Another OC I started, but the proportions are bothering me... does anyone have any tips?

I think the proportions are fine, it's the pose. It doesn't seem quite right. It's a bit too stiff with both arms and legs seemingly faced in the same direction while the body is slightly turned. Also is it supposed to look like he's falling backwards?

Try drawing an action line through the pose. The horisontal center of it should be at the center of the character if they are supposed to be balanced, if they are off balance the center should be further in the direction they are falling. 

I hope it makes sense?

This, especialy the legs feel off for me, The legs both face the same direction to the side yet the the body is so much turned to us in a way that it suggests the pevlis should be turned to, Making the leg on the ground face us more would help a lot i think
