Thanks Jit
Yes I agree, the face expression could do with showing more pain or sorrow, although the idea I’m playing with in my mind, would make his face hard to show expresion. Kinda Cenobytes from Hellraiser. Is the nearest i can explain at the moment. I feel he should be of a creature that comes to take the sins, instead of human.
As the Sin Eaters where the ones who took on everones sins, they would be given a small fee afterwards and that hastly pushed out of the house and chased of with sticks, stones and anything else the villagers could use with hate. So I feel he should look quite a sorrowfull and lonsome creature, yet dark and tortureus.
You asked what religion, the sin eaters where, as i’m aware it was and English practice from medival times, with cases being reported upto recent times, amazingly. So I’m Guessing its Christian.
Thanks for looking and commenting on my last thread, by the way. People commented on the skulls but not the main Pic eeven though there was a thousand viewings. So I started to wonder if I was offending people with the my tongue in cheek view of Occult Symbolism, even though to me the title said it all.
Anyway thanks for your kind words and I shall post the progress with this one sooon.
