I started making dice recently, but I don't understand how to paint the numbers on them. I tried mixing paint with water, but the numbers turn out very strange and sloppy. Could someone please share a tutorial on this? I couldn't find one
Yeah :(
Been trying to sand some masters to get my first usable whole set,
But first 2 Iv done I biffed the edges of the face so they lost there shape :c
So gonna have to drop a bit of money on replacing them, provided there’s no other casualty’s
To keep the edges flat I saw one person mention about using a back and forth motion then a wee bit of a infinity symbol as a treat at the end
(Been doing circles, hand sand without a pottery wheel so far)
Any tips? As all the other post Iv seen on this people seem to lean heavily towards “it art and not needing to be perfect” which with a lot of things I agree, but flat shiney dice face make my monkey nurons activate 🧠🙈👀
Also I want to eventual sell
My first time painting blanks with watercolors! A lot of work but so much fun~
I’ve used a lot of different dice over the years — resin, metal, oversized, tiny ones, even weird novelty dice.
But lately I’ve been thinking: what if there was a dice you could spin instead of roll? Something mechanical. Something tactile. Maybe with bearings, magnets, or some kind of rotating mechanism that still gives a random result.
I know it sounds unnecessary… but honestly that’s exactly why I want one 😂 Curious if anyone else has thought about this before.
Not bad but I think I need some paste pigment to get them mor opaque.
I thought this would be a good idea until I started! Im 3 dice (set of 7) and im ready to hurt myself! Oh and the D20 will take me all day 🤣
I believe I shared these previously, before the ink. I went with red in the end. I was worried it wouldn't show when I was doing it, but it actually pops pretty well. I just finished these last night.
I got a vacuum chamber to make the molds and the dice. Can you explain to me what would be the best method to use it? I placed the resin already mixed to remove all the bubbles, poured the smooth resin into the mold, and put the mold back in the chamber. Did I do something wrong?
I haven't taken them out of the mold because the resin is still flexible
Edited because i dont know how to write lol
Does anyone know how my surfaces got like this, it's the first time it's happened. They're unwanted straight out the pressure pot
I have a pretty good idea how I'm going to do the first two but I'm not sure how I'm going to do the snake inside the dice on the blue one
Finally got my first baby pressure pot so that I can start making some bubble free dice! I’m so excited!!
The concept was a death save dice (11 success/9 failure) with one success and one failure only visible under UV light (natural twenty/natural one). If a blank face came up, the player could choose to skip or reveal. If they reveal, the skull is a critical fail (two save failures) and a heart is a critical success (back up with 1hp). If they skip, the roll is neither a success nor a failure; the turn ends without adding to their track in either direction. I like the sense of theoretical agency it would add to the process, plus the idea of having a qubit die face tickles me somewhat.
The obvious problem is that despite using a "clear" UV ink and using a flat-faceted outer blank, the UV face is still discernable unlit from about two feet away... makes the decision pretty easy. If anyone has any ideas for techniques to make the unlit UV face less readily visible, I'd love to hear them!
I can't decide if it's more glacial with sunken treasure or clouds with glistening skies. Either way, super happy with how this set turned out! I poured 3/4 resin with Blanco Blanco white and used a pipette to inject resin mixed with a chameleon blue mica. Tried a lot of different number colors, but gold was hands down the best for contrast.
Had a few unsuccessful attempts at getting the colours right and some cure fails, but these blanks shelled up real good and the colours are a match!
This bird makes my life hell but he is very cute and funny sometimes and has a fantastic colour palette!
Hello! Looking to find star glitter that isn’t too heavy that is similar to this.
Also any recs on using this glitter would be appreciated, I know honey stage is recommended but if there are any other tips I’d appreciate it!
I believe these dice are from dark moon goblin, I’m not sure though!
Can anyone recommend a good pressure pot, preferably something I can get off Amazon that won't wreck my bank account. Already previously spent money on a vacuum chamber only to learn that was a mistake lol
I called them Midnight Frost.
It's a pretty old set, I casted it 2 years ago, but only finished it recently.
Enjoy :D
