You're definitely not the only person who didn't know about the origin of food coloring, but I'm not surprised, crude oil is in thousands of products that not a lot of people pay attention to. That was a very methodical testing of the different additives to come up with the right combination. Have seen badly injured people and to get the right look isn't easy.
Fantastic video! No, you were not the only one who didn't know food coloring was made from a derivative of crude oil lol. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you showing how you made the blood mix as I know I'll be needing to touch up some of my props. Thank you!
I am currently building the Mama Bear Huntress skin and this has been SOOOOO helpful. I've been over here using only acrylic paint like a noob. I can't wait to test this out! Thank you for doing all the hard work for us!!!!!
Palenight productions… or fx warehouse. They sell a blood paint called permablood. Relatively inexpensive and it’s flexible when dry so it can be used on rubber, or clothing. Doesn’t wash out, doesn’t come off. And looks like blood
One method I like is using rubber cement apply it and kinda prod it in and out as it dries to make it uneven and give texture then once painted and clear coated it looks actually pretty good. Just watch as the glue doesn’t stick well and can be rubbed off but after a some paint and clear coat it becomes more solid and better
What a very nice methodical process here, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to show the different levels of materials and colors to achieve the permanent blood look. I really like this video a lot! I've been doing special effects for almost 20 years, but I actually enjoyed this video. I even subscribed to your channel as well. Super cool! Well keep teaching good things and I'll keep watching for your new material videos.❤
Thank you so much for this guide! I did the triple thick with decoart acrylic paints and it turned out amazing! I even went back to some previous props and splashed some of the mix on em.
Really enjoyed the video. Found some good dark red paint I used for blood, and used it in my mask last year for the haunt I work for, but was looking for something darker, yet redder, dry, but not dull, shiny, yet not wet. FRESH, basically. If I have some time to experiment this year, I'll be heavily using this video for reference.
I was experimenting with food coloring and clear Elmer's school glue for some blood on prop knives. I noticed that the mixes I used a drop of blue or green with dried with that greenish/oil slick on them, but the one with just glue and red did not. I covered it all with a coat of red/glue only and it kept the darker color but seemed to have hidden the green/oil reflection. Maybe the blue/green food coloring has more of the oil ingredient. Just red looked pretty good with a few coats, more coats in spots did give darker reds
this is so helpful! im looking to make some blood vials with something that will dry down instead of worrying about leaks and spills, this should do the trick.
Fantastic tutorial More suggestion is to Use a F X powdered Blood mixing with a good quality Clear vonish That way you will always have fresh red blood
Hi I’m making a few Jason masks from Friday 13th series what would you suggest would be the best method I also want to clear coat it and add some drips runs or smears to make it better . I just want to learn a good method to consistently make a similar colour . Any ideas many thanks and I’ll be happy to share my first completed mask once done. Just a hobby I’ve decided to try out :)
@@simplyrachaelstudios I've never really experimented with different colorings. But if you get the CRYSTAL CLEAR kind. By dap i think. And you paint on your color. Just regular acrylic paint. And put the caulking over it. It stays wet looking. And is very durable. I've used it for props and everything.
thank you for your help. I've been using nail polish theirs different types kinda pricey a little but for something not to big it works and to make it pop use clear nail polish after the red dyes hope that helps you and you can use other for other stuff😎👽
You probably know this by now but the reason they use the oil in food coloring instead of an actual pigment is traditionally red dye was made from carmine which is ground up bugs making it all natural, the problem is, a lot of people have allergic reactions to it. Your other option is Cadmium which is super bad for you to ingest so that's a no go. You also have alizarin which they're not a lot of research on. Your best bet would be to just get an acrylic ink and use it. Highly pigmented and defo not food safe but would turn out way better.
Fun video, and exactly what I was about to burn a bunch of time doing. I'm just not 100000% sure, which one you are showing at the end, as your verdict, for Favorite. 1st on the left?
My favorite from this experiment was the triple thick gloss with the resin tints. I felt this gave the best fresh blood look. I still frequently use a mix of triple thick and paint for an older dried blood look. Hope this helps!
@@simplyrachaelstudios YAY for the epic fast reply! Thanks so much. I'm going to give it a try. Michaels has the Triple Thick, and is only a few min away. I have Resin tints on hand. Excited to give this ago. I've been avoiding it! Lol. Stay AWESOME
I am corpsing some skeletons and want them to look bloody and gross. The issue I’m having is the prop blood I got off Amazon, when it dries it looks SUPER fake. Is there anything out there that when it dries it will still look like thick wet blood?? Thanks so much
Thank you for sharing! Been wanting to find a way to make some permanent fake blood without using acrylic paint! Definitely gonna use this for my Halloween 2 coveralls!
Can you teach me how to make fake mold for clothes and costumes, for example I want to make a cosplay of the last film in the Halloween franchise that came out, the name of the film is Halloween Ends and Michael Myers in this film has his jumpsuit all moldy, do you know if you could teach me? I will be very grateful 😁.
I would've stab my finger just to take a picture the before and after color because it drives me crazy that no one can't see that because blood cells will die so I got hot red and rust stain paint I take a brush poot water on it then I show the examples of my real blood and fake it took me 3hours just to make it realistic as possible but finally got it to look the same the fake blood looks just like my real blood then my blood turned into a different color brown ❣️
Wait what are the odds i was looking for blood for my huntress cosplay and just searched realistict blood and found this channel

