Easily the proudest I have been with a set of Dice in a while! Love how these turned out. I guess you could say they won't leave a STAIN on my legacy ;)
Your puns are on point!
@@Amberthyme agreed 😁
@@tamagothchic YEAH THE CHROME PEN!!!!
You are the dice MASTER!
I Dare You To Try Making Dice With Fineline Felt Tip Pens...
There Is Always Something Special With How The Ink With Fineliner Pens By Artline Looks:3
I'd Link You A Image But With How CZcams Hates Links Now... Just Look Up Artline Pens...
I Normally Do Color-In Art With Colors Of Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple And Black...
This would really cool to see you revisit this idea but only with cyan, magenta, and yellow. The colors would be brighter and pop more. The D6 will look like a super mini CMY cube, but I'd really be looking forward to seeing how the others would turn out given the multiple faces for light to pass through.
I was gonna say "could this technique be used to make a resin CMY cube?"
Ink it with black to get the K
I'm glad someone else was thinking about how cool the CMY color scheme would look. I've seen on the CMY website that they make all the platonic solids now, and they would be absolutely incredible as dice!
I'm not sure if you can color a dice that has more faces then a d6 with only 3 colors without having two adjacent faces be the same color. 4 should work, like the minimum number of colors to paint a map with more then 6 countries is 4. Maybe use those 3 and leave the other "color" as clear.
@@marpheus1 as someone whovhas made this mistake.. yup. haha. leaving one blank and doing multiples of 4 might work best. or you can do different color families. my d10s were cool and tones. d6 primary, d4 warm and d8 warm, d20 rainbow explosion.
It’s always so satisfying when a “poor man’s method” of doing things looks as incredible as this. Great stuff!
While the rule of thumb is "there's no price for quality", this was certainly an amazing result and the way the way the line shines through each dice is priceless.
PS: You rock the baldness, no one can say otherwise
Hearting the comment for your PS ;D
Ahh stained glass is one of my favorite things in the world. Seriously I could sit in front of a cathedral rose window for hours. I absolutely love seeing people trying to incorporate stained glass into dice. Even with just sharpie these turned out beautifully. Amazing job! Honestly even the little lines from the sharpie marks remind me of the swirls you get in real stained glass. So cool!
Thanks Verity :) I'm glad you like them so much. And YES! Stained glass aesthetics are amazing
Since you've said in a few videos now that a set of dice is a contender for your favorite, have you ever thought of doing a ranking video for your favorites of the dice you've made?
Feel free to ignore me if you want to/aren't interested in doing it, but I thought it might be a fun video idea if you were interested
If people are interested in me pulling out some of my old ones for a comparison, I can do that. Just didn't know if people would care :)
@@Rybonator I think that would be a fun idea
@@Rybonator That sounds cool, I'm also curious to hear a retrospective on some old dice
Ex. Has your opinion on the set changed? If you were to do this set again, what might you do differently? What are some things you still want to try with that style? Etc.
@@Rybonator You know what does big numbers on youtube? List videos. Top-10 videos. Especially if you haven't overdone them yet. I think a Top 10 Rybodice video would be really appealing, help us appreciate all the sets that you have made, and it would naturally flow the audience into the videos for any of the dice sets they hadn't watched yet. Win win win!
@@Rybonator I would love to see a video of your old dice, especially if you did what another person suggested and talk about what you might do differently if you were to make it now and how your feelings about it have changed
Having made these last year, I found that it looks a little cleaner when you have matching colors on opposite facets. 'Clear' facets also help with the d12 & d20.
I prevented sharpie lift-off with a clear varnish coat on the cores.
…oh my goodness…these are GORGEOUS like heck!!!!!
I love these so much!!!!! Such a cool idea and you pulled it off perfectly!!!!!
They look like stained glass/crazy gem stones. Like I can usually resist wanting to eat dice, but when you said they look like jolly ranchers…that’s all I could imagine.
Maybe…just maybe sticking with this theme you could try greenhouse or terrarium dice?
I love the way these turned out, they are very reminiscent of CMY Cubes!
