My new darth vader goalie helmet

[GF]

Here's my newly painted hockey Goalie helmet with a DV themed paintjob.

Everything was masked and airbrushed NO DECALS. This is a NHL Pro 961 Itech helmet cost $1000 without paintjob.

Enjoy

awesome!! and go Flyers Not that you are a Habs fan for sure or anything, just I'm wearing my Flyers jersey today and I'm making assumptions lol

 

[CSMacLaren]

That's some amazing talent you got there.

The red reminds me of an Imperial Guard also!

Thanks guys,

Ferrari Red (Rosso) was used for the color.

I'm a New York Ranger fan, they sucked big time this year.

Love it! That design would look great on a motorcycle helmet as well:thumbsup

Nice clean work, but very "stencilish" if that's a word. If that was the look you wanted very nice. :cool
The layout is very nice and well placed, good composition.:thumbsup

Thank you for the nice words!

Yes that's exactly the look I wanted, I really wanted DV to stand out and clearly distinguishable from every angle, not too much detail and not a cartoonish look.

Everything had to fit perfectly within the vent holes, like the sizing, positioning ect... without affecting the graphics too much.


Here's some photos of the old paintjob made by another artist which I wasn't that happy with, it had less of a stencil look but was hardly noticeable, most of my teammates never noticed I had DV on my helmet.

Great job GF,
That'd look awesome on Halak to kick the FLYER's arse!

GO HABS GO!

 

[LizardJedi]

Nice! I really like how you used red as a base color. Keeps a nice contrast.

Oh and Go Sharks! (even though its not going to help...)

 

[Darth Infamous]

That is fantastic GF. Very nicely done.

Gerardo, that looks fantastic! I absolutely love it, a 1000 times better then the old one! IMO it's the simple and clean grafic look that really makes it fly. I absolutely hate the cheezy airbrush look that most of these items usually have but you've really overcome that with your clean and sharp lines. I work as a grafic designer and let me tell you that your design looks VERY professional.

Cheers,

Steve.

Sure it can deflect a puck, but can it deflect a light saber? :lol
