D&D 5E Art: Goblinoids, Take Two

All in all I like the way the concept has been evolving I really like the fact that the concept and the look feel the same.

Bugbears - This is the first sketch of the BugBears that feels right to me in any edition, I like the lean predatory look of them and it goes well with their sneakiness and cunning.

Hobgoblins - Seems good, except for the sideburns they remind enough of the Uruk-hi to be familiar and slot them into the right rule in my D&D games.

Goblins - here I have a problem, the concept goblin got too many muscles. Instead of being the vermin that hide in the dark places of the world and being cowardly and cunning it seems like a scary small brawler. IMO the Goblins should be more wiry, they should have thin but strong arms and legs with big hands and feet and long fingers.
I like the fey ears and the sword.

For the sake of completeness, I'm posting here an experiment I've been conducting on Facebook, where I'm doing my own concepts of D&D humanoids (just to warm up before actual work).

Here are the goblinoids:

About the only one I liked was the hobgoblin - that seemed to be on the right track.

I like my goblins scrawny (but I despise the Paizo goblin for its big head) and wirey.

It took me a minute or two to realize the creature on the left was a bugbear, not some minotaur/orc halfbreed. Really hate the design. I think the best hobgoblin I've seen is the ghost-faced hobgoblin mini (redone as the bugbear bezerker in the Dungeon Command game).

Goblin, Gnoll, Hobgoblin?

The blue nose gave the last one away if I'm right. :)
