Tuukka's 2013 Mask

Tuukka Rask's 2013 mask: http://www.daveart.com/mask-gallery/set/72157632540800754/default.aspx

The story

David about the design:

With this mask on Tuukka Rask will be transformed into a badass bear... Maximum power and action, just what I love to paint. And as always when you come closer you will discover more and more details, and when you come really close you will discover tributes to legendary Bruins players...

As usual the design is pimped with so much Special FX, from Holographix FX, 3-D PaintTech, GhostSmoke and much more. I had fun when I created this one...

Thank you all for your interest.

For any other goalie nut like me. Daveart.com has several new 2013 masks out for numerous other goalies around the league.

Didn't see this posted anywhere but if I missed it please delete mods.

Badass!


The epitome of 'don't poke the bear' otherwise it becomes rabid and crazy! And milkcrates Tuukka doesn't play!


Wicked cool.

 

[Man Rocket]

Sick! It's also kinda horrifying lol

 

[TP]

Nice. I just hope he has better luck with this new mask, as opposed to the last new mask.

 

[KnightofBoston]

A bear on bath salts, cool

Over under 2 games before he switches back to the old one?

Nice. I just hope he has better luck with this new mask, as opposed to the last new mask.

...my first thought as well. We never did see that one beyond the one game, if I remember correctly...

 

[Bruin4Life]

that's a bear? This mask is terri-bad

Well,what`s his mask now?

No mask will ever beat Tuukka's winter classic helmet. That was pure gold.

I think it's ugly, as is his usual mask.

Best masks were Moog's IMO.

 

[Mully]

Not a fan of the DaveArt masks. I agree with the poster above, Moog had the sweetest ones.

You are completely right,Sir.

Do not worry, Tuukka is not wearing that mask. He doesn't even have it. That was just a sample done by a painter. His new mask is the same. He likes it, kinda as his trademark. Like it or not art is in the eye of the beholder.

Did you notice the Assassin's Creed promo mask for Carey Price designed by Ubisoft?
(On Dave's gallery webpage about 3/4 down)
I doubt he will be wearing it, but it is ... interesting.

I love the tribute to Steve Shields

 

[Paddington]

Gotta say I don't like the bear. It reminds me of Wyle E. Coyote after being hit with an anvil.......either that or after a few too many beers.

Good. I like his usual mask a lot.

 

[blazenlo]

I really like it!! Wish the bear was a little more brown though.

 

[VanIsle]

That is one demented looking bear.

 

[Nightslyr]

Not a fan. My first thought, due to the perspective, is that it looked like Scrat:

It looks goofy, not intimidating or menacing.

 

[SpitfireIX]

I like Rask's current mask. I'm a fan, however, of the newer look masks. I like the art that goes into them in comparison to the fairly plain older masks of the early 90's. This new mask is nice too but like many have said I would bet he goes with his tried and true grill.

 

[deliciouspie]

i've never, ever liked any daveart designs; i have no idea why anyone would pay money to that dude

eyecandyair represeeeeent

 

[Justin St Pierre]

There are few masks that I do like, but I also don't really care. If I want to see a mask that I like, I'll have to start studying usury laws pertaining to goats.

(If anyone gets that, thanks for not having me blocked yet).

 

[bruinsfan001]

I think that is just a concept mask.

This looks like the official one, notice this one says "RASK" at the bottom.

When it comes to goalie masks, I`m usually in the `less is more` camp, and like them simple rather than busy.
