daft punk portrait school thing

I've been doing this painting for class and I'm not super excited about it, but I'm just trying to get it finished enough to turn in! It's turned into a digital painting exercise more than anything. It's way too similar to the photo than to call it anything else... My prof is cool with it since it's just supposed to be a poster-type thing. I slapped on "Daft Punk" in katakana because I'm sick of looking at this piece and I just want it to be done *bad example* WE CAN'T ALL BE PERFECT! I've discovered that I reeealllly like digital painting! It's super fun. Here are some progress pictures and the photo that inspired it and that I heavily referenced:
