Realistically, yeah, he should be toppling over backwards. The style I was using at the time had a lot of characters who stood at weird leaning angles. Probably not the way I'd do it now and I may go back and correct it.
The shading looks great, but the character looks like he's about to tip over backwards. With a heavy tail like that it seems like he'd have to counterbalance with his back leg.
