Joakim’s mask is transformed into a turtle

Leksands IF
Joakim wanted a turtle on his mask, and then I came up with the idea to transform the entire mask to a turtle and take advantage of the shape of the mask to enhance the effect of a turtle shell. I got to work and the idea worked perfectly.

The turtle is swimming in the water with the rest of the mask painted as the glittering depth of the sea, where you can spot sea animals like jellyfish, starfish and sharks. All painted with extreme detail work in metallic, that I just love to paint.

The chin of the mask features a team theme with Leksand’s beautiful shield and the player number in Leksand-blue turtle style. It was much fun to create this mask design!
