Goalie Mask - Finished Product

Don McClelland at www.macmasks.com finished painting/airbrushing my goalie mask design onto my brother's mask and he did one heck of a sweet job. I am quite impressed. It's so rare that the final product in a creative process looks just like you saw it in your head. Check it out:

He was nice enough to send along some process shots as well:

 

And the back piece:

 *EDIT* - Don just sent me photos of the mask with clear coat applied and the straps and grill put on:

Goalie Mask - Final

So I went back to the drawing board after a friend gave me a good critique on the previous design. We agreed it still wasn't looking "Asian" enough.

Here is the final:

  

This is to give a sense what it would look like from the front. Also the horns wrapping around back onto the little piece the straps connect to (that's the Bluenose):

 

And here are the lines for the final:

 

Also, I've got my hands on an old airbrush and I'm going to see if it works and test out how feasible it would be to try to paint masks myself. We shall see...

HOCKEY

So my brother asked me a while ago to help him out with a goalie mask design. Never done this before, so was a bit of a challenge. He wanted something that referenced Prince Edward Island (where we're from), his half Asian heritage, and that he lives in Chicago now.

So gave him the Chicago skyline, a chinese dragon, some chinese design work, maple leaf, and the PEI crest. Also threw in the Cornell logo for good measure.
Not sure whether this will work as a mask, but here ya go.
