SANGVIRAL TUTORIAL

log ref: #SFX-SANGVIRAL_Δ07
specimen class: animated hemoviral replication
notes: high gore index, hemo tissue breakdown, portable deployment

The vampire specimen is a highly sought after DRF field illusion.
People don’t just want to see the bite, they want to feel the shiver that comes with it, to believe for a heartbeat that something ancient has chosen them.

Today, we’re opening the kit.

PLEASE NOTE: isopropyl alcohol is not supplied, due to shipping restrictions.

STAGE ONE: ENCAPSULATED SILICONE PROSTHETICS

Position & Mark

Hold the prosthetic in place, check angles in the mirror, cut off flashing ring if possible. Remember: vampires attack erratically. Symmetry is suspicious. We chose to apply on the neck membrane.

Adhesive Layer

Using the provided adhesive, paint a thin layer on both the skin and the back of the prosthetic. Wait a few minutes to allow it to become tacky.

Placement

Press the piece down from center to edge, eliminating air pockets.

Edge Dissolution

Dip a brush in IPA and stroke outward over the cap plastic edges. The membrane will melt into skin, leaving no hard line. This is where realism breaches the threshold.

Repeat

Do steps 1 to 4 for rest of prosthetics.

STAGE TWO: 3D GEL TEXTURE

Mix & Apply

Using the lid or a receptacle of your choice, mix the supplied fake blood in with the 3d "chunks", forming a coagulated mix that can be applied directly to wounds to had flesh dynamics.

STAGE THREE: BLOOD

Strategic Staining

Vampires feast not eat. Drop blood in uneven patterns. Avoid uniformity.

Depth Control

Darker blood near wounds, brighter and wetter toward edges for “fresh” bites.

Secondary Splatter

Flick a loaded brush for microdroplets if required.

▶ Final Result
  • Check all edges under good lighting. If anything looks like “applied makeup,” add more blood.
  • Add dirt, ash, or grey-toned face paint if you want to increase decay.
