Engstrand becomes a Robo Turtle goalie with his new mask

Linköpings HC
I have painted for Christian Engstrand since he was a child, and we have always painted Turtles on the masks. Then you understand it's much fun to paint his masks. This new design for the upcoming Elitserie season design is created as a so called split design, with different design solutions on each side.

One side is torn apart using nice 3-D effects, revealing a Turtle head in robot style... With this mask on the head Christian becomes a robot Turtle! The other side is a nice layout with the Turtles guys, and big on black background a face of a Turtle. On the top the team name is written with Turtles letters. And as usual everything is created with lots of details and 3-D effects to discover.

And one extra spice on this mask is DAVEART Glow FX with the eyes, teeth and stars painted in luminous colors. It's always fun with details! DAVEART Glow FX is a technique I invented 12 years ago when I painted masks back home, and have developed during the years.
