Great piece, but I wonder why you think blood should be translucent. Blood is opaque. Light only penetrates at the edges where the thickness is lowest, allowing the plasma to spread out between the cells (this only happens when the layer of blood is less than paper thin) Once the blood dries it's opaque even at the edges.
Simple i thought it would look good if you could see the detail under it its fantasy anyway the fact that in the real world blood isnt transparent really doesn't matter Glad you liked the piece
I have been using hot glue and clear caulk for water and lava lately and it is so much easier to work with than resin. You mess up you can just run the hot glue gun over it and reshape any time.
its blood, you arent suposed to see through anyway, but if you wanted it, you should had diluted the paint before applying it and do it in steps untill you are satisfied with the transparency.
Simple but effective
You could also look at it as the fountain had water in it first then the blood came. Great job on this piece.
Another way to do water or other liquid streams is to have some clear fishing line on hand. It works like a charm.
Great looking fountain. I'm going to make something like it

As a Bloodcell i approve his point.

Instead of your speed paint, you may want to try some acrylic ink mixed with a little acrylic medium. WAY better value.
WOW!!! Very cool!!!
Great idea.
