Description
I always though the cacodaemon looked rather silly in the original Doom. In Doom 3 the design was a lot better, but they just ended up beign rather unremarkable, although unnecessarily hard to kill, because most longrange weapons in Doom 3 were borderline useless.The yellow bloated things are supposed to be some sort of floatation bladders, that are full of gas and whatnot, and popping all three drops this sucker into the ground. It will then proceed dragging along the surface with it's tentacles, blasting electric-bolts and whipping at the player mercilesly.
What monster to do next... Suggestions?

They made the classic design work in doom (2016)

The Demons in Classic Doom look cartoony because excessive detailing (uses your eyes or whatever) is too expensive at the time i think.

This is my favorite design of the cacodemon. And I would like to see a 3D model of it.

I was always amused by the fact that old cacodemon was literally just a head they cut off a pic of a dnd monster. I was underwhelmed by the doom 3 version but yours looks better, tentacles make anything better.

Before the new Doom game is released, you should send in your designs and see what they think. I'd love to have this thing stalking me down a dark hallway.

I think it's a bit late for that. But thank you for the kind words. Not long until DooM 2016!

I can hear the sound of fanboys saying that this copying from the Tyranids or Zerg.

I'm not that familiar with the franchise in question. So they might have a point, however accidental the resemblance might be.

Just saying. Anyways, I like the redesigns a lot. The Demons look much more intimidating to face.

Thank you very much ^-^

Very nice but I think it should have it's old eye with pupil and all.

Great redesign as always!
Speaking of cacodemons... what do you think of the new Doom 4 design?

Thank you very much. I'm actually digging the look of Doom 4 quite a bit

I think they're great too.

See, now this looks like an actual thing, that is scary and all that. As opposed to DooM 1 and 2's idea of "Meatball with teeth that can shoot stuff" and DooM 3's idea of "Floaty ball of boringness that just gets in the way". And the idea of being able to knock out its ability to float is really good. I want a game with this.

Thank you very much. I wasn't a big fan of the whole killer-tomato look myself back in the day.

I wish DOOM 3 Cacodemon was just like this!

Thanks. I wish there had been more cacodemons in Doom 3

I think if the Cacodemon would have looked like that in Doom 3, it would have been a lot creepier

Thanks. This is the design people seem to shun the most and ironically, is my favourite :C But it's good to have someone backing up my opinion : D

Don't listen what people says,this is your own personal redesign with your style,you decide how it should looks. And it looks awesome 
As a Doom fan,i really appreciate

Awwww :'3 Thanks. Yeah, I rarely listen to people, unless they are shouting that there is a sniper taking pot-shots at people : P You should really do something like this. It is actually pretty damn educative, especially if you're a videogame artist.

I'm gonna try with an old fashion Cacodemon when i have time

Not usually a big fan of change in design's but this is actually pretty good.

The bigger mouth and one eye on the original make it scarier :\ I like the tentacle idea though!

I liked the original Cacodemon. But when 64 gave it arms I thought it looked stupid. I was equally displeased with the Doom 3 design. This though... I like this. Except if it were up to me the Cacodemon would still be a simple floating spheroid-demon with one eye but with an updated design.

I do get that a lot, and I understand why people are upset with this design. It can easily come off as a huge, greasy middlefinger to the original design. It's just that I don't find sphere to be such a dramatic shape in itself. The silhouette itself needs to inspire some kind of sense of danger, and round is a very gentle and welcoming shape. Sorry about the art-faggotry : D
Thanks for all the comment. It's always awesome to get some constructive criticism from people who know what they're talking about 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. I think I understand your meaning from an art perspective. Though, be that as it may the shape of the old Cacodemon always made me go strafing for cover because I know that the Caco is anything but gentle or welcoming. Lol.

Without the light flare thing(no clue what it's called) it would look very menecing.

Could be. These are mostly just mental notes to myself until I get a decent enough computer to start working on the ingame models.
Thanks

I find every single version of Cacodemon (in the games) cute, including this one. >u<

They're like gigantic stress-balls :3 But instead of squeezing them like a misfigured boobie, you shoot them in the face.
