Current can be inferred as the character drinking blood from a goblet but I have no idea what the faces are supposed to be in the background. The caption is what carries it.

Current

"Sascha Vykos is a monster, long divorced from any lingering vestige of humanity. Her name is spoken in whispers even among Sabbat—her Sabbat—her face feared, no matter what shape it takes, and her cold cruelty yet more than the face."

There will be suggestions incoming.

Pull the current. That said I am not a fan of 2.1. as it seems a bit generic to me personally. 2.2 is my pick. The skulls in the background really sell it to me.

Could go either way on replacement. Kinda have problem seeing what is happening in 2.2, but it more unigue than 2.1.

I like the idea of the Tzimisce image, but I'm not sure the corpses are apparent enough, tbh.

I still really prefer the original picture to be honest. It has a lot more personality than the other options and it seems quite clear what it trying to be conveyed.

All i see is vampire drinking from a goblet, who has an army of monsters behind their back, without context ordinary people, who don't know the lore, will assume the army of monsters are generic minions and vampire might as well drink wine, with it being only strongly implied to be blood.

I love both 2.1 and Tzimisce images.

I think it is made clear it is a blood in the image given vampire and all. Still I love first Voormas image and Tzimisce one.

I don't really like any of these. At least over the current.

Tzisme would work if the skeletons were way more clear. But they blend together too much.

Keep the current imo. If we have to change it the 1st suggestion is the best.

I'm fine with the current if we decide it fits, but I do ultimately agree moreso with Vile's description that it's pretty generic altogether, being just "creature slurping what is implied to be blood while creepy things stand around it." Things like "monster surrounded by skulls" or "holding a decapitated head with blood splatter all around" certainly scream "pure evil" to me more, personally.

Just coming here to propose this image of Augustus Giovanni, at least you can clearly see the skulls and the skeletons behind him. https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/augustus1_min.png

Keep current > 6.1 > 18.1 > 7.1

I like the current, it's got personality. Though it would probably do better with a caption explaining the blob monster in the background is the main reason that Sascha is a monster.

Maybe "Sascha loves humans! They consider Humans as resources, test subjects, art materials, fun to torture, architecture, and guard dogs. Sometimes all at the same time."

Edit: Or "Sascha has a lot of mouths to feed. Mostly those of the victims they turned into fleshcrafted monstrosities. Or its own."

Mostly because Sascha thinks of themselves as a divine being and above humanity, and to play up the mental alien-ness the Tzimisce power of flesh crafting causes in it's practitioners. It's not essential and can be removed.
