It's an interesting style, but I think that some of your proportions are a little off. I'm mostly feeling that around the lower torso/leg area, but it could also be that he has massive traps that are bigger than his pecs and his neck goes inward :S. His core in general seems very slim relative to the rest of his body (muscle progression works in a V there, not so much a T).
I think you would also benefit from adding some folds to the interior of the clothing rather than just the exterior. Also, point the feet out a little bit. Nobody stands with their feet pointed perfectly forward like that.
He has no pupils, but I think you intended that.
My major gripe would be that I don't know what the hell that thing on his face is. I'm guessing it's some kind of face mask, but I can still see the eyebrows through it and it seems to magically disappear through his hair. In general, it along with the cupcake scruff do not look very inviting aesthetically.
Unrelated to the art, what kind of last name is Ozone? :\

Yeah, I severely messed up on the proportions. Mainly that the upperbody is overly muscular.
And the colouring was just to show the colourscheme, not proper-art, if you know what I mean?
No pupils was intentional, I didn't bother with the little details. The red bit on his face are his bangs, and I gave him the scruff I'm sporting. Which should be changed to a chinstrap in all actuality.
And it's a LONG story on the surname. And it's Ozoné, oh-zoh-nay.

Foot perspective.
a very important thing to learn: When you look at any object in perspective the only objects that appear flat are those directly at eye level. all other lines will have a curvature away form the point of perspective. -generally- when you draw a concept sketch like this it's easiest to put the perspective line at about the chest. this means that every thing above, like lines of a hat on his head, would curve upwards, not be flat or curve downwards. (UNLESS he was bent in such a way that draws the hat into a different perspective.) And (and this is the point I've been coming to VERY slowly) his feet would point downwards, and you would be able to see the tops of his shoes. the only way that his feet should be seen in that perspective that you have there, is if you were looking at him with your chin planted firmly in an inch or two of top soil.
Ignore that fact that this was done with no real care in MS paint with a track ball, no tablet. the basic idea is there.

in perspective the feet come come off sort of like this. When I'm doing my under structure i use this trick to define my feet. a ball for the heal, an oval for the toes. give it a try some time. it's a surprisingly simple trick and it helps allot.
NOW THAT THAT IS OUT OF THE WAY!
it's actually kind of a fun design, all be it a little gothey. That seems to be En vogue these days, I'm guilty of it in design myself sometimes.
I cant tell if that is a bandanna or dyed hair. And I'm not entirely sure that someone of age 21 would have that kind of huge muscular oompah in their arms.
