Look what I found on a flash drive I managed to get stuff from my old computer onto before the thing died a year or so ago. I'd forgotten all about this. I know these pieces technically aren't my art, but putting them together is always so fun. Gives you a way to see how things have "evolved" over the years for these things. A lot of sprites never got onto here back when I used to work on it so I took the last day to go across the internet and find what I could to put on here. The hardest was probably the Arch-Vile and Arachnotron for the upcoming Doom Eternal since, ya know...we don't really have clear views of their models yet. Gotta get creative with how to fill things in sometimes.

Overall I'd say that the original Doom is probably the most iconic but I might actually like the latest Doom games (2016-onwards thus far) the most in designs. Really only the Cyberdemon, Cacodemon, Hell Knight/Baron of Hell, and maybe the Revenant are all that great to me. The others are mostly solid, but kind of...puffy or goofy sometimes to me. Props for making actual figures of those that they took pictures of to make the sprites from though. Really gives off a cool effect in the game with all the angles they did for each figure.

Doom 64...it...okay it's bleh. WAY too dark. You can hardly tell what things are supposed to look like half the time with how shadowy everything is. I mean who can tell that the Pain Elemental has hair while playing it? And why did they make the Cacodemon look like the Pain Elemental used to? It's nice that it actually does continue from the original games, but it'd also be nice if the game had brighter sprites. At least the Arachnotron looks cool though. Real futuristic looking compared to the previous incarnation,

Doom 3 had some neat ideas. The Cacodemon in that is...very different, but it was always neat to me how you could see its brain and stuff. The Pinky Demons were a drastic change. The robo-legs make it kind of cool, but it doesn't really resemble the previous looks for it. I'd say the Arachnotron looks great, but it never appeared in the actual final game, so I can't REALLY count that...

For the latest games though it's very neat to me. Harkens back a lot to the classic designs. The Pinkie Demon looks vicious as hell, Cacodemon is actually menacing looking while looking more like the original, the Arachnotron's gonna look neat along with the Pain Elemental, the Spider Mastermind looks BAD ASS, and it's just all around a great style. Oh and Revenant's never looked cooler.

That being said I've NEVER been a fan of some of these guys. The Imps are completely forgetable to me. In the original he's just a guy with spikes, 64...is bleh, 3 he's a gray...humanoid, and even now it's...it's like they gave it a more drastic look simply cause "it's an imp. We need to give it something to make it stand out". The Cyberdemon doesn't really look like a Cyberdemon to me in the new ones, but dear lord, the one I could never tolerate the look of actually looks decent now. The Mancubus was always just some fat guy with rocket launcher arms. That's...dumb. That's not cool at all it's just some doofus. In the latest games he has all this tech integrated into him that gives it actual personality for once.

One last thing. I don't know if this was the intent, but I was always under the impression that Maledict (the big dragon guy that's the final villain of the Doom 3 series) was supposed to be a more mobile version of the Icon of Sin. That's not why I put them together. I was just going to put all the unique final bosses there, but the Demon Queen or whatever from 64 just looked so dumb next to them that I left her out. Sorry for those wanting a complete Demon list, but tons were missing anyhow to begin with. This is just for the ones that appear regularly for the most part