Oh yeah 100% I have one and that's what I was thinking. I would love to see Rybonater make a CMY color cube dice set With Cyan Magenta And Yellow film or something like that
Oh I had never heard of that but looked it up based on your comment. I wanna make some of those somehow! haha
to protect the sharpie layer from bleeding when it touches the resin, i'd recommend using a quick-drying acrylic spray as an extra barrier. clearly, the bleeding doesn't seem to be a problem of you work fast and avoid handling the sharpie layer too much to begin with, but for clumsy folks like me the extra step might be worth it
Looks fantastic! They remind me of a colored glass prism my friend has, with all the colors shifting... such a cool idea
Thanks Mentali :D Glad you like them. I agree, the color shifting is just super cool!
Those look amazing, I would love to see them with a copper or a pewter inking similar to what you'd see with actual stained glass
I was thinking something similar in regards to the edges - rather than doing it with black sharpie, which would easily get lost, doing it with something like a liquid chrome pen might go a long way to get a really authentic stained glass vibe.
These are gorgeous! The physicist in me is having a lot of fun seeing how the different colours interact with the transparent sides
Sharpie is an alcohol based ink, I believe. These are gorgeous.
You're correct.
Time to break out my gothic-gaudy preacher cleric.
YEESSSSS. Preacher clerics are rad af
The dice look fantastic!!
Here is a little tip. You can get that transparent look with acrylic paint, you just add some school glue and water to the colours.
I need to learn how to cold work optical grade borosilicate glass... You can do some really neat stuff cutting bars of borosilicate and gluing dichroic glass inside. The glue is just UV glue, so if you have a black light (or a lot of sun as my state does), glue up isn't hard. It's all the Mudder Fudding Sanding and cutting that goes into the project.
I totally get why you didn’t put the black on the edges, I do think using paint rather than sharpie for it will make it less annoying, and will add dimension to it as it will art the, for lack of a better word, line art that separates stained glass art. No pressure but would love to see it!
I might take a second crack at it to see if you can do it with other paints :)
@@Rybonator Clear glue and food coloring maybe? or just alcohol ink?
I’ve been lurking for years, but I just gotta say, these are the most gorgeous die I’ve ever seen
This is so frickin beautiful!! I love prism glass style dice and these here come really close in looks 😍😍
No u :)
Also thank you haha
Those look awesome, I have to try that now!
If you're looking for any theme suggestions, have you tried Geode dice yet? It's what I've been doing with my shell molds recently, and although it takes *so* much work, it turns out so good!
In case you haven't seen any before, my personal favorite method is to cast my cores in white/marble resin, in a dark mica-powder-dusted mold, to give the look of an opaque white stone with a darker stone exterior. Then I take a Dremel/rotary tool and carve out a cavity from each core, making a deep hollow space centered on one face and removing almost a third of the die overall (alternatively you can cast your cores only 2/3 full and do less carving, and then airbrush or paint your dark surface on the remaining faces later. Probably much easier, and it gives you a way to re-use cores that had big bubbles in them, but I like the finish I get from a dusted mold).
Then I glue in my "crystals" into the voids (I usually use fine-ground glass glitter, but I've seen other people do cool stuff with holographic flakes), let them dry, and put them back on the core molds to do a second cast with clear (and lightly glittery) resin, to turn them back into solid cores.
Those cores then get cast into a clear shell, with their void opening/crystal side towards the highest face, and they look *amazing.* They turn out with a kind of "hidden world" effect, with light and shadow making the cavity and its gems really sparkle and pop *inside* the die.
Worth a shot, if you have a week to commit to a single batch! (Mostly due to the three-pour cure times)
Woohooo best reward after a long walk coming home to a new video! Babe lookkkkkkkk. Also these dice look like magic :D
Grats on the walk! Hope you beat him in that too :P
@@Rybonator she 100% beat me in the walk too!
@@Rybonator oh yes me and the dog totally left him in our dust :D
@@amberstar7530 Oof, third place in a 2 person race :P
some of those imperfections in the color layer look like a galaxy effect! gorgeous
what a lovely set of dice
Thank you Vi :) I'm glad you like them
I was pretty skeptical for a few minutes but MAN was that proven wrong. Cannot believe how good they look. Amazing work.
I love how the dice are platonic solids. It fascinates me.
I'm a sucker for stained glass so by extension I am a sucker for these. Fabulously made! Well done!
Alas, she has beaten me. Oh well. We can watch a new Rybonator video together! Thanks man!
