Figured I should make some kind of commital to this challenge.
Piccies, all rough sketches.

Rargh, hes a executioner, and he likes chopping things.
Hardly an inspired and original character, but I think a fairly straight forward idea will work fairly well.
Kinda got the idea after seeing Prisoner of Azkaban, Macnair looked like a mean bastard, and I thought that it could be a cool idea, I've unfortunately not been able to find any pictures of him though.
I won't blather on anymore, gotta head into work now.. Damnit. Updates to come.

Figured I better upload something a little more substantial while I've had time to do it.
Two shots, fairly self explanatory each one.. Still working on fixing some of the facial problems.
You could argue that all that alot of the detail will get obscured by the mask, but crap, I think with the polycount, I may as well attempt to do the job right, rather than rely on the hood to hide things.
Blah blah, as usual I love the sound of my own typing. Comments, Crits. Throw 'em at me.
i like the high cheekbones........ and the dull and dreary 'im gunna cut yer ed of!' look about him..
kinda like .......'this is gunna hurt you more than its going to hurt me.......... and i dont give a shit..'
i hope you keep that .........
it would be good to see some really crappy teeth... and gums......
Looks cool, my only crit is (and i dont know if it matters but) with the mask off he looks less like the old crazy man type character, you said you wanted to do the face right but its up to you if it really matters. I think it lies in the eye holes on the mask giving him the needed low brow/droopy under eye ring effect (if that makes sense).
Cool one saucey Bob. I have some thoughts on the concept (if you'll indulge me). Now don't you need to get some undead mutant action into your concept? I've been reading the threads on "Survival/Horror" and I think that sort of thing is required. Now I know you executioner is a axe weilding maniac but for the comp he may need to be dead. Or a least not very well. Head model looks good dude. Just offering my 2 cents worth. Cheers!
give him a necklace with the big toes of all his victims, or his head garb is made out of their eyelids, or he has a "chalk marks" tattooed into his chest of how many he's killed (which glow with the heat of the innocents souls)... go to town! horror shouldn't equal shambling undead, else it gets old too quick in my opinion.
As is, He kinda reminds me of the bumbling torture guy in Shrek at the moment... keep on thinking he'd have a warcraft peasant voice and say "ahyuck!" a lot [;)]
cool idea, executioner kinda fits the horror bill pretty neatly :)
