Let me just say that I've been beat up almost that bad before in real life, and I can honestly say, that there IS that much blood! ;) Try this though...Take your stiff bristle brush, dip it in red ink or watered down paint, then "Flick" it across the snow where the blood is. Nice blood splatter effect. Especially convincing if you splatter it coming from the direction of the blow. Try it. It's a good Valten, nice paintjob all around.
