Mmmm, thanks for the comments (even though apparently you people are very bloodthirsty O.O But that's why you're awesome).
As for the blood, yes, I had much trouble with it. Every time I tried to shade it, it looked very bad and plastic-y.

This was the best I could do for now. But I will try the smaller hairlines thing next time.
And yes, this was done in photoshop cs2.
