What would make a good base for....?

I think we need a topic where people can ask for tips for their sprite edits...
Case in point, I need such advice and wasnt sure weather or not to post this in help or graphic arts.

This is Ark, hes a character from a game called Terranigma

Ive been wracking my brain for a very long time now, trying to think of who would be a good base to make him from.
I think I need a fresh set of eyes (yours perhaps) to look at the pics and give me some ideas.
