Dexter da Goalie - Mark Dekanich, Milwaukee Admirals, AHL, 2008-2009
The story
When you have Dex as your nickname it's kind of obvious you wanna have this cool TV character on the mask, Dexter! Mark had a vision of how the mask was made out of ice blocks, like an igloo, and Dexter as a goalie breaks out of the ice making ice blocks fly everywhere...! David painted it all with an effectful 3D feeling.
David got the idea to paint the sides with the ice blocks falling apart, revealing the club logos of Milwaukee, with the nasty skull, and Nashville, with the awesome predator. This tied th edesign together in a natural way.
On the chin the name has it's given place, and the white cage fits perfect with this contrast-rich design in white and blue that is perfectly seen from a long distance. In the same time it has a tremendous detail work, as always when David is painting.
