I don't use photoshop, I use paint shop pro.. But I believe that this goes for photoshop also... I've tried several ways to make realistic bloodstains etc.. I think there's not an easy way to do it. I prefer just drawing those bloodstains and cuts. Use some blood-like color, pick a paintbrush which is something 2 pixels wide or something. apply some texture into paintbrush (I use asphalt in visibility of 50%) to make the blood look more realistic. Then just paint those cuts and wounds into your text map. To make it more "3D", you should then make a bump map out of the final picture. U know how bump maps work? If ya don't, read it from some tutorial (I'm too tired to write it here:) Anyway, then (in poser) set that bumpmap into your character's bump map (for example "malewarriorbump.jpg") I've done some pretty good graphics with that techinque... It needs practising to paint the blood realistic.
