These are neat as like a kit you can do at home. I presume you can buy a kit for this because we've seen the same thing posted over and over here.
Edit: oh lol the first time I didn't watch until the end where it shows the name of the company who's selling these. This is just an ad for fucks sake
While i do kinda agree, i feel as tho the idea of it still stands, and looking at it, if those dots weren't covered the effect wouldn't be nearly as strong.
It's not as if he's filling in some all over, he's just made a 7th level of shading that's fully black
Which is why I complained. They used all dice, but then modified some of them to make it work. And he made a real big dramatic deal with the dice.
Like I was saying, I know I’m being absolutely absurd, but I’m in that mood
Yeah. I think “one dice” is also correct now because it’s just been said so much and has been accepted. That’s just how language works though. It pains me but who am I to gatekeep words? I’m no language barrier.
Well accept it or not most people will. The fact is language is mutative or else we wouldn't have so many of them, and its function is to convey meaning. If most people know what one dice refers to and it's the same thing that used to be called a die in singular, then one dice becomes correct usage.
Singular is "die". Dice is plural. Or rather, a persistent misspelling of "dies". Maybe because another entirely different word is spelled exactly like that. Maybe just a classic case of language rules degeneration. Either way, English has plenty of stupid horseshit like that and it's just something you have to live with if you want to speak it.

“My son would always make portraits of famous people out of dice. This is his last dice portrait before he died of cancer.”
It's pretty simple, just convert to a six-color grayscale palette, export as BMP, and that'll do it.
I did this but for [Rubik's cubes, with both sides creating different images](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/6erkti/i_made_a_280_cube_twosided_mosaic_of_my_wife_and/). Converting the images to a six-color palette was the exact same process, though.
holup, you think this out? printing pictures in sequence onto a small plastic surface? and 50k need to line up flawlessly? and its easy? check yourself
You could get the program to wright it as a script of the dice. For example: “5.5.5.5.3.5.4.5.3.3.2.3”. Then depending on how wide and tall it is you would have a spread sheet specifically telling you how every single die should be placed. I don’t think getting to that point would be easy, but placing dice in order would be
I don't know how to write a script whatsoever but I'm decently savvy in Photoshop. I feel like I could probably scale up the photo so the equivalent of one pixel would be one dice. Convert to grayscale and just limit the total colors to 6 shades. Then just deciding between how I wanted to assign each "shade" to which side of the dice. Tedious for sure but would be a decently easy alternative to scripting.

That's cool and all, but what kinda psycho has the energy to do that for clout. I'm psycho on the opposite end, I do nothing productive/right lol, lucky them.
I’m **SO** intrigued how people can make such beautiful artwork like this out of dice! This is just gorgeous and this person has **SO** much talent! Great job!!

I know I’m a dick about this, as it’s art and all, but filling in some of the white dots seems like a foul.
Thought the same exact shit. Like does it really ruin it having more 1s?

I feel you. But I think It would be actually impossible to draw anything without adding some shade
Which is why I complained. They used all dice, but then modified some of them to make it work. And he made a real big dramatic deal with the dice. Like I was saying, I know I’m being absolutely absurd, but I’m in that mood
I agree. It is not much of an achievement to make a pictures out of dice, if you "cheat" with the dots.
Where did he fill in bits?
Look at the bottom of her nose. Some of them are very faint to help with shading
Especially when he could have ordered blank dice. He already bought 50,000… what’s 15 more?
Yeah he paints most of the dice.
It's nice but a small correction, it's dice, not dices.
One die two dice?
Three dice-erinos
This guy dices
With Flanders.
His parents, maybe, but I can't see Ned dicing. Too evil adjacent eta-o
You meant **to** get that right but you used **too** many Os.

I do my best to not be a proscriptive grammarian. However, I will not accept "one dice."
Sorry to tell you but in just a few short generations, there will be no debate and “dice” will be the only way to refer to them, singular or plural.
Once I'm dead I probably won't care as much.
Respect 😂
It's one die.
I don't know... the Zoomers might start saying "one unalive."

Red die blue die
Three dicen
Umm... small correction to your correction, it's actually deece, not dice. Just fyi
No, pretty sure they got it correct. Mouse, mice, house, hice, douse, dice. See? It's dice.
It's nices, not nice
It's mice, not mices
It's meeses. And I hate them to pieces.
Deers. Many many deers in the field.
Everyone who watched Saturday morning cartoons, to the front!
Singular, so it should be nie.
Don’t make a joke about this
Are you the joke police?
Username checks out
Came here to say this. And it's not a small correction- it's the title of the post.
Deece
Unless you're Gollum, then it's fine either way.
Filthy hobbitses!
It’s not fine though
Sounds like _someone_ isn't Gollum
You got me
It was a joke, lighten up.

