This is my submission with reference for the Digital Lighting final assignment.
This is also as link to the submissions community post which has the other 3 renders I did.

As I understand the exercise, this was strictly a lighting exercise and not to modify the head model itself.
The goal was to attempt to capture the lighting, shadows, colors and the mood or feeling of the reference.
The references chosen are not fan based but I found to be a lighting challenge I found from noticing them in the past of how and why they did the lighting that way and just coming across them on the internet and found them to be a challenge to attempt with y basic newly acquired understanding and skill (if one would call it that 8^]).
The Fantriot
I chose this refence due to the lighting challenge. I was thinking that the photographer might have used makeup to achieve the look but I’m not sure about that. I wanted to attempt to recreated a divided lighting as well as the cross across the face.
I made the colors bold to represent the character. The character is a passionate and bold in their love of their sports team or country. People would either call them fanatic or patriot but the colors shine from their passion.
