Or more specifically, the silhouette of the Gnome. I set down very few rules, based on traditional depictions: beards for the gentlegnomes, pointed ears and long (not just large) noses to distinguish them from Dwarves, Dwarf-like proportions, and a conical hat (or variation thereof)
Everything else is personal taste and differentiation. Beards make them look less Hobbit-like, short beards make them look less Dwarven. So far I seem to be applying a third guideline: face plus beard length equals hat height - but we'll see how this goes from here. I don't intend them to be all like these first two, for sure.