I basically do it to keep seeing y'alls comments now :)
Anything for our favourite CZcamsr! 🎲
This has its place in a cathedral
Break out the Priest bbeg fight
Those are stunning! My current character is based off of stained glass so every time I see dice like this I lose my mind a little bit lol. If I made dice I'd totally try to make some of these!
those are beautiful. have you ever thought about a set or 2 with items inside them, and a bag of holding/ handy haver sack as a dice bag? it would be fun to see what random tiny items could end up as a dice set. maybe a future dice makers challenge?
These look awesome! Love the blue 😍 I remember seeing a set of "stained glass" dice made by colored resin dices that have been crumbled (they had issues like bubbles etc and couldn't be used). The dice maker put the colorful shards inside of clear resin to make new dices and the result was gorgeous!
I think these are my favorite dice I've seen you make! Love 'em!
This is amazing. such a beautiful result.
WOAH! These are the most gorgeous dice I've ever seen! You regularly create incredible work, but you really knocked it out of the park this time. Incredible!
These have become one of my favorites you’ve ever made
Boy, the stained glass dice with gold numbers look FANTASTIC!! I really like this set. I agree with you - this is my favorite set of dice you’ve made so far!
these are so gorgeous!!
Dude youtube hasn't recommended you to me in forever I hope you are doing well still. I'm going to go watch all the videos I missed.
These actually remind me so much of the cmy cube! the ways the colours that are behind each other combine look so good!
Absolutely gorgeous!
No u :)
Also thank you haha
These literally look amazing !!
They look amazing!!
I absolutely love the look of these! I wonder if clear coating the insert would stop it from running though if it wasn't placed right in the shell mold.
I really like this style. But I think I'd leave some clear sides I'd also probably do the black or even black paint after inking. I also wonder if a gloss stay coat might help the sharpie stay on.
These look so cosmic! They look incredible! Congrats!
I think the sharpie was perfect, especially considering sained glass is generally imperfect to begin with, thus as a couple others have comented it makes it look rather like stained glass. Great job!!
Haven't even started the video and I wanna say: Your dice making vids have been missed! A month seems like forever sometimes!
I love those shapes. The rhombus d12, the stretched out d8 and d10, and of course the d4. So cool and they turned out so good!
Maybe if you seal the core with some kind of varnish, it wont come off so easily. I do have the impression that the sharpie kinda dissolved into the resin and made the outher shell darker, but it could just be a impression. Anyway, nice project!
If you look at the corners of some during the glamor shots, it doesn't appear very dark. BUT, yeah it may have. I didn't dry it for days or anything. Just 5 minutes with a hair dryer :)
So good! Been waiting on this all day!
Always love seeing your creations and you inspire me for my own ideas
Wow. They are so stunning
Sharpie is just alcohol ink, so it makes sense that it leeched into the resin a bit. Instead of buying inks, I just take dried Sharpies and drain their cores
Wow Rybo, they really are awesome and youre right they do look like glass. The colours are so vibrant too, great job dude!!
Lead colored paint would be a good reference to the lead that holds the stained glass together
I think there are two ways to further improve these dice. First, I would dilute the alcohol inks a tiny bit, making them slightly less opaque, and I would also apply it more evenly (and maybe with something else than a harsh felt tip) to get rid of the marker lines on the surface, but other than that, it's a stunning set of dice.
from an amature nail artist: the sell a product called "nail striping tape," it comes in a couple widths down to a 1mm size, so if you wanted to be reeeeeeeeeally fancy about it, you could pick up some of that on the cheap and just run it down the edges. if you wanted to be schmancy.
I agree, best looking dice you have done!
Randomly stumbled upon this vid and that is really cool... I need to resist the temptation to spend a lot of money on yet another hobby
Another cool set of dice by Rybonator!, good job man. You are a true inspiration. At one point you mentioned leaving your casting in the silicone molds for a couple weeks. I also just wanted to note that this is actually pretty hard on the molds because chemicals will leach back and fourth between the materials, and it's generally not good for the mold in particular and lessens its lifespan. You can see the white-ish discoloration of the mold you are using as a general sign of wear on the mold, but it looked like that even before the casting so I'm guessing you've used that mold at least a few times previously.
Good gravy, those are GORGEOUS
I freaking loooooove these!!!!
