The Netminder's Brush

2012 seemed like ages ago - where did all the time go?

Will you join the tribe?

Hey guys!  I'm trying out a new project on YouTube! Come join me over on my channel - The Netminder's Brush - for occasional livestreams, as I develop goalie mask concepts. Right now, I am working on some original concepts to introduce into Goalie GO eventually. At the time of writing this, I am illustrating the "Route 66" mask! I'll admit, the streams are not exactly polished -  YET - but I hope to have a quality stream further down the road! Oh, and I don't exactly have a streaming schedule yet - so make sure to subscribe if you want to follow along! See you there, hopefully!

This mask design generated by Google Gemini is impressive.

This mask smells like cherries.

Here's a look at another goalie mask design generated by Google Gemini.

This one's awesome.

As I was developing the iOS app, Goalie GO - I realized I couldn't include much of the concepts I had created within the application, because they would infringe on copyrights, and likely be rejected from the App Store. As such, I decided to experiment with AI tools (like ChatGPT and Google Gemini) to create mask designs. Google Gemini was the clear winner, in this case. I imported the texture PNG file into Gemini and inputted my prompts. The upcoming series of blogposts (including this one) - showcases the results of Gemini designing goalie masks. In no particular order, here is the first concept: "Vintage Map". What do you think?

This was supposed to be a three-headed troll. I got lazy.

A while back, I mentioned that I was going to reveal my favourite mask concept that I've designed over the past few years. Here it is...

A glimpse into my mind: "Unfinished business. A tradition of excellence. Double dipping carrots. USS Kitty Hawk." These are the thoughts that come to mind, when I think about this mask.

I don't walk on water. I walk on the sky.

You are the one. Not me, you.

While you sleep, I play. While you work, I play. While you do everything, I play.

To be, or not to be.

My blood.

Have I been to Paris? I'm not bragging when I say this - but I honestly don't know.

I used to smoke Marlboro Golds.   I used to ride Ninjas.  I used to gamble. One day, we'll be back at Route 86, brother.
