The Mask Of The Crypt…

Joni Ortio of the Calgary Flames wanted a a really brutal design… A design that breath skulls… and breath Calgary Flames… all created in a new way…

We brainstormed together and dug down into the crypt, and created this violence piece…

We wanted the piece to work in all angles, and both up close as on a distance, as in the crypt…

Just as usual the design is loaded with insane detail work and DAVEART trademark effects :)

Every design I create is always 100% unique, and I love the challenge of creating new designs in different styles every day :)

Thanks Joni, it´s wonderful to be your personal artist.

Rämö is the Beast

Beware…with this #NHL mask on Karri Rämö is transformed into The Beast.

The jaw is loaded with big bad teeth, and he also has an extra mouth on the top loaded with teeth…. Behind there you can see his brain… just as on Karri´s previous designs I´ve made for him.

I love to paint in different styles from day to day. This #Calgary #Flames design idea I came up with as a teenager back in the 90´s. I took my sketches from then and created this creature.

Thanks Karri, love to be your personal painter!

Irving's mask is torn apart...

Leland Irving mask has been totally torn apart by a mad grizzly, and the old school Calgary Flames mask is totally ripped into pieces...!

The design is a tribute to Leland's minor hockey team Swan Hills Grizzlies, I had so fun when I created it :-)

I love to create these so called 2 in 1 designs. Old school classic base connected with the Flames uniform, and then the action rocks when the grizzly comes out, doing what he does the best! And hey yea if you look close there on the side in the background you see the grizzly standing... And Just as usual, lots and lots of details and special FX. I just love to go crazy with the details :-)

Thanks Leland, so proud to be your painter.

The Protector Of The Throne

The Protector Of The Throne is the name of Henrik Karlsson's new Calgary Flames mask. The style of the artwork is inspired from kings, castles and knights, and Henrik is a knight protecting the net.

One side of the mask is old school, and the other side opens up and it becomes a waving knight scroll, and the scroll transforms into Flames of Calgary.

It is always such a pleasure to create and come up with new design ideas. Me and Henrik Karlsson have been working together for many years.

You're all welcome to check out the mask, the closer you come the more details you will discover. Thank you all for your interest.

A guardian dragon on Irving´s new Flames mask

A guardian dragon fits perfect on a mask for a goalie guarding the net. The Calgary Flames keeper Leland Irving had such a cool classic idea. I created the dragon winding around the mask, no puck wanna go there... The whole design is painted in a very old school style, white base, and the dragon is inspired from old school tattoo style. The flames around the mask and the script on the chin are also very old school.

Dragons are a perfect theme on a mask. Check out Leland´s last mask on the site. This new dragon I created in a totally different style compared to the previous. I love to change paint styles from day to day when I paint, depending on what style and feeling the designs needs. When I made the early sketches for this one I was very inspired by old school tattoo styles.

This asymmetric winding design with so different sides gives a cool effect when the mask is turn side to side. Just as usual it is painted with extreme details to be discovered all over the mask, and DAVEART Holographix FX gives sweet 3-D effects, spiced with metallic glitter and golden fadings.

Among the details I also painted a sky on the side with a bomber plane flying, that is a tribute to Leland´s uncle that passed away this summer. Welcome to check out Leland Irving´s Calgary Flames mask , and thank you for your interest.

Flames and graphic demon eyes on Karlsson´s new Flames mask

I love to always evolve new design ideas. During the hot summer I came up with the idea how to create 2 flame designs in 1. With black classic flames coming from the back of the mask very interesting effects are achieved. From distance the red base also turns into unique red flames from the front of the mask. A cool way how to create a "2 in 1 design". The Calgary Flames keeper Henrik Karlsson loved my ideas and I started to paint.

In the front of the mask I also painted graphic lines that are inspired by the jersey, and I placed them so that from the front they feel like angry demon eyes. Gives a cool personality and profile to the mask.

I created the design with lots and lots of 3-D effects and metallic glitter, with sweet small lightning effects giving cool action. And on the chin the Calgary Tower, Karlsson´s nickname...

Skulls and flames...

It was so exciting to create Joni Ortio's new Calgary Flames mask look. I came up with this really scary design, and Joni gave me thumbs up and I started. I created the design as a so called 2 designs in 1. The mask as a whole is transformed into a scary skull, with the teeth on the lower part and badass stitches on the crashed skull on the top... a really dirty look, and on each side I created a bad skull giving action to the design...

A design that works both from a distance and up close with all the details. I love to paint details that make the designs more interesting.

Dragon war on Irving’s mask

Leland Irving had a very cool idea for his new mask, and I was very happy when he contacted me to get it done. He wanted a tribute design to one of his favorite mask designs from his childhood, that is McLean's classic design from the mid 90s. This design is inspired by McLean's design with the checkered pattern on the top, and red, black and silver base, and a dragon on each side. But we turned up the heat, big time, and created this mix of old school with top modern effects!

From a long distance this design makes perfect thanks to the distinct color combinations and strong contrasts in the basic design, but when you check it out more close a new world of details and story telling is opened!

On each side I created a close-up of a dragon, really cocky...and with claws like Wolverine... One of them is fighting with a hockey stick, and is enjoying a big cigar...as a dragon would need extra smoke... They fight against the big nasty dragons flying over the mountains in the background, now you know why the mask design is named Dragon War! Full of action! There's smoke from the lava around them, and speaking of that, watch out! On one side the volcano is about to erupt, it's coming smoke from it!

The rest of the design is created in old school spirit. On the chin a knights pennant with the name is flying in the wind. With extremely much detail work and 3-D effects this design is an experience in detail richness.

Cruel skulls in a new way on Karlsson's new Calgary Flames mask

Henrik and I talked about his new mask design and came to the conclusion that we wanted to make something really violent, that would allude to flames, but also be something new. The result is a violent creation with the logo in focus and team graphics around, and with nasty flame effects that melt together with cruel skulls...
