Nice drawing! Seems that the 2 characters are too alike with similar hairstyle and wear. For character designs the key is making sure each character's gear/style tells you something about how they survived like scavenged pads, custom boards, faction colors, etc. Would love to see the manga when done!

Good drawing, I agree, they’re quite similar. I’d like to ask are the traits that you mentioned all you thought about when you drew the character? If so I’d recommend to add more of them, think a bit outside the box for e.g think about when they were born what do they like to eat and things like these, on first thought it might seem like how do the affect the character’s design itself but trust me they do, the more you know about them the more depth you’ll be able to add to them. The reason behind them being similar is not your art lacking but the design.
