That's actually largely intentional in the design; the demons in this mythology are NOT necessarily nice, well-balanced, "normal" creatures. Many are horrific monstrosities, disproportioned, and unnatural in every way. Quite a few end up looking like something which shouldn't exist, when all is said and done (largely because, in some ways, they, in fact, SHOULDN'T exist :) ). Of course, some (like Gilrandree) appear as well proportioned, even handsome creatures, but that's not at all universally true of all the demons in this universe.
One of the key things of this fellow's design was that someone could see his upper body and not really entirely realize just HOW mutated the creature was, but as soon as the lower body comes into view, you realize the creature you're dealing with is isn't even close to human in reality, even if part of him appears that way. That kind of drives the disproportionate design.

Haha, I saw this at first and thought, "Wow, this would make an awesome demon prince-type boss." Then I saw it was you and realized why I thought that. XD Another magnificent piece. I love how you get across the grotesque nature of this creature while also managing to maintain a little bit of the supernatural... elegance (for lack of a better term) that I imagine high-ranking demons to have in some form or fashion.
