The distribution of visual weight is looking exactly as I had hoped. However I don't know that the "hyena" thing is working anymore--I had a reason for it in regards to the neck and looks that the character could have, but it doesn't seem to be working with the build. So moving on from this one lets say:
1. Scrap from the neck up of this design. I have some ideas for the head, including a much smaller neck, so that the head looks closer or more embedded in his massive shoulders or chest (kind of hunchback-ish).
I would like to see something with a nice set of ram horns. and I think the head should be more stout like a Pug dog's face. You could do a bigger lower jaw and lip with the typical one tooth sticking up.
2. Just like David is thinner on the inside, we want to make the Goliath thinner at the waist. Try to better streamline the upper half to the waist. On your drawing as it is there is a very nice inverted c curve on the left side (his right) that runs from his upper half along his ribs to his waste. I think the excess weight could just be removed. This again will give the illusion of weight in the areas where we want them, as well as be more in line with the style that we're going for.
I will try to post some quick drawings of what I mean with the head later today, unless you magically understand everything I just blabbed about. Good work!

Looking great Hunter.
