A black, red and gold dice set in a video published on German Unity Day? Thank you for this special gift on our national holiday. It's been a wild ride this last 30 years, but the best is still to come.
I will 100% pretend that I planned such an amazing coincidence.
Guten Tag from the U.S. my German friend. I have buddies out in Frankfurt, so I wish you the best of your day of unity!
Ooh I didn't even realize! That makes me really happy!
Grüße from Germany!
Me: goes through 8+ sets trying to figure this out on my own
Rybonator : puts out a tutorial 3 days after I figure it out
Puns into dirty jokes, color me impressed.
Question, got any halloween themed idea for thid month? Because I'd love to see your take on jack'o lantern dice
I have done 'pumpkin' dice before in my Giant pumpkin one, and this halloween I have a few things planned. But if I can fit that it, I totally will :)
@@Rybonator sweet, I'll be looking forward to what you got
@@Rybonator what if instead of dice you made, hear me out,dice hats. Hats that fit into different dice.
@@themaidenlesswretch7819 Make them fedoras and I would spend way too much money on them.
@@whitelasagna6786 Lmao.
I love the chaotic variety you get with dice sets like these. It's a really interesting way to get a cohesive colour scheme but keep all the different dice looking unique and different from each other
Right? Nothing is the same, but they are all united in one theme :)
I just wanna add to the mica convo; there’s not really a good way to source mica ethically because companies will purchase mica mined by children and bury its purchase in an “ethical” mine then sell to companies like mad mica. I’m sure mad mica is doing a good job of *trying* to ensure they source ethically but it’s not realistic. Synthetic mica is just as pretty and doesn’t come with the implication of child labor. I only recently learned this myself so there’s no bashing coming from me just wanted to put the information out there. I appreciate your conscious effort none the less!! 😍
That's good to know, thanks Savvy! I'll look further into this, and see if there is even more I can do :)
Mad mica is AMAZING. I started off using them in bath bombs, and started using them in resin. So good :)
The colors are absolutely phenomenal :)
Is that safe? I thought mica powders were dangerous?
@@silg7262 Yes, that's safe. You have to pay attention to what they're allowed to be used for. Such as, I could use neon mica in resin, but not if I was making bath bombs.
I've seen ppl use Mad Micas in soap, and they're stunning!
@@MoonsEternity just make sure you don't breathe the mica itself, way to get yourself some miner's lung if you're not careful :P
Would you be able to do a video trying to make dice without a pressure pot?? Maybe giving some tips to those of us who don’t have access to one (it’s hard to find a decently affordable one here in Canada)
I actually have that planned for in the next few months! Stay tuned :)
@@Rybonator Awesome! Looking forward to it
Just make your own it might not reach extreme pressure but it will still help
@@ShugoAWay I mean, making your own pressure pot still takes materials that aren't necessarily readily affordable or available to a lot of folks. Dice making's kind of an expensive hobby to get into so a video about making them without the aid of a pressure pot would still be useful.
@@tympestbooks1727 then probably just buy some chessex and paint thinner to repaint em cheap but customizable
I love how you inked the one with the rosy gold! It looks so dang good!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the look :)
Nice going on keeping the dirty jokes pg-ish! I salute you sir! The colors you chose in the first set remind me of starry night and I love it! Awesome job as usual!
It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it :)
Also thank you Verity!
Ooh I love your among us pfp, that picrew is awesome (I also play orange)
Pearlshine 9621 Thank you! Yeah I prefer to just be an innocent carrot, though it doesn’t save me from suspicion lol
Seeing that I'm early on the video, just wanna say thank you, Rybonator! Without you, I wouldn't have started in this hobby that I love so much! I definitely spent a lot more than I would if I simply bought dice, but the fun I have is worth every penny!
I never thought that I'd be the artistic type, but guess I was wrong! Thank you! You are awesome!
No YOU are awesome Kaue :) I'm glad you found a hobby that you love! It's a wonderful feeling :) Have a great day my friend!
@@Rybonator It sure is! Have a great day too! :D
I love this. Keep doing what you like to do, Kaue! We all need some good hobbies in times like these
I've had a lot of trouble with this method of dirty pouring. By adding the alcohol ink on top of the resin before pouring I ended up with soft dice that wouldn't fully cure (similar to his issue during his petri video). The method that worked better for me was pouring small cups of fully mixed different colored resin into one larger cup to make layers. Saw it in a GarageQuest video on youtube. Gave me much better results.
