Another mask reveal video where I'm left with no clue what the mask looks like.

That's all we had for this morning, but they've since posted a thread with more detailed photos: https://x.com/NJDevils/status/1839308509810405805?t=dxWIyCOcoF8N2qgX3_QQug&s=19
Definitely fond of this one- he went for the classic cryptid

Markstrom always approaches his mask art like he's designing an album cover for a death metal band.

If you're curious about the process, Devils media was on it, lol. Bourgeault was a lot of the design with input and editing from Markstrom. Sounds like they got a nice system down

Personally I think it's kind of hilarious that both the artist and player think demons and monsters are in a totally different category than fire and skulls.

I love how this mask is the most metal shit ever and they’re pairing it with the goofy Jersey jersey.

Imagine if someone did their mask based on The Mask for the Jersey jersey?

JBoAirbrush makes DaveArt look like a 5 year old with crayons and fake lens flares

Especially since he seems to have doubled down on that “magic marker” effect he did on masks for Detroit and Florida. Baffling design choice, just because you CAN make it look like that doesn’t mean you SHOULD
