DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I used a well know photo of Thomas Edison for this picture and tried to
re-create it in 3D in exact pose and scene and light conditions, I used a bit
of shag fur. The hair is an alpha map with 100elf ilumination set to white. I
also used camera Depht of Field to blur the background a little bit and
rendered with some grain to get an old effect. Total of 16 lights used