I love this method! The layering kinda reminds me of Damascus steel which is such a neat combo!
Also the blue ones give me a Van Gogh vibe and the rotten watermelon d6 is still slightly cute
Man, Damascus steel did would be sick. But regular metal is expensive on its own, though. Can you imagine how expensive it would be?
@@themaidenlesswretch7819 That would be spendy, maybe just a jumbo d20 out of that would be enough over a whole set? (and more affordable?)
@@redfox5109 I mean, yeah, but it'd cost a lot more than a nice set of chessex.
@@redfox5109 ok, just realized how taboo that statement was. let me rephrase. a nice LOOKING set of chessex. my set is literally skewed towards rolling three's, but it looks so nice.
@@themaidenlesswretch7819 I feel that
stealing the phrase always a bridesmaid and never a bride for all future craft fails from here on out
I look forward to hearing it in your vids xD
omg, this is the look I've been trying to get ALL ALONG, I never knew it was this easy!
BOOM! Lucky timing :)
I'd say even with the origins of your old mica powder, you might as well use it up; otherwise it's a bunch of little bits that won't decompose ending up in the water, or you have it sitting around forever. Besides, you've already paid for it, the company doesn't care what you do with it. The best option is just to not buy more when it's gone, and probably mention when you do use it that you're just trying to use it up. Or even limit it to personal projects you don't record, to save the effort there.
I tried making my own sets of dice, the microcbubbles proved to be too large, so inking was hardly possible, and i was using an early type of sprue method with no toothpick, i am currently about to buy a pressure pot and make new molds.
Can't wait to see what you make with your pressure pot! :)
@@Rybonator Thanks!
@@Rybonator Also what do you think the best way to get masters without a 3d printer is?
@@tort2305 do you want custom designs?
@@harrysteel864 Not necessarily, I just want sharp edged, my current molds have rounded, and I think sharp looks better.
So I have some tips: (hit me up on Facebook under PartyPaladinDice if you wanna talk, I would love sharing tips and tricks among us)
- It can help to make dirty pour dice in 2 batches, because it talkes longer to pour them. This way your last dice are still as flowy as the first dice.
- I use the small silicone cups with a spout to pour each individual die. And repeat the dropping of color process for each die individually. This way the dice are more uniform, even though this technique does whatever it wants so it's not foolproof.
- if you add a small layer of clear, the resin you pour in after will look encapsulated in the clear (if that's the effect you want)
- if you add clear in your pour cup, you get more depth and possible windows in your dice. You will have swirls inside too, not just at the surface of the die. (see my spring set for examples)
I am thankful for these tips!! Thank you! I may do this riiiiight now!
Trying not to cry after spotting my sticker on the pressure pot...
Gotta represent :)
I'm glad when you realized your old manufacturer's used child for mica you switched. Mad respect
Oooooh some of those blue and gold dice look like you took the Starry Night painting and squished it into a dice set
Right? I didn't even have to lose an ear! :)
Would you be able to tell us what brands use child labor? So we can avoid them as well.
Hey there, I’ve started making dice with your videos this year January, and i want to thank you! I’ve learned so much from you and grew so so much!!
Since i cannot afford a pressure pot I want to give a tip for people who aren’t using one:
Invest in a heat gun and heat your mixed resin in the mixing cup and let it stand for a good five minutes for the bubbles to leave before pouring, it works wonders! Even if you don’t buy a heat gun, let the resin rest before and after pouring (but before putting on the cap!!!)
Also i wanted to ask if you could possibly make a tutorial on vent squish moulds, @rybonator?
It's amazing how you publish your tutorials exactly when i want to learn a new dice making technique ! I love this channel
Just tell me when you need something new, I'll get it out the next day for ya :P Also thanks :)
@@Rybonator thanks you're awsome :)
I found your channel 3 days ago and started watching a lot of your videos, I really didn't think I would enjoy something like dice making because honestly, I've never been that much of a crafter, but you got me on all sides, my love for D&D, super pretty dice and absolutely fantastic videos, not to mention you being super humble! love it love it love it!
"Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Am I right ladies?"
Aha! Jokes on my whole friend group, I was the FIRST bride
Anyone else watch these and fantasize about making your own dice but you can because equipment is expensive?
Yiu can start inexpensively and work your way up. I started in January with only about a $50 investment, using UV resin, then progressed to 2 part resin, then added a pressure pot in July.
