murakumo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hello everyone again, It's been a long time since I posted anything on the reaper boards (mostly since I have been working on finishing some armies for both friends and myself which use mainly GW miniatures.) However, I now have a small problem. For a while now I have wanted to paint on blood droplets/strings of blood dripping form weapons however I can;t seem to find any tutorial or WIP that explains this... I have seen several examples of the finished result but not much on how it is done beyond "wait for the paint to congeal then pull it down (???)" If anyone could point me towards a tutorial or towards any information they had I would really appreciate it. I know I need to use Tamiya for some reason, (apparently it clots?) Thanks again for looking. Wes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for looking. Wes. For a tutorial on droplets I don't know of any offhand. When I need to make them I use is Vallejo or Woodland Scenics water tinted with paint or RMS inks. Then I use clear fishing wire to form the drops or string of drops. Single large drops I just dip into the mix and tape so that it dries hanging up and for strings I lay those down on zip lock bags and let them dry, then touch up the other side after I attach it. I've never used Tamiya to color though if you mix with something like the water effect products always try it out on something you don't care about first! I hope that helps some.

Renowyth Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I got to take a class with Jeremie Bonemant Teboul and he showed us the gore trick with Tamiya clear red X-27. If you have a blob of the clear red, you can leave trails with it. If memory serves: Get a blob on your brush, dab brush against sword point, pull brush away gently. You should get nice threads of blood. It was super easy and looked very cool. Well, I should say Jeremie made it look super easy. I bet if you search around for Tamiya clear red and gore effects you'll find a real tutorial from someone who's actually done it, not just watched someone do it.

Midnight Lurker Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah, Jeremie showed us the same thing. If I remember right I think he mixed a tiny bit of pure black paint into the Tamyia clear red. The Tamyia does have a different consistancy to it than regular paint, kinda gooey and stringy as it begins to dry, and that lends itself well to the dried blood effect. If you want to get really ambitious, take a hobby knife and scrape up shavings of old, dried paint from a corner of your pallet and mix that in as well. Gives a nice clotted texture!
