The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[mcodyclapp]

A couple quick ones I did for a friend today. Nothing spectacular, but they tuned out nicely.

Did some stuff well. Did some other stuff not-so-well.

If I start going into detail I will end up with a massively huge post, so I will just say that overall I am happy with it. I wish I had a second chance at a lot of stuff, but that's how it goes.

I have about 25 pictures throughout the process - if people are interested I can post a full write up in a different thread. Let me know.

The pics below are (1) as far as the first mask took me, and (2) as far as the second mask took me. It was done with only the 1 remask.

Amazing work. Great composition and use of color! Great work, definitely one of the coolest I've ever seen here. I'd definitely be interested in your own "making of" thread. Once again, well done.

Just scroll down the page a few posts then it starts with #374.

There is a step by step write up with several pics to follow.

It's no roggen dye, but I finally finished a long overdue dye on a GL Jade.

DTP, your eyeball dyes are really nice. It's a little disturbing how real they look at first glance. Additionally, I want to say that the level of dyes in this thread just keep going up and up. It's really amazing how refined some of you guys have become.

So I haven't been on here in a while and what an awesome couple of last posts I must say...Great work Roggen and DTP! What an insane level of detail on that Aztec/space/time dye...Wish I had the patience to pull something like that off! Killer eyeball as well DTP! Love the greens in that iris.

Here's one I just did for my bag...a shot out to James Burton and Rydyes for a little extra inspiration to try something new (new technique for me anyways). Also thanks for the various tips you both shared with me.

I always say a fresh dye adds at least 50' to your drives...haha!

^Green with envy? Don't be Jaded :\ I'll share :hfive:
There really is no exact science and I'm not sure how well it would translate to dipping colors but with my acetone painting technique the secret ingredient is the non scented chartreuse spike it worm dye.
I started with a gradient from pupil outward (spin dye) of acetone with a little green Idye powder and a few drops of the spike it dye to get the warm yellow green 'background' which gets a little darker towards the outside of the iris. Next was basically the same mix but added a little more green powder to darken it some. After that I followed up with straight green powder and acetone for a few million tiny brushstrokes to start to build up the color. For the darkest shades I added a pinch of Idye blue powder to my green mix.
I was working with just a very small amount of dye mix at a time and found that I had to constantly add a few drops at a time of clear acetone to the mix to keep a consistent color as the 'paint' quickly evaporated while I was working.
Basically it's watercolor painting.....always adding and mixing and plenty of testing of the colors on a clean paper towel before committing the brush to the plastic.

So great, and from THE dye paint master. Good to know how well the iDye green works, even if it's painting and not dipping, it WORKS!
