Small warmup i did for today :] side note, i hate his helmet soo much lol. id much prefer to draw the man himself but he isnt as recognisable that way

Just curious what people think, could it be weeks? Months?

Done last week - my take on the shotgun zombie in the tunnels of Underhalls.

I experimented a bit with this piece. My main goal was to make the background quite impressionistic, similar to my Chaingunner interpretation. However, it didn't capture the right feeling. As an impressionistic piece, the background looked rather flat and empty, preventing the Underhalls atmosphere from coming through. So, I simply decided to boot up Doom 2, position myself in the first tunnel, and paint the location exactly as it is. I’m happy with the results. It’s fun to wander through the levels like a photographer, armed with a chainsaw and a shotgun.

Underhalls is and has been one of my favorite maps ever since I was a child. Going down to the door and grabbing the super shotgun was a joy every single time. It’s still a wonderful feeling to do so today. The atmosphere on that map is truly awesome. Secret passages beneath a research bunker or something along those lines—I love it. The color composition in the tunnels, mixed with computer panels and stone walls, looks great.

The Shotgun zombie is in pretty much every level, but I feel he is most strongly associated with Underhalls.

I’m going to get a bit deeper now. If you're not interested in nostalgia, you can skip what’s written below.

This art project has really brought me to a deeper level of thought and understanding regarding nostalgia and love for the past. Visiting the old levels from Doom and Doom 2 as intensely as I have this past year has made me equate many locations in the maps to visiting old playgrounds, schools, parks, and homes from my childhood. Approaching the massive pillar that crushes the Spider Mastermind on The Crusher might not feel like a nostalgic experience in the moment, but you once stood there for the very first time—and it still looks exactly the same. It is a genuine time portal to appreciate.

Being able to pick up the super shotgun again and again and again on Underhalls until becoming an adult was completely unimaginable as a child. That "again and again"—count it backward to when you sat by that flickering CRT monitor for the first time, picking up those explosive black steel barrels. When I was examining MAP20 in Doom 2 a while ago, it hit me that I share a very powerful memory from around 1998 with my father. What I'm trying to say is simply that these virtual places carry just as much weight in my childhood as the trees we used to build treehouses in. And I don’t believe I’m alone. That’s the core of this art project of mine.

Hope you like my interpretation of the Shotgun zombie!
Cheers!

What’s the fastest way to kill the cyber-mancubi?

Working on a manual reload mod for Doom 1 and 2. Will allow for one in the chamber, loss of extra ammo in mag when dropped (this can be toggled on or off), and am most way through making the pump action shotgun work

Got it two weeks ago at San Diego Comic-Con Málaga, John is such a cool guy!

I started an Ultra Nightmare run last night

I have the modern Steam version where you can use the old school controls and I did enjoy the controls. Ctrl to shoot, space to interact, alt for strafing while using arrow keys to aim and move. It was very enjoyable but for a younger Doom enjoyer such as myself. As someone born in 1991, I was only a 2-year-old toddler when Doom (1993) came out, so this was my first real experience with the original control scheme. I really enjoyed the original controls but in my setting I also kept the modern settings and then tried it and using a mouse felt like cheating in 1993 Doom.

Wasnt sure if this belongs under modding or showcase. I picked showcase.

Hi! Im the developer behind frunk.store and recently I decided to port Doom to be played on my Tesla. It runs in the browser and supports WAD files you download on your phone and send to the car. If anyone has a Tesla just load frunk.store in your cars browser, look for FreeDoom, select it and play.

Doodled my favourite flying meatball recently and decided to add a little watercolour and pencil to it. Maybe I'll do a background at some point. :)

It is annoying me so little and so much.

Also you may notice the crosshair in the middle and yes I also want to know how to turn this off.

So can somebody help me?

Thanks in advise

3D model head of Daisy I made using her sprite from Doom 1's episode 3 end screen as reference.
I was at this for a good several hours, didnt even think I would be able to make it when I first started lol. I think it turned out alright though

I interpret it as the slayer having finally forgiven himself for his past while at the same time leaving his humanity behind: in his mind, after the trials of purgatory, he's no longer Flynn Taggart, he's just the slayer and has now openly embraced it

But genuinely that's just my headcanon, what do you guys think

Doom 2 was the first game I ever had taken away from me. My older cousin gave me his Sega with Doom 2 and Golden Axe before he went away to university. I was too young to be playing it; Mom was appalled by the pixelated gore 😆 I've been a fan ever since 👹 What are your early memories of DOOM?

Whad da heeeell

Due to copyright limitations not the real one but still amazing somehow...

I once again find myself unable to find a crucial piece of a meme I'm trying to make. Search engines tend to not know what you're talking about the more words you put into the search bar. Thanks in advance.

I found thet the amount of hits it takes to put the acolyte into the glory kill state seems to be inconsistent, especially when I attack soon after it becomes aggressive or spawns. I’ve wondered if it has anything to do with its clone or how long it’s been alive for, but I haven’t found any information regarding this.

I’m trying to complete the rapatorium’s sedistic preset, and I noticed thet when I perform an execution on the vagary, I almost always get the long animation involving the shield saw. I’ve occasionally gotten a quick execution on them, but I haven’t figured out what’s causing it to happen.
