Hello! I've been lurking for the last few days trying to decide what kind of characters would fit this community the best, and I've narrowed it down to two. For now, I've just drawn some basic concept art of them both, because I'd like to ask for some input on which you all think would work best as my first character, but once I decide on who I'll use, I'll post a detailed concept sheet & some thumbnails.



On the left we have Scott Ramsey. He is 37 years old and is a professor at a university. He is incredibly bitter and always shows up to his classes drunk. In his teen years, he wanted to study and practice fine art, but was rejected from every school that he applied to, and so he settled on becoming a teacher, thinking it'd be the easiest job he could land. He has a tendency to be rude and harsh towards his students, grading all of his assignments meticulously as a release for the rage he still feels about his own scholarly failures long ago. While he still has a passion for painting, he hasn't touched a canvas in over 10 years, as the sting of failure still burns within his heart.

On the right is Mynx Milano. She is 29 years old, and she is a wealthy widow. She married her high school sweetheart when she was 18 years old and for a while, they struggled. Her husband, however, always had dreams of becoming an inventor--and one day, one of his inventions hit big, leading them to accumulate a large amount of money very quickly. Shortly after, however, Mynx's husband died suddenly of a heart attack. Nowadays, Mynx spoils herself rotten, spending ludicrous amounts of money on fine jewelry, fur coats and expensive food. She also has a tendency to prey on younger men, flirting and coaxing them into bed, as a coping method due to the loss of her husband. An incredibly emotional woman, Mynx's expressions are always incredibly over the top, whether she is feeling happy, sad, or anywhere in between.

Please tell me which you think would do better in this community, and any feedback on their designs or anything else would be incredibly appreciated! If you feel that neither of them would fit, please don't hesitate to say so--I really want to start off strong in this community if I can help it.
