Famous Likeness - Low and High Res models

I wanted to try and create a likeness of a known person. I created Normal and Ambient Occlusion Maps

from a High Res Mudbox model and applied them to a Low Res model in Maya. I then imported those

maps into Photoshop and created a diffuse map that I painted for his textures and applied that to the Low

Res model.
