The features/personality (eyes, eyebrows, mouth) will be added later as described in the first post. The skin tone is pale, but that's a style/design decision (toon but not too much so). The overall plan is to inject life into the eyes..something that is missing from 99.999% of games.

As for Noir and facial expressions...most of the time the characters are very stoic and self-centered. The characters in this game...esp this guy are very stoic and emotionless. If you've ever seen The Man Who Wasn't There...think of the way Billy Bob Thorton delivers his lines/monologues, and you'll have some idea.
