Description
Hammer-upon-anvil rang throughout the stone workshop as the great forge roared, casting warmth all about despite the chilling onset of Winter.The smith worked tirelessly, his assistant testing the tools and bringing new ones to be worked, curious goblins dancing betwixt their feet in awe.

I haven't been as productive as this image may (or may not) lead you to believe. I made this at the suggestion of a dear friend, and it's proven to be another piece I have thoroughly enjoyed making from beginning to end. I'm actually now considering taking that goblin (from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic) and turning him into an obnoxious little assistant... or pet. With a top hat.
It seems like fun, and probably going to be more fruitful than that Clap-Trap idea I had many months ago.

Can I ask you how to do a certain effect that I just can't get down?

Do you know how to make someone getting shot? Because when I try it just looks like crap and I can't get it down, plus I don't know how to make bullet tracers...

Well, there are a lot of things that go into that sort of pose or edit. The force from the hit needs to be believable, so the rest of the body should be moving appropriately to a sudden impact, which you can imitate yourself: just jerk the part of your body that's being hit, and let the rest of your body move with that.
As for the edit, the amount of blood from even a heart or headshot isn't as huge as movies would have you believe, so make sure you don't overdo it, and make sure what blood is spurting out has a good amount of motion and shape to it.
When it comes to bullet tracers, they're basically long, glowing, slightly jagged lines. They're generally quite long for a still considering they're moving at the same speed as the bullet, so keep that in mind. Make 'em too short and it'll look like a blaster shot.

Would the blood from the shot be coming out the front, or back?

Both, but mostly from the back.

Aaah, okay. What would I search up to find the best kind of blood to use, like would I just search up blood splat? Or should I make my own?

You should look for blood brushes for now. There are plenty available on dA.
