Current image isn't so great. Maybe this?

No issue with the current.

I support the new image, current image is generic villain posing with some minions behind. Like there is no victim or sights of destruction to make it look like a monster image. The stuff about people behind the villain being his victims, who he corrupted is extremely unclear.

I like the current. Neither are exemplary but Sascha's image is a lot more explicitly evil-looking than "some dude with some other dude's head."

Yeah, I'd say Sascha casually drinking blood out of a goblet is a pretty clear indication of evilness.

[up]By the look of the image, it may as well be wine.

And i thought the monster on the image of the page should not just look evil, but also shown with victims or doing an atrocity, that would show off his depravity.

The stains on his fingers and the stains it leaves as it trails down the challice makes it pretty clear that it's blood and not wine.

I'd also argue that it's still pretty clear there's a victim from the fact that he has a challice filled with blood.

Voting to keep current. The it's-wine-in-the-cup argument strikes me as a Red Paint argument, given you don't dip your fingers in wine and lick it. Current also has a good vibe of "sociopath serial killer" vs. "brutal whip-fighter" in the proposed. Both are scary, but the former seems more malicious and menacing to me.

Keep current as showing more victims and relishing in their blood.

Keep current. I agree that "looks like wine" is a little red-painty, judging from the bright red color, the stains, and the licking. The suggestion isn't as unsettling; a beheading isn't that far into monstrous territory.

I’ll go with either, and who are the current and suggested characters?

The current character is Sascha Vykos. Don't know who the suggested on is.

Right now I'm counting 10 votes to 2 or 3 in favor of the current, so I'd say that's enough consensus. I've updated the tag; locking up.
