How to get this effect?

Well with the nature of the technique you can do it in a lot of ways. You can do a basic blend underneath, and then do your stippling with varied midtones; you can just stipple on every stage, working brighter for hilights; you can go back and forth and mix it up until it looks right, the possibilities really are endless.
In this particular case it almost looks like he did a basic blend from red to orange, and stippled on a transparent Gore type of color, with more in the cracks to make it look almost wet with blood. A mix of something like Tamiya Clear Red and Smoke could maybe work.
Who's the artist, btw? Many of them will answer questions if you know who to ask.

That looks basically how he has done it. I would start with a dark brown base and build up your base red from there in a pretty much solid fashion. Use thin paints for your highlights and build each layer up following mostly where the highlights would be but in a slightly more random pattern.
The artists name is Jim Rowell. I tried to contact him but never got a response.
Thanks for the ideas so far!

Pretty much, yes. But it looks to me like this used both lighter and darker colours. It's something that takes a few attempts for most people to get right (and consistency is tricky) but it's not actually that difficult.
