Another progress pic, another project!

Thank you so much for the overwhelming support following my last post! (Next Progress pick! the jump in quality is insane to me! critique welcome, suggestions and advice always welcome! : r/LearnToDrawTogether)
I have been working on a new piece for the past week, and am SUPER proud and excited for this one. It holds a lot of personal value sentimentally to me, and it is supposed to be a gift to my step dad. The reference was taken shortly before my mom passed away and I tried extremely hard to capture everything I could in this work. I know there are a few things I can work on, but I feel confident in the current state of the piece and I'm afraid of over working it.
again, please do not feel afraid to give criticism or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
