DGDave's Dyed Disc Depository

[dgdave]

It's also my first attempt at mostly freehand. The tip of the arrow and guide lines are the only places I used a ruler. I may go back and redo the letter with actual measurements.

 

[dgdave]

Some dye got under the vinyl when I dipped it on accident. It looks cool. I wish I could get that look all around the edge. Oh well. On to the next one.

 

[Timko]

XTreme?

 

[dgdave]

C-PD. I'm waiting for more practice before I do any on hard to get stuff.

 

[dgdave]

Here's one I just sketched on a mailing box. It has lots of curves and letters, so it should be a good challenge.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

I absolutely cannot wait to see this one. :shock:

 

[dgdave]

It may be a week or two for that one. I want some more practice first.

The meet thing about that doodle was that it turned out the perfect size for a disc. My wife looked at me like she was asking herself why she married me when she looked at it.

 

[ShankShot]

is that my C-PD?

 

[dgdave]

Nope. Haven't got them yet.

Lookin good man. The only way to find the mistakes and fix em is to make em in the first place.
Congrats on quick progress!

I was gonna post "Stay away from letters and fonts for a while.. They suck" but I never got around to it.

 

[dgdave]

I lied. I went ahead and cut it. I'm really happy. A couple small bleeds around the hands. I did have a couple drops of dye land on the back of the disc from some splash when storing the dye. I didn't notice it until it set in a little.

 

[Timko]

That's a C-PD too?

 

[dgdave]

Yup

 

[dgdave]

I just figured out the tiny bleeds. Its from the deep ass hotstamp. If you've seen the Big D in the Desert stamp, you can see all the tiny details in the center and thats where it bled. It was a black stamp and those were burnt in deeper.

 

[dgdave]

Whipped this up quickly. Up can tell. Quite a few little bleeds. Kinda neat.

 

[keltik1]

that "rubber" stamp is beyond words. EPIC WIN!

keep it up Dave!

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Don't slow down now, Dave!

 

[dgdave]

The Android one's didn't turn out great. They bled around the deep ass hotstamp and the esp didn't take the dye well. I like the others. I tried and sucsessfully got a flared edge on the blue disc with squares, but less than I wanted.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Hey Dave, try the blue one again, but cut out a circle that is smaller than your disc by a half-inch or so and discard all the stuff outside the circle. Then apply to your disc and dye, with a small black frame around the outer edge and no wing bleeding. PM me if I didn't explain it well.

Stupid Discraft ESP stamps. They must employ convicted arsonists to do their hotstamping.

 

[dgdave]

I thought about dying the rim. I wanted the bleeds, I just didn't get enough of them. If you look at a couple pages back, I messed up on the disc with hyzer on it, but I like the effect that it got. I tried to recreate it and did it slightly, just not enough.

Also, the esp discs started peeling really bad when taking the stamp off. It's weird.
