Character's Face
The 'newspaper ninjas' from dexter's lab have a unique facial expression design where the top of the eye slots of their balaclavas act as eye brows and have a significant effect on their facial expressions..
Another form of this design can be seen in the game.. Mega Bomberman..
Appearance & Clothing
In terms of appearance and clothing - one of my favourite video games features a character called 'Veigar' who is in fact a sorceror, just lacking on the height front! I thought this would also be a good addition to my character's design, making him shorter gives the illusion that he is 'less talented' than say a magician who is tall.
For clothing, Wizards usually wear the traditional robe and hat. The game 'Magicka' has a unique character design wear clothing makes up most of the character model (faces are hidden beneath a hood)
In relation to clothing and animation, there is an animated character called 'Magical trevor' where his hands are hidden under his sleeves and only ever appear when he lifts his hands up sometimes.. as the middle screenshot shows.
The design is very simple, yet effective in showing the character's personality in an entertaining fashion.
