Bloody Splatter Effect

Solemn · 25 Feb 2013 at 10:22

Hi guys,

I am in the process of a project and some mods to a case.

I havent been able to find any information here about how to do this, but I would like to get a blood splatter effect on my side panel,

Can anyone suggest a good paint to use and tips to make the splatter look ok?

I want to do a full panel so it will need to be large splatter meaning I can't use the spray paint on a piece of cardboard trick.

I think you can do this with the help of adobe Photoshop easily.

Meanwhile you did not told and gave enough information here that do you want to add the effect in a photo, paint or in a video?

^ He obviously wants to do it with paint on his case...

The best way to get the effect is to actually splatter the paint on with a brush. If it's spray paint then spray into a container until you have enough.

If you're using normal paint then you'll want to thin it (water/turpentine for water/oil based paints), until it's the consistency of blood.

Could could even use a syringe, minus the needle, to get the effect of it pumping from an artery or similar.

Once it's all dry you'll want to do 5-6 thin coats of clear lacquer in order to stop it from chipping off.

Like already mentioned , thinned down paint and a wide paint brush . You can either hold the brush diagonally and pull the bristles back then letting go so they flick . Or hold it the same and tap the metal bit causing it to flick . Just practice on some old paper or card board boxes to find the way you feel comfortable in doing it it .