This video looks great. My girlfriend is planning on using it to make me a Jeff the Killer hoodie from Creepypasta.
That’s what I’m here for too :) !
“Go to sleeeeep!”
Im here for the same LOL
im here for the same thing LOL
How did it come out, I’m tryna bloody a hoodie for a serial killer OC for a convention
Thank you so much for sharing, this probably saved me a lot of mistakes on my upcoming prop project!

Can you use this method for a latex mask?

You could buy blood red model paint and add black tho that’s pretty good no oil looks that I’ve seen .

You might kill off some of that magenta / pinky hue by using green to darken the blood rather than black.
Thank you for finding the perfect recipe! Just what I need for a cosplay I'm making :D Love the video format, very informative

Do you ever use a candy blue over the top to get that darker red look

I love making bloody body parts so this definitely helped with the blood!
This would be concerning out of context
May I suggest your choice of coloring. And crystal clear silicone caulking.
Ooh never thought to try silicone caulk. Great suggestion!

Can you do this test with these options on various fabrics?
Any chance you tried on fabric? I'm about to try myself, not sure what tutorial I should follow. :P
Thank you so much for helping me!

Pale Night Productions Perma-blood. Hands down the best permanent blood on the market.

Thank you for this... Just what is was looking for 👌🏼
Love it making a wreath and needed this
You may also want to try Tamyia's Tranparent Red as a base tint to start with.
Also, can't say enough about Triple Thick!!!!
I got here from a search on how to make blood from paint.....the fact that you are sooooo beautiful and bubbley is a complete bonus 😍
Thank you for sharing! Been wanting to find a way to make some permanent fake blood without using acrylic paint!
Definitely gonna use this for my Halloween 2 coveralls!
This is a great video! Thank you!
Crude Oil?!? Holy Shiet!! Good vid Thanks for this Info!!
I didn't catch if this is water proof. and how long would it last in let's say a skateboard or a bike.
Can you teach me how to make fake mold for clothes and costumes, for example I want to make a cosplay of the last film in the Halloween franchise that came out, the name of the film is Halloween Ends and Michael Myers in this film has his jumpsuit all moldy, do you know if you could teach me?

Little dab of blue and orange gives it a more realistic look btw 😉. Little trick for y’all
I wonder if gel food coloring would work better
Thank you!!
I wonder if powdered food coloring would produce that same green color.
Has anyone tried using red liquid electrical tape? I found an old bottle at work the other day and thought it could be great for this kind of thing.
Some FX companies add blue to the red and black.
So we are eating crude oil when its used in food's 🤯
POV: you didn’t see the word permanent!
Yes I did
I know this is a year old but use red with a touch of blue and you'll get the blood red you are looking for.
I would've stab my finger just to take a picture the before and after color because it drives me crazy that no one can't see that because blood cells will die so I got hot red and rust stain paint I take a brush poot water on it then I show the examples of my real blood and fake it took me 3hours just to make it realistic as possible but finally got it to look the same the fake blood looks just like my real blood then my blood turned into a different color brown ❣️
If nothing else was a take away I learned that food coloring is made from crude oil and that's why everything processed makes us sick
i have an idea dead by daylight irl but with prisoners istead of normal people
Your using the wrong dye. Look up r&d reds (lakes)
Use r&d red and then add Yellow (lakes) dye’s
This is the kind of woman I need to marry
I just use pigs blood. But these are nice alternatives
Honestly is there anything worse than store bought fake blood that looks like cranberry juice!!? Why even bother selling it. It bothers me so much
