Description I drew this for my brother, today is his birthday.

Doom is one of his most favorite videogames of all time, it's one of those games we grew up with. As much as I love and enjoy it, he's certainly alot better at it than I am. Seriously, he knows the original Doom like the back of his hand! If there's one game that he's perfected his skills at since the mid-90s, it's Doom. If there is one game that he's enthusiastically played through again and again, it's Doom. If there's one game that he's played several versions of, from the original on the PC, to the crappy ports made for home consoles, to the downloaded version off Xbox Live Arcade, it's Doom. Okay, bottom line, my brother loves Doom, and he's freakishly good at it!

Like I said, I really enjoy Doom also, so I had alot of fun drawing this for him. Gotta love the classic Doom marine! I had alot of fun drawing the helmet too. Oh, interesting fact, the infamous shotgun from classic Doom is actually based on a toy gun; the Tootsie Toy Dakota cap gun. I actually had 5 or 6 of these toys when I was a kid, and they'd all end up breaking sooner or later! I think I made the shotgun in my picture here look more like a Winchester 1200 Defender: [link]

I'm glad you think so!

Hehe, yeah, Doom 2 is twice as fun as the first one, simply because of the new enemies, and of course, the sawed-off shotgun.>:3

Thank you so much for the feedback!^^ I plan on doing more Doom fanart eventually.

I actually like the pump shotgun in the ye olde Do0m better than the one in Do0m 3zors. My very first Do0m was for 32X. Probably the worst version of Do0m (or one of the worst), but at the time, I lufft it lots. It didn't have enough levels and the screen was letterboxed. Nowadays, there's Do0m Remake, Z-Do0m, J-Do0m, and plenty of mods and .wad files of do0m of demented do0m of demdo0m.

Electric Iggy rides again! Of course, the classic pump shotgun has a real vintage, mid-20th century riot gun look to it! Although you gotta admit, the classic look and wooden furniture really don't mix with a futuristic setting on Mars. Like I said in the description, id Software actually used a Tootsie Toy Dakota pump cap gun as a reference for the original Doom shotgun: [link] I had quite of few of these when I was a little boy, they'd always break after cycling the forearm after a certain number of times, and I'd always end up getting a new one. Dad even made me a little shotgun rack for it, I remember.

Oh, speaking of my dad, Doom was his most favorite game. He was also pretty good on it too, he was able to complete Doom II on the "Ultraviolence" difficulty. I also bought a copy of Doom for the 32X off Amazon over a year ago! My brother and I are such nerds for Doom, we're trying to get every console port. Indeed, alot of those ports were bad, and it took at least ten years before there'd be a near-perfect version true to the original on the PC.

Thanks for the fave, Iggy! Every FPS fan knows their roots!

I always thought the Do0m shotgun lo0ked like a Mossberg 500. And I agree that it doesn't fit with the whole futuristic UAC/Space Marines on Mars theme. But on the other end of the spectrum, the Do0m 3 shotgun lo0ks like a pile of scrap metal put together by a n0ob that doesn't know anything about guns. And it functions about the same way. And it has to0 much spread. And you cock it when it ought not be cocked (every time you pull it out even if a round's already chambered).

It's interesting you say that, because it's a common misconception that the original Doom shotgun is based on the Remington 870.

Looking at the redesign of the shotgun in Doom 3, it really does look like an overly-futuristic movie prop assembled from various kitchen appliances, so I agree with you on that. Also, the pistol has that same problem too with unecessary weapon-cocking every time you draw it. As I recall, that problem was prevelant in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as well.

You've gotta admit, this does lo0k like a Do0mgun. I don't recall any weapon being cocked in Do0m other than the pump shotgun. You can actually see the slide reciprocate on the pistol, though. I think the pistol vaguely resembles a Beretta 92.

GangsterLovin In reply to IggyHazard [2009-11-28 05:36:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, is that an original Mossberg 500 Persuader with classic wooden furniture? Indeed, it certainly does resemble a classic Doom shotgun. Hehe, well game design and programming has come such a long way since the mid-90s, it must've been pretty tedious to do the cocking/loading animations. (I always loved the reload animation for 'ole double-barrel in Doom II!)

Now that you mention it, my sources indicate that the classic Doom pistol was based on the Beretta 92!

Awww, thank you so much for the positive words! I was originally going to just draw the marine, but at the last minute, I decided to go all out! My brother loves the Doom series so much, I just had to draw this for him!

Thank you so much for the fave, too!

Hehe, I'm not surprised, I heard the original Doom was heavily restricted in Europe.

Doom 3 is still lots of fun though! It's like a modern take on Doom.

I remember we talked about Doom a long time ago.

Yeah, my brother better like it, or I'm gonna kick his ass!>_< Hehe, but I know he'll love it.^^
