Reference vs Art Just to be sure it will work I made rough mockup from model from reference pack, pike photo and for hair I was thinking entanglement of fishing net, which I abandoned latter, but face in shadow stayed.

Reference vs Art I join in with "your reference can look entirely ridiculous and still give you great information". DAZ 3D + Blender. I'm a very strong believer in making your own references. Whether it's selfies, 3D software, traditional sculpting, friends posing... there are so many great ways

Reference vs Art I like to post this occasionally as part of my "you can learn 3D really really badly and it can still be useful for your process" agenda