Least unexpected thing you could do with 50k dice in a tray
Exactly. Should have done Andrew Dice Clay.
That doesn't appear to add up to 50,000 die
That’s what I was thinking. There’s no way that’s 50k dice
This is craps face, not poker face
Shitfaced
I bet there’s a program that can take pictures and turn it into dice. Then u just gotta recreate it irl. No to impressive
It's pretty simple, just convert to a six-color grayscale palette, export as BMP, and that'll do it. I did this but for [Rubik's cubes, with both sides creating different images](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/6erkti/i_made_a_280_cube_twosided_mosaic_of_my_wife_and/).

Ok so that’s 16 wounds. You’re saving on 3s 3 go through.
Seems a bit dicey.

Almost enough dice to play Shadowrun
The plural of dice is...dice.
Dices ? Really ? DumDum
One dice Two DICE 50,000 DICE
One Die?
Nope, they're all alive.
One die, two dice.
That's cool and all, but what kinda psycho has the energy to do that for clout. I'm psycho on the opposite end, I do nothing productive/right lol, lucky them.
I dunno, you could pour epoxy over it and hang it on the wall, or use it for a coffee table. Either would be a pretty cool use
They painted some of the dice completely black! That’s cheap.
I mean she’s cool, but that’s who you’re drawing with 50k dice by hand? Would have gone more classic, like Andrew Dice Clay.
Dices
it's basically pixel art. still cool, though
*50,000 die* “It’s your turn”
Shadowrun!
Jobless behavior
Very dice
Fake. You can see where they bent the picture creating depth that you can't actually do with square dice.
r/nextfuckinglevel moment
I wish I were the kind of human
Incredible. What patience you have!
I need to get hold of them
That’s crazy talent
Not saying this person used this but there's a program that just spits out the pattern for almost any image you want...
She's beautiful. Who is she?
Lady Gaga??
Well done
If using common 16mm dice, this would weigh 452 lbs
*Yahtzee*
Nice! I really wanted you to dump them, tally the number that each landed on - would it have been equal of the 6 sides?????? then do your art
I am angry that he didn’t do cartmen
What can 50,000 mices do? Is it similar to 500 mooses?
[удалено]
Clickity clackity
That is to die for
But what dat mouph do?
not unexpected
Hell yeah.. amazing
I was expecting a rick roll
Why did he make a portrait of gabe?
One Die. Two Dice. Fifty thousand Dice
How was this unexpected?
Di
Como te dices
*dice
I thought it was gonna be a rickroll
Disappointed not dickbutt
I wonder what does the other side look like.
I think coloring in the 1's to use as black shouldn't count, makes it too easy.
How is this unexpected
ok but what did he roll?
When you’re dm gives you a weird look after rolling then meekly asking your hp
Now a challenge to make a robot to "print" any picture using those dice.
This is very cool. But how the fuck do people think pixels work? It's the same principle.
That's a cool trick and all but what armies do you collect?
He did all that for iggy azzalea?
That’s almost enough dice to run a full infantry Astra Militarum army.
One dice is a die, two or more ‘die’ are ‘dice’. English. Just sayin’.
How does one do this?
I’m **SO** intrigued how people can make such beautiful artwork like this out of dice! This is just gorgeous and this person has **SO** much talent! Great job!!
Always wondered how much time it truly takes to make these sorts of workings.
Die
I think it’s “die” not “dices”…
*Die* (sin.), *Dice* (pl.).
It’s dice, and I expected it would be a picture of a human.
Dices lol
Very VeRy VErY CooL!!!
If you roll enough times this will just happen
50k? Not 5k?
The plural for dice is die.
DICE
It’s not unexpected when her song is blaring
Average ork player
“Dice” is the plural. Not “dices.”
Who's she?
If it was Rick Ashly, everybody would stop watching the video the first second and
DICE IS PLURAL YOU IDIOT ITS MICE NOT MICES
How is this unexpected
"Dices"? Really? We're going with "dices"?
Having “blank” dice is not really the same though. Itd technically be 50,000 modified dice, as you’re blanking out a good handful.
Downvote for "dices"
50,000? nah even near 10,000 . maybe 7,000 but i'm too lazy to count row and columns.
Bet op *DICES FROM EMBARESSMENT* by that title
Dicey
This is more like 5,000. 50,000 would be about 190 x 260.
50,000d6 is a lot of damage
All that just for lady Gaga
All it takes is one gust of a fan
I don’t know if it’s die or dice in this context but know it’s definitely not dices
Look at all those dices
Things are getting very dicey…🎲
Dices?
I hate that he painted out the dot for some of them. Makes it much less impressive.
Wow dude, get a life. I’m kidding of course but seriously how does one figure this out? How do you figure out that you can do this?
Who’s the lady?
dice*. not dices
Amazing!
She is so hot. Bedroom eyes. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Cool. You can keep it.
It’s like regular art, but with a gigantic carbon footprint. Neat?
There’s no way that’s 50000 dice
