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.

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.

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

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)

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.
