^ I wasn't happy on how it turned out so I decided to start over:

I think face is more true to the character now and the pose is more dynamic, although I don't know how are proportions this time around.
I didn't finish the rest because I am not sure which legs position is better, 1 or 2?

1 for sure, strong line of action.
as for crits, his shirt thing is too lomg compared to the ref, this guy has kind of a vague chestplate look to emphasize his bandaged midriff

The legs in 1 are a lot better and telegraph his personality better.

I'm really not sure what his left arm is doing. The arm on the hip works quite well with the pose but the arm that's extended doesn't appear to be doing anything meaningful, although I suppose it depends on what you do with his fingers.

I would recommend looking at when he appears in the manga/anime and see how he usually holds himself, for some ideas on what to do with that arm.

His pants should end a bit lower and his 'shirt' should be shorter and end higher, as well as have its own shape independent of the body as though it was starched.

The arm on the hip almost looks like it's seen from a complete side view, the circular band running around the armpit and shoulder should be rotated more towards a 3/4 view.

His hair is also too horizontal on the lower half of the back of his head, and the hair on the top of his head should be longer and point upwards more. His hair should be just under 1 face tall.

Update:

I tried reworking hair and one of the hands to not be side view but it just looked weird so I kept it as it is for now.
Trying this new kind of shading for baggy pants, does it work well?

too noisy, i think.
good texture for crumpled paper, but not for cloth.