I love Mad Mica, I use them in soap. But, just so you know, only natural mica is sourced by child labor. Most micas are synthetic however, especially the less expensive brands. You can always check a manufacturer's site to find out if the mica is natural or synthetic, and if they're certified ethically sourced if natural. Mad Micas is amazing though, I would definitely recommend!
Oh wow I was literally looking for explanations on how to do that yesterday and didn't find anything good!
Badabing badaboom! Perfect timing :)
“Mr. Clean dice” LMAO, but great dice! They look real nice!
I don't think i could make those dice myself ... i would stare at this beautiful blue swirl until it hardened on its own.
Right? The swirling was so much fun :)
I was always hesitant about the mica usage because of where it comes from but I'm relieved you're making the switch
Ayyy these look exactly like Lapis Lazuli
Perfect timing for Steve from Minecraft being in smash :)
Alternate title for this vid “How to make Xenia and Tehm themed dice” 😉
I think that white mixative would make a cool snow flake effect
if Rybonator has Patrons does that make him a Warlock?
You should look at some of the mica's used in soap work. Royalty Soap actually uses a lot of Mad Mica and she also buys for sustainability
That dwarvish inspired set is just beautiful!! I love how you can really see a difference between each but they all still mesh together thematically so well. Every time I watch one of your videos I'm so tempted to invest the time and money into starting making dice beyond UV resin in pop cap molds ... you terrible, terrible enabler, you.
So excited to learn about Mad Micas (as well as some new techniques)! I'm just getting into dice making and had yet to purchase any mica pigments, since I was aware of the ethical concerns and hadn't tracked down a good source yet. Thank you for the recommendation!
It's crazy to me to see mad micas here. I make soap, and we use mica to color the soap. It looks like you got the royal beginner collection too! That's based on a youtube soaper called Royalty Soaps. Anyways, white alcohol ink/mixative, is titanium dioxide (also something we use in soap) and the alcohol base. The alcohol is drying on the surface, so the TD is sticking together to create that film. You might have better luck if you mix in the white alcohol with a toothpick.
Oh awesome! Thank you for the more scientific explanation of what's going on :) I appreciate it! I'll have to try your version with the toothpick
Sorry Rybonator, I know I'm late. I didn't mean to do ya dirty like that. I'll come clean and say I was busy doing the dirty work at my day job. I'll accept punishment for my grime now.
*Golf Clap* well done with the puns my friend
The white mixative is pretty cool and I'm sure you could make some great snowflake obsidian inspired dice with them.
Do you have a 3D printer? If you ever wanted, you could sculpt one and it’ll be your own dice. Could have funny numbers, like a skull for 1 haha. I’d print a set for you and send you them. Could then make moulds of them
I totes have a 3D printer :) That's why these dice have my Dice Goblin on them! I just can't design dice all that well haha. Thank you though!
That red and black dice set... wow!! I love both sets! This is a great video! (Red and black and gold are my favourite mix for things!)
I'm glad you like them! I'm a Purple and Gold fan myself :)
Question: why don't the spots of pure alcohol ink cause problems with the resin hardening?
It cam but he seems to specialize in dice for the shelf not balanced dice for rolling
How many dice total have you made?
Oh gosh, not as many as the dice makers who sell dice, but easily 1000 individual dice
the white on the blue set looks awesome, and I particularly love that you share my love for readable dice. You'd think it would be the norm but damn some people make hard to read dice.
I have a friend who owns a black set of dice. They are black, the numbers are etched into it. No colour for them, just black. Hard to read from up close, almost impossible from a distance.
Nothing like a morning video to enjoy my coffee to. I plan to use this method to make myself some dice for my Barb, Grey/black with red ink
Good Morning my friend :) Can't wait to see the rocking barbarian dice!
@@Rybonator I will be sure to put them in dice showcase once finished. :)
I just found your page for the first time and I’m so happy about that! Been messing with new resin things and this is really helpful info
Glad you like what I do Alexis! Hope you continue to enjoy!
Could you make dice that have wire in the edges and corners?
Ohh that's a cool idea... Let me think on how I might do that :)
BIF HAP EEAHAHA AHA DYCE E EA AHHEEE YES oplyafduad I men upolaud
Dirty ;)
Such dirty dice
11:02 the left one / d100 is pretty neat, looks like sediment layers or something!
Right? I really like the look of it :)
Try using the Vallejo Gold, you may like it better!
