Right now though this thread is turning into a....
Sculpt out the body first, make sure it's sculpted correctly (or damn well close to correct). Then when you're finished with the body, then you can add clothing as a subtool. The folds of the clothing will rely on the form that's underneath.
Also, if you play moonlight sonata and stare into his literally empty eyes it's the creepiest thing ever.
There are tons of free online tutorials on Pixologic's site (Zbrush Classroom), I would suggest checking those out. Your anatomy is inaccurate, and your forms are very "blobby". Maybe starting out with a bust would be a little more feasible?
disregard if im wrong.
Buy an anatomy book. Please. Please.
You dont need to buy an anatomy book, just google for references and you will get the idea, Copy from reality what you see, and try to match your model as close to reality, I bet you are doing this out of your head without any knowledge, and go in Parts, work on the head first for example. when you get it right move to the next section and so on.
You definitely need to research into some zbrush tutorials - that's probably the best solution so far, and study anatomy. That's the fastest way to start developing results. Unfortunately at your current level it's not a thing you can jump right into it and make amazing things - like you've tried - without some proper training.

Word
Have you made any successful character models in Max? I would suggest getting a solid grasp on proper anatomy in Max before jumping into Zbrush. It's easy for things to get out of control quickly when you're sculpting and if you don't have a firm grasp of character modeling and anatomy first...well, here you are.
You should post your basemesh you said you made in Max(with wireframes and full turn-around)and see what people have to say about that.
And yes, "ha ha ha" does not constitute a constructive critique. Don't bother to crit at all if you're taking that route and don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
hey Em. if you are referring to me, you should look at my first post in this thread I actually suggested him to use max as well. I just found funny what mattQ86 said in the end and that's it.
