i know of a few people here that can pretty much make a hockey mask to perfection, when talking about accuracy. its not that hard once you get your methods down. and as far as the obsessive-compulsive thing goes, i am ocd and i mean big time. its what it takes to detail a mask correctly.. well that and love for the hobby.
the thing is, if these accuracy-obsessed people actually got a screen used mask, i can almost guarantee thier dissapointment in the quality. the film used hockey masks are pretty much cheap thin props, thrown together in a timely fashion. they don\'t have to look that good because the camera and lighting will make it look more than it is.
dmc gets a lot of slams, but the hockey masks that we mask makers create look so damn good compared to the screen used masks. on film, a dmc Hockey Mask, with their usual \'shotty\' paint jobs and speckled detail that dmc masks seem to be famous for, would look great. in the movies, the masks looks like they have a nice, perfect, smooth, blended look with the color. however, on this forum, there are people like mike, dean, and myself that make mask\'s color look very smooth in person<--very important thing to remember. we could start making them according to how they look in real life, but then we would be considered \'bad at making masks\'.
anyway, we just need to all get along and stop arguing with steve(goaliehack). he\'ll make you feel dumb.
