). If you don't want her to look short you can arrange that by resizing the head just a little bit.
The seams at her front pockets are at the wrong side of the edge I think.
I believe there is a chance to meet this girl in real life.. (looking realistic). Great work!
I'm not a pro so all I'm saying is of course very subjective.

Thanks a lot for a first feedback.

Hello.

That's my first (animated) character. So I hope you can give me some feedback. The story takes place around 1900 in Hamburg and this guy is a physics professor (the main character).
