Could you post up a few of your sketches so we know what he looks like? :)

Do you need a personality? if so, what is the style and theme of this anime? what type of things will he be doing? Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Do you know what he looks like? I am always chalk full of ideas if I have a narrow enough scope.

Something my dear Ink-sensei recommended to me was checking out those online "doll" sites. They usually have TONS of haircuts and styles, and it's a big help to me. I'm sure she can get you more info (sorry to put ya on the spot, Ink-sensei >.>)

Give him a funny hat.
