thecringefactor’s art thread

This is my second ever drawing of anything doom (first was eternal’s slayer, not posted here). I accepted a challenge from seeing a bunch of people in a server with marauder OCs to try my hand at one.

OC implies that there’s some backstory or characterization, but like I have time for any of that 🗿 it’s just a sketch. Iffy on whether I should go on to coloring cause I don’t know what palette I’d go for.

Edit: I don’t want to look at my old work anymore I might contract eye disease or worse bad skill from it (artists get it)

Hey it’s been a while so have a Crash from Quake III Arena sketch. 

Cause the original character is low poly I went wild with redesign and such.

Some people commented it looks a bit like the Slayer and yeah, I think I subconsciously borrowed some motifs from both Eternal and the classic fit as well as Crash so ye.

Well, according to the Quake 3 manual, Crash once was Doom's military instructor, and is called Doomgirl by many, at that they both have a helmet and armor equipped, so along with the fact that Doom Eternal's Doom Slayer model is a reworked Doomguy's reworked Doom Slayer's model, that makes sense ;)

Awesome work with both drawings, by the way!

Thanks! (Awesome, by the way, a fellow quake fan discovered it cause so far I’ve only been able to show other doom fans (who all thought I feminized doom slayer LMAO)). Ye, I love Crash but sadly I don’t know how in the world she would fit in the new doom games (better stick her in quake champions though).

So, would that make my redesign an *inhale* a reworked version of low poly Crash, which includes sections of the reworked version of Doom Eternal's Doom Slayer, which is a reworked praetor, which is also a rework of the classic sprite? (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

Haha, I wonder too :)

Well, I certainly wouidn't mind for Crash to appear as a new champion in QC, although I'd also like to see Hunter in this role :) I think, however, it could be really fun to play as Crash in the next Doom game as well, as long as the indroducing of the character is made with the right approach (I wouldn't be a fan of the analogy with Wolfenstein: Youngblood, for instance). Also, I think we definitely need more positive female characters in the Doom franchise (those like Dr. Elizabeth McNeil, not those like Khan Maykr :D), so maybe it would be a good idea to be able to switch between Doom and Crash, for example. Model-wise it's already possible in Q3, so why not in a future Doom game :]

Yeah, as a female, it would be an interesting switch up to play as one for once in doom. Though it really doesn’t matter, I just play whoever looks cooler/has the best stats anyways (I usually go for Doom, Ranger, or Crash in arena). There’s definitely always a way to write a character well, but I (personally) dunno about adding anyone other than doomguy as a playable in doom cause the entire series is built around the one main character

(if we continue this conversation might wanna do it on my wall so the mods don’t say something).
