Createx Illustration Bloodline Series

Createx Illustration Bloodline Series

Designed by Tim Gore for hyper-real effects

The Createx Illustration Bloodline Series is a masterpiece collaboration between Createx Colors and special effects artist Tim Gore, designed to recreate the most convincing organic tones for skin, wounds, and biological detailing. These airbrush paints are a favorite among character painters, modelers, and FX artists who need depth, translucency, and lifelike realism in every layer.

Every color in the Createx Illustration Bloodline Series is engineered for artists who demand high control and natural blending. These paints are transparent yet intensely pigmented, making them perfect for building up subtle tones or rich shadows. The Bloodline palette captures the nuances of human and creature anatomy — from fresh arterial reds to aged bruises and decayed hues — all while maintaining the smooth flow and fine atomization Createx is known for.

What makes Bloodline unique

These paints go beyond ordinary reds or browns. Each shade in the Createx Illustration Bloodline Series is crafted for realistic layering and visual complexity. Developed with an ultra-matte binder and delayed curing for maximum workability, the paints can be reactivated with water or reducer for blending and detail work.

Key features include:

• Ultra-matte finish – Ideal for natural, non-glossy effects like blood, wounds, or flesh tones.
  It eliminates unwanted shine under lights or photography.

• Delayed curing time – Gives you more open working time for blending, soft shading, and subtle gradients.

• Reactivatable with reducer or water – Perfect for fine corrections or soft transitions in portrait and horror work.

• Optimized for airbrush and hand-painting – Can be thinned to spray through detail nozzles or brushed for precise control.

• Permanent and flexible when dry – Once fully cured, Bloodline colors are durable, resistant, and suitable for mixed media and prop painting.

Available colors and sets

The Createx Illustration Bloodline Series includes over a dozen expertly formulated tones:

• Coagulated Crimson 5040 – Deep arterial red ideal for fresh blood and wound bases.
• Injury Ochre 5037 – A muted yellow-brown for aged bruising and decomposition effects.
• Dermatitis Tan 5036 – For subtle skin inflammation tones and creature underlayers.
• Vascular Violet 5041 – The perfect undertone for veins and subdermal shading.

Each bottle is available in 1oz, 2oz, and set formats, compatible with Illustration Reducer 4012 and Transparant Base 4004 for adjusting viscosity and transparency.
