Okay, here goes.
Vision: I understand the idea here, to make a cool looking OC, and for the most part, you did a good job.
Originality: But here's where the cake hits the floor. He looks just a little TOO cool, if you get what I'm saying. The all black coat and the gray fetlocks are alright, and the cutie mark is fine, but why oh WHY did you ape off of Rainbow Dash's mane? There are so many other styles and colors out there, and you had to go for the one that is unique to RD? Really, you should consider changing it, because the fans will give you hell for it. Trust me, it's for your own good. My suggestion; white mane and tail, cause it will go with the monochrome theme that your stallion exhibits.
Technique: Fine, textbook vector work, and it really works for this sort of thing. Nothing really to critique.
Impact: Your OC did stick out to me, but that's only because of the aforementioned design issue. If he were completely monochrome, then it would've been interesting in a more positive way.
Overall: A good design for an OC, with only one major issue that I hope you'll fix. Other than that, good job and keep it up!

Look man, I'm not questioning your judgement, but I would REALLY reconsider on the mane. I understand why you don't want to, and it does look good with Vinyl, but if you try to RP or use this character in a fic as is, then he will get torn apart. These people aren't always as willing to accept this sort of thing as they say they are.
