Rendering
I used Mental Ray for character and Vray for background. I am not skilled in mental ray interior rendering and I din´t want to waste my time
with mental ray for interiors I decided to use Vray and match both scenes settings. For character I used camera with 130mm Lens

Postproduction
In Photoshop, there I did lot of tweaks to achieve a little bit specific look of 80´s movies. I tweaked the color balance, added a grain, a little bit of chromatic abberation and at the end I added lens flare effect using the great Knoll Factory tools. But all the effect are only a small and decent, because bad using of lens flare can kill your render sooner than you blink. I also added tiny facial fur, and tweaked some details.

That´s all folks, thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it and found something useful for your works.

Absolutely Amazing, you’ve captured Clint Eastwood perfectly
Nicely done
ohh my god this very very amazing. I love this site
Thankyou
Wow… Very realistic!
Comming from a Marine he is a 7th award in both pistol and rifle. your badges only reflect 2nd. he did not have 6 medals of honor. the first ribbon it is actually a purple heart. other wise your artwork is insane!!!
Is there any reason why this looks like Clint Eastwood in Gran Turino?
Whoa, that is awesome. How much time did it take from conception to finished product?
you did a great job!
This is really amazing. Great job. I think the animation looks better than the still images though. Lighting seems to work better. His skin in the stills seem to look very slightly plastic. Hope you take no offense. It’s stellar work. Could work for film or games. Thanks for sharing your workflow.
The eyebrows movement looks a little bit strange but the head is amazing!
