Seeking Feedback on My Anime Character and Intellectual Property Protection

[Mr.Zombie]

I’m new to game development and before I start, I’d like to ask
Does my character resemble any other character?
"I’ve drawn a new anime character and I’d like to know if it resembles any other characters from anime or if it shares similarities with famous characters. Could you share your opinion?"

How can I protect the intellectual property of my artwork?
"I’d like to know how I can protect the intellectual property of a character I’ve created on Steam or other platforms. Are there specific steps I should follow to protect my artwork?"

You may be better off signing into Steamworks and talking to other game developers on the forums there. They will have a better understanding of how to protect your intellectual property when it comes to game development, compared to us general users.
