This is my first icon. Its rather simple. A bloody hook chain with a flesh/blood-like background. Nothing unique really, but I suppose its a start.

Enjoy!

Edit: Sharpened the image to reduce blurriness as well as make the fluid more red.

I have the psd file. I dont have a bigger image because if I work with a bigger image and then resize it down, it begins to compress the pixels. I uploaded the wrong version, I forgot to redefine the lines. But ill upload the psd file. The reason it looks really blurry is because the method I use is a smudge in combination with a blur. I outline using basic colors, then I proceed using the smudge tool to stretch the image. I figured that stretching it would effect the image too much as long as I outline it. Anyhow heres the psd as well as the improved version. I know this is a terrible method, but I was experimenting to see how much the quality is affected with a blur and smudge method in conjunction with filters.

Edit: Below is the improved version, and not the blurry one I posted up above. Its because I forgot to redefine the lines.
Should I reupload the better one?

...after googling "What bleeds pink" nothing showed up, I believe its unrealistic for the blood to be pink... unless you make some pink-bleeding race... quickly. Red would obviously be suitable for this icon if you want it to look like blood is gushing out, or be realistic.

However, nice job on the icon itself, useful for gory hook spells.

Actually, I googled it too and found this.
