Hobby Cheating 219 - How to Paint Blood Splatter 

The combination of painting the hand print, the background music, and the "little fun handprint" commentary is perfect.

I couldn't agree more with "less is more". It's a crazy concept lol.

I stumbled upon your channel recently, and I've been watching other painting channels for months, you? I've learned more from in 24 hours. Please never stop creating content, and for what it's worth; I appreciate you!

I'm going to be using this technique really soon. Great video!! Thank you!!

I have been consistently using your blood staining method from the painted marble bases video (red pigment, hull red, bloodfest crimson and blood for the blood god) for all blood effects. You can't improve on perfect, but heck I can't wait to give this a shot too! I agree, it definitely needs the build-up of layers - not just bftbg out of the pot!!!

Your Ogors look amazing Vince! Looks like I gotta change up the blood on some of my guys now...

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

I seem to remember seeing a similar method in another video, though I don't recall if it was on your channel or not. Whatever the case, I agree that simply slapping on a glossy red paint is a bad idea; even for very fresh blood you still need to account for things like spatter, gravity and fluid dynamics, and other grisly things like skin and tissue build up. As gruesome as it might be, if you want to go *really* technical try watching some episodes of "Forensic Files"; in cases where there's blood evidence they always a pretty comprehensive explanation as to what kinds of attacks would results in specific blood spatter patterns. That handprint idea is amazing! I don't think I've ever seen that done before, but now I need to find something I can use it on because it *really* sells the narrative.

Great tutorial, thanks vince.

That’s superb!

Excellent video, thank you

Reminds me of Destruction's "Mad Butcher" album cover... With the butcher and his reflection showing the before and after here :D

The logic of where the pattern would be is really important. I decided to throw some BFtBG on my Salamanders Assault Intercessors to cover up a mistake with the texture paint… I mean weather the minis. They all carry their chainswords in their left hand so they’d typically strike enemies to their left. Then I worked out based off the pose (since they’re all charging) where the strike would have happened and used my airbrush to fire a spray from the impact point. Given the weapon is splattery as anything I reinforced the spray with a few streaks in places for some variation to suggest a pistol execution or a close in struggle, but all focused on the left of the mini. The rest is pretty clean because if this is their initial charge straight out the drop pod they’re not going to be covered in the stuff, just on the side where they strike from.

I was just about to apply some blood splatters to my Iron golems from Warcry, the timing could not have been more precise xD

AMAZING vídeo 👏👏👏👏

Good video Vince but what I would do is put a little paint on the end of a brush and give it one little shot with the airbrush and splatter it all over...cause there is going to be blood in a lot more places than his apron...have fun! Thanks for sharing...

Nice just what I needed! So the contrast works nice in your experience even when not painted over the specific prime for it?

Holy mackerel, I've never heard of or seen that GW Blood for the Blood God technical paint before

Useful as always :)

This advice is brilliant as always, Vince! Blood is so much fun to do. I've got Army Painter blood effects, but maybe I should give that Citadel BftBG a whirl some time. Their pricing galls me a bit, though, and I'm stubborn lol Any thoughts on Vallejo's Blood effect paint?

Could just do what I did once and have a pin drill bit drive through the plastic and into your thumb. :O

Any chance you can do a video on painting silver-white hair (something with maybe purple shadows instead of typical blue for a cold white?) and purple darkelf skin? I have been trying to find a good video on this but no luck.

Ok, so how would you paint blood splatter effects on a warp spider telefragging into a space marine? I'm planning on painting the Artel w Spectral Spinner prime (it's a dope model you should look it up) in pristine white armor and blue accents like a phase spider in dnd. I wanted to add some blood splatter to make the model look more intimidating, but I'd imagine there would be quite a bit of blood.

Looks awsome, I love the hand mark to lol. Did I miss something thought ? Who makes Hull Red ? Is that the paint you said ? Is it from Vallejo model color ? Sorry If I cant find it on materials used.

Any chance of getting a how-to on Tribal/war paint? Any making it look magical, like on Bonesplitterz?

Really nice! Subbed and liked :)

Very nice. I thought I know how I like to do my bloodstains but I learned something new which I want to add in the future. Thank you. Maybe you could do a video about painting black and white. With the Night of the Living Dead Kickstarter I'm planning to paint the models in b/w and maybe with a light tint of blue. I very much would love to hear your thoughts on that subject.

Vince, thanks a lot for this video. I do have a question. How would you combine techniques without over doing the effect unintentionally or messing the effects? I am talking about combing things like old rust and old blood on e.g. World Eaters. Cuz the colours are so close and the miniature relatively small, I find it difficult to judge the right colour pallet and the right amount of both techniques such that it does right to both effects, make them distinguishable for each other, but do not flood the model with either effects.

Looks great! The first two colours could you please write them down so i can find the correct colours

Vince, would you do a hobby cheating where you paint the cloak of an eidolon? preferably with minimal airbrush use =D. Or is there a video that would already apply to something like that?

The hand print's name is Wilson.

Nice, less is indeed more.

Hey Vince, what camera setup (and software) do you use?

Why are your models often on square bases in your tutorials?

Spatter

Great video. The sniffles and the "mmkay"s are a tad distracting.
