Alright, ogre time!

Main issues I’m seeing here is the lack of clear volumes in the form. Therefor everything falls a bit flat and it becomes hard to believe the pose.

Also, act out your poses! This will better help you understand where to place elements of the mannequin before committing to detail. 

As for the body type, too illustrate a heavier character it is usually easier to do that by keep secondary features, like facial features, small compared to the overall large mass. This will make the character feel even bigger. 

Think about push and pull and gravity when considering your lines. Too many broken up lines make the silhouette confusing to read. Therefore try to keep your lines simple and clean. 

Keep it up!

I'm really impressed with your drawing skill! Your hands, face, and feet look really good and even tackling a fat character can be difficult but I think you nailed it. I am by no means a character designer, but I will try my best to help! I think what will help you most is simplifying your shapes. A strong character design usually means having strong shapes. -For example, the head and face! If I were to outline it, it would bear no resemblence to any basic shape and it would be hard to even recall it from memory. So what I did was I simplified it into an egg shape and instantly it feels a lot more confident! I did the same with all of the elements of your drawing. The hair I grouped up into simple geometric shapes of big, medium, and small sizes. I also did this for his loincloth and made the rips into simple shapes. All those random sharp tears yours had lack form and cohesion. I enlarged his club because it wasn't very striking as it was. When you design a very simply dressed character, it's a good opportunity to go crazy with their accessories! Make the club the focal point of the design or maybe give him a necklace made of skulls to be the focus. You need at least one thing that really stands out and is unique. (Speaking of the club, at some point I realised I didn't know how to tie a rock to a stick so I gave up lol) Even the shapes of the hair and face can be that if it's pushed enough. I hope I was able to help!