Always happy to try new gold :)
I realize this is quite an old video, but I'm wondering what the results would have been, or the approximate difference you would have got had you not used the mica base? Would you have gotten all the same colors but just, more translucent? And also, less mica would be more/less opaque depending on amount used?
You're correct! However, sometimes with 2 transparent colors, they simply blend together and you lose both colors.
@@Rybonator ok great! I've never made dice before so I know there will be some experimenting as well. My only other question is, do you ever just make a single, or 2 dice at a time? Like mix a very very very small amount of resin, or is it more difficult to do it in tiny quantities?
That transition tho. Haha!
Love this set! I just pulled the trigger on a pressure pot and air compressor. Looking forward to trying this method!
Oh awesome! Can't wait to see your take on it Spencer :)
So do you do this as a hobby or as a job? Like obviously it is a job because of TH-cam, but did you get into this to sell dice or as a hobby?
Totally as a hobby :) When I started there were not many resources for learning how to make dice, so I wanted to show my learning process! I still don't sell dice, just make tutorials :)
I love your channel
Thanks Cookies! I love you name, so we are even :)
I would like to see what you can do without a pressure pot or vacuum chamber
It's on my to-do list by the end of the year :)
I love this darn it...I want to start making dice now.
Hmm this isn't the video I thought u were gone a make, but still awesome!! The blue one looks so cool!!
Also the d12 looks like a desert and the sky, maybe full af deadly beasts and extremely hot ;)
Oh yeah? Well at least it turned out ok :)
@@Rybonator I thought this was gonna be the spoopy video because the pumpkin twintig (:
Any advice for when the ink just keeps everything too soft and the casting fails? I'm 0-2
water in the ink instead of alcohol? when resin has to much water in it it prevents it curing 100% if i recall collectly
I thought what I have is alcohol ink. This is what I am using : www.amazon.com/HXDZFX-Colorant-Transparent-Pigment-Jewelry/dp/B0837K7PFF
Lol. "AND DID SOMEBODY SAY SKILLSHARE?!?!?!"
Priceless.
Wow that blue D20, what an amazing look. Love to own a full set with that style. Another great video Rybo, thanks for sharing !!
I've accidentally been doing this for the last 2 weeks lol @dangeruno on Instagram!
Oh nice! haha :) Happy lil accident
@@Rybonator All the time lol, thanks for dropping ALL THE KNOWLEDGE on me dude.
its the funny thing about those swirly shiny dice... I never consistently like a whole set. Hence why I don't buy them generally... I prefer unique single colored dice, if I can ever get any as a lot of people don't make them as they're not popular enough, opaque non metalics for swirly, in more candy type colors (there was a great ice cream set recently on kickstarter) and frosted dice.
But... I absolutely love the design of your dice, and some of those dwarvens were lovely colors....
Great channel, great video... am I right ladies? ;) :D
cannot recommend coming to the red wagon inn enough. the community is so caring and wonderful, and the dice are always very pretty
Thanks for this tutorial! Dirty pours are my nemesis. Galaxy dice? Nat 20s. Dirty pours? Nat 1s.
Bone and trumpet theme dice?
*_DOOT DOOT_*
Spoopy dice coming :)
What are some other good dump mold ideas besides boxes/lids?
I made Resin Miniature Bases as well for my dumps :)
When i dirty pour, i treat the resin like acrylic paints or soap- i mix the colors into separate cups with a little resin and then add them in layers into a pour cup- that way you never have to worry about them being soft from not quite well mixed inks
But this method is probably better if you prefer the look of smaller streaks
Same!
A possible suggestion for a future video? I recently discovered the ancient Royal Game of Ur and instead of buying a game, I want to build it. What I would like to learn is, how to pour the four, D4 dice needed with no numbers BUT....with two white(or off-color)corners. Yea, I could paint the corners but well...you know. lol It would be awesome to be able to pour the corners , then the rest in a 'nail polish color' called ''Vamp'', which has a red base with a thin black overcoat, so the red 'bleeds' through like an under-painting and then two bright red corner tips on each one. Thanks for any help and keep up the good work with the awesome videos!
Those. Are. Awesome! But again, how did that combo sprue/squish d20 turn out? And would that technique have worked here?
hella clean
Squeaky Clean!
Thanks for mentioning the Mica issue, I don't always read the comments so if you hadn't said I'd probably be buying cheap and exploitative mica without ever knowing
But if you use “liquid pigment” change something or it’s the same thing of alcohol ink?
I haven't tried it with liquid pigment, I assume it would work the same?
