I think most artists will not have a problem with the concept of bare-chested boys in portraiture, but you should ask your intended clientelle. Find people you think might commission portraits some day and ask their opinions.

Also, to second what Peter said, the quality of the reference photo used in the above sample will hold you back far more than whether the subject has a shirt on or not. (I actually find the painting scary!)
