The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

Star Valk!

Sweet! Really good job on the skin. What formula did you use to get that good of skin tone?

Thanks! I used crimson red mixed with water. Dabbed it on and waited a few seconds then wiped it off. I was afraid I got it a little too red but when I cleaned up with rubbing alcohol it went back to what I wanted!

The top left in the image has some harsh lines I didn't want but I think they blend in with the background!

Might have to try that. Gotta dye I'm gonna do that involves skin. Looks good...it all blends in really well.

Was able to clean up the "harsh spot" with like 2 hrs of scrubbing acetone! Few, I'm sweaty.

Posting for former Okthrowberfest winner Rob Edwards, pumping out some great dyes lately!

Man, you guys make this thread such a great place to see sick dyes. :thmbup:

 

[TwoChain]

Birthday gift for my sister. Glow Nuke SS.

 

[Reniger]

TwoChain, that is SO AWESOME I'M GONNA DIE! Solid background and a good stencil. I always respect the perfect stencils, but, as a total amateur dyer, I love seeing something that doesn't look perfect so you can tell it's done by hand. Shows more care and love for that disc in particular.

Plus, I have not seen enough Despicable Me dyes. Too good not to respect!

Cheers, mate!

PS: Your sister throws a Nuke? We got a badass over here!

@Reniger

Thanks! Well, it's a Nuke SS and is super flippy. I like a flippy disc like a sidewinder but this thing was off the chart flippy. She is new so this is a really good starter disc

I know I rushed it a little because I only had 2 days. But I did learn that I can make a color change and patch a spot with no bleed. The bleed I see in the yellow, I know exactly what happened. Huge bubble that turned into a tunnel.

It was hard to make some solid colors because the stamp was a miss print with lots of clear indents.

Easy to spot your mistakes but she was very happy!

Just finished my groomsman gifts, and couldn't sleep last night so I got in a quicky with akuma..... hmmm, phrasing....

Let´s post some Star Wars love here too.

 

[Disc Down]

Incredible Hulk that was an incredible pain to hand cut. It's on my thrower saint.

 

[Chines]

This is my second dye, first stencil dye. Didn't quite get all the gunk off the disc so there is a few red patches.

Diabolicum, That trooper is sweet!:thmbup:

Here's one I am working on, but I'd like some feedback on what I should do with the background. My plan was to do a light and dark blue SC with a 1/8" white stroke around the logo and a 1/2" black outer ring, but I'm open to other ideas.

It's on a double stamped Opto XXX, and the stamps were pretty deep! Got a couple small bleeds, and a couple of small spots where there is still some foil stamp showing. The spot at the bottom of the "S" was from factory. Tried hiding it, but missed. It's for me, so that's not much of a bother to me.

Peace,

Nice work on the cutting DD!:thmbup:

My wrist hurts just thinking about cutting that!

Oh god. Sunnyvale Samsquanches! Brilliant! Just needs Bub's glasses peeking over the Squanch or some kitties. The SC would look good with some black spin. Maybe another color, though? A dark red or bright green might make the blue of the logo pop more.

Thank you very much sir. I think sc on yours is the way to go. How do you plan on doing the 1/8th of an inch stroke around the logo? Just simply eyeballing it, or do you have a way to measure exact?

Just hand cut and eyeball. Thinking back, I would have added it to the original file used for the mask. If I wanted to be exact, I would use some striping tape as a guide, but I think I can get it close enough.

If you could pull into your magic hat and somehow make it look like reflections on ice.