Rybonator oh ok, thank you for your response, I’ll try it anyway cause I don’t have alcohol ink 😁
I'd love to see some amber colored dice with mosquitos in them, like jurassic park!
I have been wanting to do that for ages, but haven't found good mosquitos!
@@Rybonator Set out some of those sticky rat traps, who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and some sort of bug will step in it!
How about a video comparing the results of pressurizing resin at different psi's? 10 psi, 20 psi, etc.?
Awesome work Rybonator, Love your work
Sorry, odd request, but could you do a "Mystery Men" styled dice? Like the bowling Ball with the skull in it? I know of a guy who makes skulls but they would be better suited for your giant D20 die. He goes by DaveyDog on Instagram, he is in Australia but I can guarantee that he would love to help out.
Thanks Argos! Glad you like what I do :)
@@ArgosDahaka I haven't done anything like that, but I'll check him out!
Just wondering why you use the white snow cap mixative instead of The actual white alcohol ink that would push the colours down and not have that clumping issue you were concerned about. The Jacquard is what I always use for my white , regardless of the other brands of alcohol ink that I'm using in a project. I wonder if that would make a difference..
Idk man, those dirty pours are pretty sexy to me!
Different kinda sexy for a different kinda dirty haha :)
I finally tried this method today on a coffin trinket box. I can hardly wait to see how it turns out. I might use my S&T dice molds to try this for dice.
They look so good. My favorite is the blue set
I think the blue might be my fave too :)
if only there was a shop who made their own dice and done dice workshops you could take part of and make your own dice sets. i would love to do that
i started making dice bags last year and i haven't made any new bags in a while since fabrics are expensive and i was looking for a specific pattern that i can't find in any of the fabric shops in my city, so i guess i gotta look for it online
Uh oh, you shouldn't use Mad Mica powder either. They profit off of goblin labor in Azeroth
How do you get this right with giant dice? I thought it would be a matter of doing the same thing, but that isn't the case - the colours end up blending. I use a resin that takes 2 days to cure. I can get this right for a giant d20 if I use a more exothermic resin and pour when the resin has heated up. The drawback is that the faster cure time (2 hours) leads to fine surface bubbles (and that's with a pressure pot). I'd be grateful for any advice.
Not that I disagree with you not supporting companies that use child labor, but did you verify the claim?
I was mixing by weight fpr my first few sets. I couldn't for the life of my figure out why they wouldnt set 😅
_uses a colour called "always a bridesmaid"_ "it's a little more pink than i expected" :'D
I have a nightstand I painted with an acrylic paint dirty pour technique and it looks incredible. I'd love to do some dice like this.
I'm new to this hobby (just got my molds and stuff today) and im curious if something like this can be done with a transparent base?
I just found your channel and I love it. I make resin keychain and ashtrays and things like that so I love learning new techniques!
Lmao at that ad transition. Like snort-laughed out loud in my very quiet and very professional work environment. So good hahaha.
Someone who recognizes the flaws and things and doesn't ignore them, what is this sorcery?
i am a bit worried about the statistical correctness of the dice, seeing as the faces have indentations for the numbers which leads to weight differences for them, thus possibly favoring the face with "more hole".
would it be possible to not ink the dice, but fill up the holes with (UV?)resin of a different color and thus achieve uniform mass distribution?
Can you use any paint? You seem to have game paint, normal paint, and acrylic paint used for the numbers. I want to make sure to get the correct paint.
That red D6 looks like it’s a new black Watermelon for Halloween
I had been mulling over the blood dice, why not make fake blood instead of using your/animal blood, there are some recipes that mimic real blood and some are edible as it uses corn syrup and other things, why I was thinking it overs was trying to think what the effect some of the fake blood would have with the resin and the curing process.
Hi everyone! I tried to use this technique, but the alcohol based color spread way too fast, so i didn't get the layers. Any advice or tips that can help me?
It is super good you use well sourced mica but my personal opinion is that its kinda wasteful to not use the rest of what you have since you already got it. But you gotta follow your own beliefs
Also the dice are lovely, if you done the blue dice in gold it wouldve been super lapis lazuli esque
I didn't just throw the other stuff out, but on a Social Platform like this, I'll plan to only use the ethical stuff so that others can be aware :) Instead of wasting the other Micas, I can experiment with them off camera
Also thank you! We'll pretend the Lapis Lazuli was to commemorate Steve joining Smash Bros :)
@@Rybonator thats what i was hoping to hear :)
