20. Create a new layer and call it "paint chips". Select the pen mode (Shift-B), set color to white, and from the brush selection select a spotted brush

21. Dab a few chips around the edges of the mask. Only the area in the mask get modified.

22. Adjust the layer opacity to your taste

23. Add a new layer, rename it to dirt

24. Set the pen color to a dark brown and dab on the edges, then adjust the layer opacity to taste

25. At this point I created a copy of the Grooves layer by dragging it to the "new page" icon at the bottom of the layers pallete

ON TO THE BLOOD!!!!!!!

26. This is pretty simple. Make a new layer, rename it to blood.

Set the pen to pen mode if its not already and set the color to bright red (not pure red). Set the brush to the spotted pen size of 27 or so

In the options bar at the top of the screen set the pen properties to "hard light" and Opacity to 50% or close to it.

In the Layer blending tab, set the layer to Multiply and the Opacity to 75% or close to it.

Make a few short brush strokes that overlap (turn off the fade option if its still on)

27. The blood just sits on top of everything right now and that looks funny. Grab the Blood layer and move it to rest between the Grooves and Shine Layer.

On to the Alpha channels....
