Blood Stains.
This tutorial will teach you the secret of making blood effects on creatures/people. Read on and follow the instructions smile
Start with a picture of a poser figure or any human/cartoon/creature.
For my tutorial i made poser figure.(fig.1)
fig.1
Next (as always) make a new layer. You probably know by now how important the use of layers are smile
Pick a dark red color like R=100 G=0 B=0. Paint a dot like fig.2 ontop of where you want one of the cuts on the caracter to be with the airbrush or the paintbrush tool.
Then pick the Smudge Tool (fig.3). I used pressure = 84 on the tool when i made this tutorial, so you can do the same. To customize this, double click the tool to show the options for it.
With the Smudge Tool click and hold in the center of the dot u made, and drag in the direction of the arrow in fig.4
Repeat this in several directions untill you have anything like fig.5
fig.2 fig.3 fig.4 fig.5
Now, set the mode on this layer to Color Burn, and place it on the caracter where you want the cut to be. To easier shape the blood, you can set the layer to color burn before you start on making the blood stains. Then make the cut as you want and it might look more real.
I.e. if you want to slice the throat on a man, you should't make a blood stain like the one i showed you, but rather make it more horizontal if you know what i mean =)
In fig. 6 you'll see my cuts.
If you DON'T set the layer to color burn, the effect of the blood won't look as realistic as with.
Fig.7 is without the color burn
fig.6 fig.7
Fig.8 shows you the same man only i used COLOR BURN on the blood layer. See the different? smile You should also add some bones and stuff inside the wounds. To do this make a new layer on the top, and paint carefully with a white/gray color in the middle. You can see the effect of this in the crack in the skull on fig.9.
You should do this on the rest of the body too, so use lots and lots of layers smile
PS! This effect works on interfaces, textures and text as well - Experiment!! smile
That's pretty much it... Good luck smile Blood Stains.

Pipe
This tutorial will learn you how to make realistic 3D pipe. Start with making a new layer [Shift+Ctrl+N] or go to the "Layers" menu and select "New | New Layer". Then make a rectangular selection using the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" [M] (fig.1)
If you can't find the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" but only the "Elliptial Marquee Tool" you have to click and hold on the "Elliptial Marque Tool" untill a small menu appears, then select the "Rectangular Marquee Tool".
fig.1
When you have selected the "Rectangular Marquee Tool", draw a rectangle somewhere on the image. (fig.2)
fig.2
Select the "Reflected Gradient Tool" [G] (fig.3) from the tools. (If you can't find it, click and hold on the "Linear Gradient Tool" and wait till a small menu appears, then select it.)
When you have found the "Reflected Gradient Tools" doublecklick it, and the "Reflected Gradient Options" will appear.(fig.4) Select the "Copper" from the menu with the arrow on (marked with a red circle on fig.4)
fig.3 fig.4
Now look at (fig.5) and drag with the "Reflected Gradient Tool" selected in the same direction as the arrow. (Hold [shift] to get a straight line while dragging.)
fig.5
When you have done this you will have your 3D pipe!(fig.6) Now deselect the pipe. [Ctrl+D] or "Select | Deselect" And you can play a bit more with it if you want to. For instance, you can make it metallic. To do this, press [Ctrl+U] or go to the "Image" menu, and select "Adjust | Hue Saturation" And set the Saturation to -100. Now you have a metallic 3D-pipe.
fig.6
Your final image could be like fig.7. You can also play around with other effects as the inset lines, and such things, more on those in other tutorials.
- Good Luck!
