Keep it up!
You might have already caught it, but I thought it might be worth mentioning anyway just in case.
Try moving the belt up a little more, so it covers the row of abs above it. As you have it right now, it's making is legs look overly short and his torso look really long. It's taking away from the impression that this is a tall orc warrior. It's also more accurate to the reference.
Of course I'm still a novice so I don't know if you're intentionally doing it as to not run into issues for whatever reason, but I think the impression of his height is something you might want to keep in mind.
Tried putting the belt higher, but wasn't satisfied. Warcraft orcs have pretty short legs in the end.
looking forward to this
Cant wait to see this painted...
Now that all of the technical stuff is out of the way, time for painting!
I know it's probably a bit late to change proportions, but I thinks he should be slightly bigger in waist and legs.
But who cares! He looks really nice, can't wait to see him finished
Have you considered a red orc color variation? Might be too much, but you never know.
Also planning on doing a masterskin variation (Which is a variation on the normal skin, not an entirely new skin) Made a quick sketch. The shoulderplate is inspired on Orgrim's shoulderplate, who is Durotan's dearest friend in the lore.
Keep it up, can't wait to see this finished!
Also did some improvements on the low poly mesh to make it more moba friendly.
And lastly, tried out the red orc thing, but it didn't look how I wanted it to look, so I went back to the ogre-ish color and improved that variation. Basically just did lots of tweaking today, before starting on the Masterskin version.

Where Durotan didn't learn how to control his bloodlust and killed Orgrim, instead
of becoming friends (Hence the shoulderplate)
Next up is rigging and skinning both versions and posing them.
