In disc golf, it's cool to put a US F18 on a Soviet star. Nobody cares.
Couple of small bleed-throughs in the black, and one on the red. But, overall, it's not terrible.
The star is off center a little. Not because I didn't get the design from the computer onto the disc exactly as I drew it, but because I drew it off-center on my computer (but didn't notice).
The Making Of...
Created the design in Affinity Photo (because fuck Adobe for turning Photoshop into overpriced rent-ware and making it impossible for me to continue using the version I already paid hundreds of dollars for).
Made a little demo in Blender, cause I thought it might be fun:
Less fun than I hoped.
Printed out the design:
Traced that image with an exacto knife into some black adhesive vinyl to make a stencil. Wiped the stamp off the disc, stuck the stencil to the disc. Weeded-out the parts to be dyed black.
Dipped in some nice warm black dye for a couple of hours:
Peeled the stencil off:
Cleaned off the smudged parts with acetone. Masked-off the white areas and hand-painted the red:
Peeled off the mask tape, put it on a turntable and put the edge on (first pic).
OK, I wanna play:
