Oh lawd!! You totally nailed the BE in the end, really cool color palette and that nazi hairdo gives him more psycho-killer personality, great job on that one man. My only crit would be the cape, for some reason your clothing stuff doesn't convince me 100%, maybe doing some studies on that would help, also hogarth's book "Dynamic wrinkles and drapery" helps a ton, I think it's available on pdf online.
Gestures of foreshortening are coming along too, I personally tend to fail big time when foreshortening from ref, so you're doing a really good job in my eyes with that, you wanted more refs, so here ya go:
http://senshistock.deviantart.com/ - decent foreshortening refs, very suited for the kind of characters you draw too.
http://www.posemaniacs.com/ - the definitive foreshortening ref site in my opinion, super annoying to draw them at first, because it's a wonky weird lens, but when you get the hang of it it really improves the construction / observational skills. Plus you can set the timer however you want or just browse without timer if you wanna study some pose with no time limit.
The faces are looking nice too, I kinda wanna see you paint one of those portraits, I'm curious to see how you'd handle them.
For the draenei, the quickest solution in my eyes is: TENTACLE BEARDS!!! if they have that, they look older and maybe a bigger torso would help too, he's packing really big legs with an average to small torso, which kinda kills the feeling of an elder. The color scheme is looking nice though.
And yeah, no wonder you're running out of paintings to thumbnail, you're spamming tons of them everyday! xD
By the way, the only way to avoid the wrist thing is to take it slow for 10 minutes MINIMUM every hour!! Listen to me man, or you'll get some fucking muscle problem and then I'll have an advantage over you!!!! Hahaha Oh, another idea is to try and loosen up the wrist when drawin/painting, try to hold a les firm grasp on the pencil, it is hard at first because it's a reflex, but if you keep doing it your body gets used to it and your wrist suffers much less stress.
Keep killing it man! ;)
