Star Wars Emperor vs. Yoda Hockey goalie mask

I recently finished up my latest goalie mask , featuring Darth Sidious AKA The Emperor on one side and Yoda on the other side, both brandishing their light sabers meeting in the middle. I also couldn't do a mask with the Emperor and not also included the force lightning, so I added it thought the mask bringing it all together. Out of all the masks I've painted so far, this is my favorite both in terms of painting and the final product, now that I have several under my belt the process of painting this one went pretty smooth.

R2-D2 Star Wars Goalie Mask

This one of the earlier goalie masks I painted and the 1st of many Star Wars influenced masks I have done and plan to do, I present an R2-D2 inspired goalie mask. I thought the goalie mask design lent itself as a perfect medium to transpose R2-D2 on it.

Custom Mask: North Tonawnda High School Hockey

This will be my 3rd Custom mask that I painted. This one is for my alma mater the North Tonawanda High School hockey team. The Schools mascot is a lumberjack so I had a tree line across the mask withe a lumberjack on either side wielding an axe. The goaltender was the teams honorary captain much like Luongo was and wanted the "C" at the chin of the mask, so i wrote JACKS across the bottom making sure the C was in the middle and slightly larger than the other letters.

Goalie Mask #2: Buffalo Regals/Canisius

Well, finally I put everything together and here is the 2nd goalie mask I painted for Aaron Fanti who Plays for the Buffalo Regals 97 and will be playing for Canisius high school. Being new to airbrushing this was quite the challenge for me and I am more than pleased as how it came out, looks great on the ice. Here is a little photo montage of the final version and a photo slideshow of the process leading up to the final product.

The Joker Mask in High School Hockey

I'll have some more art post later in the week here is some interesting news in the meantime, you might recall last summer I painted my 1st goalie mask "The Joker" I have since done another (which I have yet to post) and currently working on two more. Well the Joker Mask made an appearance over western New York newspapers over the weekend from a High School tournament and North Tonawanda Starting goalie Austin Willison was all over the papers...I want to say the mask helped, take a look from The Buffalo News Here

 

And the Tonawanda News
