His story -
"...Korlic was raised in the Henknoc jungles on the Southern end of the Barbarian Kingdom. While the land that these Barbarians lived in was lush and full of life, it was also full of danger beyond belief. Korlic was the leader of the Henknoc, protecting his people from the beasts they lived among. As a child he had managed to tame one of the more vicious animals called a Stalker. It was said that there must have been Druid in his blood in order to perform such a task at such a young age. In his teens, Korlic rescued a small child from a horde of giant spiders. The child turned out to be the son of a chieftain of an enemy tribe. Without thought or worry Korlic returned the boy home. While some say it was an act of stupidity, others say it was an act of courage. Which ever, it brought about an end to the conflicts between the two tribes. When the Ancients summoned Korlic it was through the tribe's Seer, his wife. She told him the Ancients had called upon him to protect that which must not fall, to protect Mt. Arreat. The honor was such that Korlic could not speak. Seeing this, his wife turned to the people of Henknoc and shouted, "My husband, your chief, has been chosen by the Ancients to guard sacred Mt. Arreat. In honor of this joyous occasion we shall celebrate until his departure." And they celebrated, for three days until Korlic left. On the final day, Korlic named his successor. He was the young boy, now a man, who Korlic had saved from the giant spiders so long ago. Korlic knew he would rule fairly and justly over both tribes. Finally, with all his worldly deeds complete, he ventured to the top of Arreat to begin his otherworldly quest of protecting the Worldstone for all eternity..."
And yeah i liked Korlic the most out of the three also, and from what blizzard claims he's also the strongest of the three which i had always believed Talic was until i found out about it.
I like the right arm a lot, seems natural. But yeah, that left one is in a very awkward position.. and, the legs, too. From what little we see of the legs they just seem like vague masses with very little regard to anatomy, and this really hurts the piece to me. Don't be afraid to look at some reference for something like that. His legs are thick.. but not so much muscular, and the positioning certainly isn't natural. Not trying to harp or anything, but it just seems like your arm poses usually are pretty natural, and your legs aren't.. which can ruin an otherwise pretty awesome piece.
Also, he has no center of balance really, he's leaning, looks like he's about to fall over.
Otherwise pretty damn swell.

Yeah i have a crapload of art books on human proportions and anatomy but i can't seem to get balance and proper arm/leg movement/length right. I guess practice makes perfect so i'll just keep on drawing.
But you know, practicing wrong anatomy doesn't really help, be sure to use your books and such. And what helps a lot in getting their poses to look natural is to do a lot of figure draw and life drawing, just go out to some public place and start gesturing people.
Looks like you've got a lot of potential, and such.

His feet must be HUGE if the footsteps are that big from so far away! Lol. The aura seems a little lazy on the lower half of his body. Also, I don't think the evil eyes work to well. And, yeah, no point repeating what was already said.
