To Bleed or not to Bleed....

| Currently I am making a suit of Berserker Armour.
However before proceeding to painting, I wish to seek opinion on whether to add blood to the armour.
I wish to "intimately" capture the dark, brutal violence of Guts and the Berserker armour, but keep it within good tastes.
I have bloodied, The Dragon Slayer:

But I am undecided if this will provide enough constrast for the overall image I am try to portray.
My idea for blood on the Berserker Armour is something along the lines of this:

This is far too excessive:

I will value and appreciate any input. |

| Are you injured or blood from the enemy? If it is the enemy it should be more splatter than dripping down I think

| I probably should mention a little bit about it it:
| Spoiler: | | | The armour literally hold Guts together by temporarily fixing injuries by binding bleeding wounds, reinforcing broken bones, etc. It does this by piercing the body from within the armor with thin barbs and spikes if required.
It also over-rides the subconscious limtis that prevents wearer from injuring themselves.
As Guts "naturally" pushes him self to his physical limits, and sometimes further. The armour kind of enhances in a grotesque the dark, bloody violence of Guts |
More to the point, it's not blood from an enemy, but from from injuries/use. But as I mentioned I don't really want to add blood to the armour if the bloodied sword provides enough contrast.

| Maybe a bit of blood will tie the sword to the armour
