Oooh nice 
Great gift to surprise him with!
Some points of comment, though.
On the chest emblem, I'd have chosen a less bright blue to indicate light glare, unlike the suit it doesn't have much to blend with and it looks a bit out of place/faded to me.
I love how the throwing knife catches the light and causes a glowy reflection.
I think that where the torso meets the belt and goes on into the lower body, his back seems a bit dislocated, a tad too far to the right (his left). I could be wrong though, the belt pouches does distract a bit. When zoomed in, there's a slight line above the pouch, that and the shadow fade negate the point I just made 
Nice subtle (but still there) bulge there, he'd probably look odd if it was totally absent 
Great piece, good anatomy, consistent lighting, good colours and I like the backdrop!

So yeah, the fade on the logo - I tried a new thing and colored this in layers, and the highlights layer lightens everything to the same degree, and that's just how it turned out on the logo. As for the sway-back - yes I know what you mean
Part of it is scan-distortion, part of it is on purpose because I wanted him to rest a bit on that back leg, and part of it is that I was doing a kind of time trial to see how fast I could get a decent picture out; I would go back and do some tweaking if my Anal hat was on thanks again, I appreciate stuff like this! It's great to see what faults objective parties notice, it's a great way to get better!

It's really a shame Proud Citizen left the forum in a tantrum. He's missing out on a really nice gift. Ah well.
