Hey everyone today I'm bringing you a painting tutorial on painting bloodstained weapons. I'll be using GW paints and 2 old and very very frayed drybrushes. i'll be illustrating this technique on an Iron Warriors Arm with a knife that I'm painting for friend.
Colors you will need for this method:
Red Ink, Blood Red, Red Gore, Flesh Wash and whatever metal you painted the weapon with.
Allright
Step 1: Paint the weapon as you would normally.
Step 2: Apply a quick drybrush of red ink on the area where you're going to put have the blood.
Example:
Step 3: Go back and take the metal color you used on the blade, in this case boltgun metal, and stipple it over the red ink so you paint over most of it but not all.
Example:
Step 4: Drybrush Red Gore over the entire stained area.
Example:
Step 5: Apply a quick drybrush of Flesh Wash.
Example:
Step 6: Drybrush the entire stain with Blood Red.
Example:
Step 7: Stipple Blood Red onto the blade to get the effect of blood droplets.
Example:
Step 8: Drybrush red ink over the entire area to get a liquid-ish look.
Example:
There you have it. Takes about 10 mins to do the whole thing. Sorry for the first couple of pictures.
Any comments or Questions just ask.
