Carl Orff was a 20th-Century German composer, mostly known for the immensely popular Carmina Burana and his Schulwerk musical education system. He created many other interesting works though, and his minimalist, rhythmical and percussion-heavy style shows in almost all of them.
I modeled the head with standard polygon modelling and sculpted the details using the Multires modifier. I used Andrei Cristea’s excellent Cycles skin shader and an HDRI environment from HDRLabs.
Hope you like it!
EDIT — Even if it is in Finished Projects, I made some changes in lighting and hair as there was room for improvement.
