It's just a color map using a turbulated mandel pattern. I have it set 
up as a macro using a color ("Red" from colors.inc) passed as a 
parameter, and rbgt 1 to make it layerable. Depending on how it is 
adjusted you can get some interesting textures. The image below shows a 
convincing raw meat texture (I've forgotten the parameters to get that 
texture) but it was several layers using Red and White.

#macro BloodShot(N, T, C, S)
texture{
         pigment {
                 mandel (5000  * RRand(1, 5, N)) / S
                 turbulence RRand(0.2, 10.9, N)
                 rotate <0, 0, RRand(0, 360, N)>
                 translate T
                 color_map {
                         [0.010  rgbt 1]
                         [0.010 C ]
                         [0.210 C ]
                         [0.210 rgbt 1]
                         [0.900 rgbt 1]
                         [0.900  C ]
                         [0.900  C ]
                         [0.990 rgbt 1]
                 }
         }
}
#end

I'm thinking of adding actual veins to the monster's head and body. This 
thing is far from being done :-)
