Seriously amazing what you've accomplished w/ rit dye. The fading on it is perfect. |

It looks really great! Does the dye stay on well or rub off on your fingers? |

Yeah, looks very very nice! Does the dye penetrate the vinyl well? |

 Thanx for the positive comments guys. I am always a bit apprehensive about posting my dyed customs as I know that dye is frowned upon by many, if not most. The vinyl holds the dye very well and I have seen no signs of leakage or dye transfer. The key is to dye the vinyl without saturating it to the point where it cannot hold the dye. I am gonna perform a white t-shirt test later with this guy to really get a firm test on dye leakage. It's all very experimental at this point which I find makes it even more fun. He does look a bit like cherry wood. I had thought that myself. A cool, unintended effect. I had actually considered leaving him like this because of that wood look. But I think I am gonna paint the eyes, teeth and maybe the belt buckle... |

Looks Great!!! - specially like the different subtle color tones I would be interested in seeing the other two test subjects before you got to this one |

| Post subject: | Re: AlchemEVIL! |
so is it more than 1 color dye or just saturation control over different portions with the same color? |

LOVING the pink one. Great fade!!! Is there really an anti-dye contingent? Why one earth would anybody be opposed to that? |

I can't imagine that many people are against dying vinyl- I've incorporated dying into quite a few of my customs... probably around 9-10 or them. And Melek- that Chaos is fucking nuts. I'd love to have that guy in my collection. phil |

I could be wrong. But I have gathered that dye is, at least looked on with a bit of distrust. The Pink/Purple Evil is one of my favorites. Really had fun with that one. Thanx hellopike. I could make a similar one, but that one has been in the collection of iron_horse for quite some time now. I thought of posting some in progress pics for the pink Evil, but I'd have to dig them up and I don't know if anyone cares. |

KILLER! Simple and beautiful... Dying is a great way to change the base color without having to use a whole bottle of V-color! |

Thank you Zaaier. Insomniac's partial paint progress shot. Still pretty rough...   ^ the blue shit on his head is some kind of reflection... Hope to finish this guy by the end of this weekend. |
