THank you, I made this about 2 years ago and forgot I was on this site...Sorry for not replying right away. I followed the steps in the tutorial for blood background effect. I used a photo of myself and used overlay to put the effect on my face and not the background,

I did something like this a while ago for a sig.
1. Set foreground=red and background=black
2. Render > Clouds
3. Render > Fibers
Never did the Difference Clouds though.
Here's what I ended with, you can really see the "Fibers"
