Yeah...it's like that cheap vinyl/plastic brick shingle shit people put on the side of their houses. From a distance...yeah, sure. But up close and after some wear & tear? Ooooooof.

The lacing under whatever that facing is also lines up with the new PVE pads, so throw my SLR 2 comment out the window too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro's have SLR 2s dressed as other things right now. The strapping is a minor tweak and is most like Matt Murray's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalline Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 wow, first combo paint job on a mask i've seen. We've all seen the cheevers mask on a mask concept, but this is an interesting take and evolution of that idea. came out really nicely! love that he included the old CCM logo too.

icedog57 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 when I first saw it I questioned the shade of red, but actually, it's pretty close... they just forgot the black cage clip...

Utterly fantastic. It's by David D'arrigo, who has been Smith's mask painter for some time, and has painted masks for Carey Price and Brian Elliot, too, amongst others. I usually don't really like his work, but this... hats off, pal. Well done. 1 hour ago, southpawtendy48 said: While we’re on the topic of masks... WTF is that cutout?? Y'know what? I like the top cut. I just wish that it didn't have the usual DaveArt Wet Fart crap all over it...Simplified, this would be pretty ok, and is a bit jarring to look at. I bet shooters spend the extra fraction of a second looking at this to determine basic head-shape. One thing to add - like Price's mask, there is NO REASON at all that Dave couldn't reverse the Wings logo on that one side. Unless there are copyright issues - Detroit is notoriously controlling over their brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the correct red shade on the decal around the Flames name was perfectly done. Sad this will only see the ice here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
