thanks guys for the nice words. im pretty happy wih how it came out. it looks even better in person, thevalues are alot easier to see and the colors are more vibrant

i deffenitly suggest trying the acetone/dye paint on method its a blast. but practice on a disc you dont care about first cause its not quite like any other kind of painting lol

 

[ilmcgee]

finished it today, did the powdered rit mixed with acetone and painted it on. way fun!!! i much prefer this way to dipping and waiting. need a repirator tho lol too many fumes even outside. think it turned out good tho for my first color and first painting it on. used demin blue and it turned out grey, woulda liked a little blue in there but o well!

great job, keep it up

are there any "how to" videos for the marbling effect on discs.

Yes, see the thread in this section titled "Marbling Agents".
Dan Howard started it and gives advice, along w/ other folks who tweaked the proccess.

I dyed this for a friend who wanted something to commemorate his service in the military, and his career in the medical field. I figured what better design than the military insignia from one of his units. He mentioned that his favorite time serving was with the 50th General Hospital (decommissioned after the first Desert Storm).

He's extremely happy with the way this one turned out.:thmbup:

A big thanks goes out to Marzac for help with the vectorization on this image.

Thanks, Koogs. I love your wolf/full moon dye. Is the moon stenciled or painted on?

Thanks. It's stenciled and the dark parts are way darker than I wanted. I had no idea that the navy blue would get that dark in only 2 minutes. Live and learn.

 

[burntneuron]

Awesome disc Austin, that's a fantastic design, well done!

Thanks! Remasking this for the various colors proved to be quite challenging!

I hear ya. I need to try shorter dip times to get the desired 'midtones' but its all about the learning experience and the fun along the way. Plus all my dyes so far are my throwers anyways so its not like I'm messing up someone elses plastic Here are a couple that could have been better if my timing was right.

Makes me think I should do something for my Fuse....Like a lit fuse going towards a pile of TNT, that has a Bee and a Roc tied back to back sitting on top of it...

edit: and also, well done Austin!