Woah these dice look amazing!
I cannot wait to try this!!!
Gold paint pen's would have probably been a neat effect as the edge highlight instead of black sharpie, to mimic the metal armature used to hold each color of regular stained glass windows. Also would have tied in the gold inking on the numbers too.
i agree this is probably the prettiest set of dice I've seen on your channel, good job man!
Hot damn these look gorgeous! You might even get a better, more consistent result with those super thin plastic colored sheets. Just a thought :)
After these were completed, I thought about that! It would be a pain to cut them all out to the exact right size etc, but it could be worth it :)
Indeed, i need to get some of those colored acetate sheets and see if it works
@@Rybonator Maybe cut the pieces slightly too big, glue them on, then cut off the borders? It might be harder for the dice with more sides like the d20s
Amazing! You've got another reason to be proud of yourself!
These dice are beautiful. Very CMY cube vibes!
I literally feel it in my gut how epic those are. I think thats my dream to be able to make for myself, I would love to have a set like that! Cheers mate you did amazing!
This is a beautiful set of dice
These are beautiful ❤
These are gorgeous! I wonder if you can more even color using wide tipped sharpie?
Probably would get an even better 'edge' and have a more 'framed' stained glass look if you do :)
I've been eyeing stained glass dice for so long, excited to try making them!
These look so badass!!!
Fantastic! Very gorgeous!😍
Idk how I missed this! Absolutely gorgeous! I know what I need to make now!
I saw this one and it made me have a interesting though, fractured dice where you pour in a little resin with a iridescent ink/pigment, then when dried you flip the flat side onto another side and repeat the process until you have a full dice with a bunch of cracked and weirdly shaped faces, maybe use other resins in other colors giving it a shattered universal effect
Nice job as always! I have seen a method to paint glass that may work for these. It just takes plain elmers glue and food coloring. Just a few drops in the glue and then paint it on. It dries transparent. I used it on a clear sword that came with a transformer figure, dried nice and was very see through.
Wow, those look fantastic!
Hey, your dice looks great. You should consider trying some "nail powders" in place of your liquid glitter, you can get a lot of different types but I like to use iridescent ones, they look great.
There's a video somewhere of someone using colorful transparent candy wrappers to make stained glass resin looking projects too and honestly I like the idea of just using what you have to make awesome stuff.
These btw are also the coolest dice I've ever seen and wow do I need a set like this.
I mean I already have like 20 sets of dice and I don't play dnd or any ttrpgs at all but also I seriously need need stain glass dice in my life
I can always count on your videos for some great inspiration! I really think I need to graduate to these shell molds. 10/10
This is awesome. I would love a set of these.
You could probably use glaze medium to get paint thin enough to get the transparency you'd need, though I have no idea if it would inhibit curing. That said, this approach also has some interesting applications for making holographic dice as well, or even just "80s roller rink" dice depending on color choices.
If you colour opposing sides the same colour, it a pretty sweet effect. Look up CMY cube
I legit said out loud ”Wow I’m surprised the resin didn’t reactivate the sharpie and make it rub all over” then the next words you said were that it bled 🤣
You are in fact smarter than I :)
LOOKS GREAT
i wish I had the spave and materials to make dice cus these would be the first I'd do immediately, your content is so good, hope one day I can make some dice like yours
Oh just with on color they look really interresting too or only the blue red.
such nice dices
They are so so pretty 😍
Thanks Penjo :D Glad you like them
Man I think this everytime you come out with a new video, but these are beautiful dice and my favorite set you've made
These would actually be fantastic Wild Magic themed dice
Damn, they look so good! 😍
so pretty!! wow!
They look so good! I wonder if giving the inner parts a light coat of spray varnish before putting them in resin would help with the color bleeding in the resin if you need to fiddle with them
Rybo!! Great to see a new video! Hope you have been well!
Although D100s are kinda impractical, I had an idea that a fluid one could be made with an air bubble inside of it to make reading one easier. The bubble would float to the top of the die, showing which face is up. It'd be cool to see you try and make one of those, or a regular d100. Love your vids.
You can buy transparent glass paints! That said, these dice reminded me of my aasimar cleric aurora because her magic was light based and her wings were supposed to look like aurora borealis (hence her name)
That sounds pretty!
