A nasty one for you!
Doesn't really work that well but what the heck? Blood is so hard to get right.
I quite like the background on this one though so I might re-do without the wolves etc.
Comments welcome

Oh I don't know. I think the wolves are a nice touch. Savagery on beauty. They look a little shiney though, plus I don't get why the blood is dragged off to both sides. Did he drag the other one to the right and then realise he was off camera The main thing to do I think is make the snow look a little more crunchy. It looks more vanilla at the minute. This might work

Then we have another child surface, named Snow_grainy surface: this is another surface layer with max slope constraint set on a bit lower value than the others, to limit his action on top of the snow. It creates a fuzzy and grainy surface using a power fractal shader as displacement function, with very small values.

Thanks for the comments. The blood was very hard to place, it's a layer of fake stones with very limited alt/slope values because I don't know much about using masks etc.
The snow is supposed to be melting and I think it looks right for what I needed. I"m familiar with the embossed look and might give it a try here.

How many gallons of blood were in that wolve? It's splattered all across the landscape!

I like the snow on the hill to the right best!

This is looking good, (I might even steal your snow heheb but make it crunchier )
I agree about the shininess of the wolves. These are from Poser if I remember rightly which if you have an up to date version dose fur and hair quite well. See if you can match the lighting and camera positions and try a composite render using the best aspects of each app.
Good luck

Love it!!! Ok, I see it this way: they began fighting from left to right then got back a little and ended that position. It really added realism to me...
