That's really cool actually, even though I hate the whole vampire craze.

I like the dramatic lighting. The processing looks pretty good to me too.

The splattering looks a little bit funky.

Definitely provokes an "ew" response from me, and I generally think photography is successful if it gets some sort of emotional response!

I think this would look better with less or no blood on her hands.

Was the blood added in post? Something looks sort of off about it...

LOL! Yes, those are actual fangs and she had to feed first so that she did not eat the photographer.

Doesn't look real

Specifically between her ring and middle finger. The "big" splatter looks too... sharp where the v of her fingers happens and at the underside curve of the finger. And to the right in between the fingers, on her neck, next to the necklace, it looks like the spatter pattern from her fingers continues onto that small part of her neck between her fingers...

I dunno... looks fake.

If it's *real* then that's not helping it to look real.

The fangs are fake! That I can confirm, the blood was trown on with a paintbrush from a slight distance and had a little time to ''dry''

sorry but im not buying that the blood was on there for the shot.
youve got identical brush marks on her hand. the lighting doesnt match some of the droplets...
nice shot, but the blood was done in post.

edit...
here, i've circled what i believe to be repeating brush shapes.



pretty obvious.
shoulda come clean.

I was trying to see if the effect was realistic or not :PI would not have known !!! I lied to not steal the punch, i will post the original



So yeah, pretty simple effect, added the blue channel over the original image, overlayed both, brought up the eyes and lips, added the blood in pp

True ''fake'' blood :P

It's a first try with these brushes, so yeah I was thinking it would have been a true blood bath hence the brush happy :P

I like it a lot, I would not have even known it was a photoshop work up until I read down and saw the circles. Not a totaly a beginner shot I think it would be a good contribution to the darkside board under themes. Good job.
Peaceout
