ChUcK's latest dye...

[BennettUA]

Just....don't.....stop........:::drools on the laptop:::........dyeing...............

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Thanks for the props, I'm really digging this technique as well. Here's one I just finished. I tried to make it look like there was some sort of light source inside the sphere, almost got it but not quite.

I had a bit of a near-disaster with the Eye of Sauron- when I put it in the pan to blacken the wing, the suction cup I was using came right off after the disc was safely floating. I had a little brainstorm and decided that the vacuum cleaner was my best bet to get the disc out of the pan safely. When I went to suck it out, the vacuum nozzle grabbed hold of the disc so violently that it dipped half of the flight plate in the black rit. I swaddled the disc in paper towels and rushed it to the sink, and the dye washed right off. Thanks goodness, it would have been a shame to ruin this baby.

Sauron can see you, Frodo! Take off the ring!

Hmmm, the lack of sunlight is doing my photography skills no justice...

... I think I'm going to have to send you my whole bag at some point...

I got to say that's a outstanding dye job, the coloring is incredible. Kind of reminds me of the tribal butthole thing you were doing earlier, without the tribal part. :lol:

 

[Jeronimo]

You don't press your fingers against the inside of the rim to remove and place the disc ChUck?

 

[whridlsoncestood]

I believe he was doing the rim on the underside of the disc so it was floating face up. No way to grab that one without sticking your hands in rit

 

[ChUcKyZ]

yup. The disc was flight plate up, and I was freaking out.

 

[Jeronimo]

Gotcha, can't see the images thanks to firewall at work. That IS a predicament.

 

[FierceTable]

absolutely sick...I love the light source in the ball...I'm such a sucker for geometric stuff. The Sauron dye shows some incredible technique. Please keep it up and continue posting your work.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Just finished another disc for ...tim?. I told him he has to stop bitching about not having any dyed discs in his bag :lol: . This one (actually all of my discs lately, for quite some time now) I designed myself. I learned all sorts of cool things about circular design lately by trial and error, and this is the best I have drawn yet. This should look pretty cool when spinning through the air. I should have made the outer thorns longer, so both circles of thorns would create dark circles on the spinning disc. Next time.

The Thornbush Thrasher

I really like how the center of this one turned out.

 

[Jeronimo]

I like it. I tend to lean towards dying images that spiral well on discs myself. Vehicle rims can give you some interesting ideas...

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Ooh, that is a damn good idea. Jeronimo, your signature is a lie.

 

[Jeronimo]

Ooh, that is a damn good idea.

That and the more obvious Crop Circles.

Jeronimo, your signature is a lie.

I've come to appreciate my sig... some of Franks homo erotic statements almost replaced it, but I held fast. And resisted.

 

[Jkosk]

I really like how the center of this one turned out.

I love this. The design is great but I especially love the "fire and ice" coloring. They offset each other very well. One of my favorite dyes that I have seen.

 

[ChUcKyZ]

Thanks man. I always appreciate feedback, positive or negative.

Here are the first couple of discs from the Iron Dye challenge I tried this time.

Disc: yellow Star Teebird
Phrase: Spinach
Owner: SpinachD

"A Spinach Can of Whup-Ass"

Disc: white SOLF
Phrase: children playing before a statue of Hercules
Owner: Frank Delicious

"Children Playing Under a Statue of Matt"

The next two are ready to go, just waiting for the Pony Express to get here. 8)

 

[what'shisname]

hahahaha... that Hercules one is great, love the background coloring.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Woooooo!

 

[Spinach D1]

outanding!

ChUcK love your striker dyes and would love to have the artwork files so i can try and copy your masterpieces.

I also thought maybe you could do a USA soccer one too...since the forwards are called strikers...maybe just take the USA flag patch from the uniforms and do a black outline around striker again...anyhow that was my idea just a huge fan of the striker and of your dyes...

I have a clear striker opto, if you need canvas...it has been thrown but still 9/10 cuz opto is bullet proof...

I would like to do a phallic "the dude" one on a tan disc and try to get the tan to look like hardwood...any ideas...want a disc to try it out??? cough cough.....

also the blue gold line I have one of those that i would love to try adn do what you did with yours....

basically i'm a noobie and need to figure out how to do this stuff before i design my own stuff!

thanks.
