Working on 3D Printables + modern depictions of the Classic Demons + Doomguy.

[doomspoons3d]

Hi,

Been quite inspired lately from replaying Doom 1 and 2, and I wanted to do some 3D models as tribute (and as 3D printables!)

Working through every enemy currently. I'll post progress here periodically. I wanted to be around 80% faithful to the original designs, making changes here and there (like the Imp not being noseless)

The prints and raw model files (with pbr textures) will be available on my Gumroad.

Feel free to give feedback/ideas!

These look professional quality - really nice interpretations of the sprites!

The remade imp body looks alright but I'm not really shure about it's face.

It looks abit too zombie/revenant-ish.

 

You might be better off using that as a base for a Lost Soul or a Revenant head instead, otherwise you might

end up with 3 demons with a similar skull-like face.

Finally! A Doomguy that looks like the original Adrian's sketch and model, as opposed to Don Punchatz artwork which Bethesda uses for the classic Doomguy reference nowadays.

Mannnn somewhat unrelated but why didn't they go with the Adrian model for Classic Doomguys armor in Doom Eternal and other places! It looks so much better!

Anyways, these models are amazing! People said Classic Dooms demons would be too silly looking to be intimidating but you did an AMAZING job turning that Imp 3D and making it look threatening!

Doom cover art is the most famous and iconic depiction of classic Doomguy. I mean, you see it on the title screen. Of course in Bethesda's mind it's the canon look. Most people probably saw actual Doomguy sprite in action only in Doom II ending sequence.

Yeah im aware, but man the Adrian / ingame version looks so much cooler and it makes me sad :( But oh well.

This is true, didn't consider the skull motif lapsing into potential visual homogeny. Revenant will be completely eyeless and the lost soul could be tweaked a bit to be less like a conventional skull. Who knows. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

To be honest this entire project is birthed out of pure spite from how much I dislike the classic skin in Eternal - the original clay model clears in terms of being a memorable design (imo) so I'm glad there are fellow doom fans who share a level of love for the true Doomguy design :>

Thank you! More to come.

 

[Gifty]

These look utterly fantastic so far, really like your interpretation of the imp.

[doomspoons3d]

Doomguy is finished. Gonna print him tonight.
360 render:

 

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

I love that Imp, especially his face. He would fit well in some kind of DOOM/Blood crossover. Probably the best Imp I've seen anybody create.

[Doom Mastermind]

You could be inspired by the latex models they made for some monsters.

 

If you don't know what I mean, these are:

 

[DiceByte]

Damn you made the imp 1993 look good in 3d. I thought it was impossible, but you did it! Good job! And the Doomguy also looks awesome. I want a mini version of that model on my shelf. I’d like to see what you would do with the other demons!

[doomspoons3d]

 

Been trying to conjure up some poses for Doomguy. Surprisingly hard to pose with how bulky he is. Will update later with how the prints come out.

I've been referencing these and the Doom 64 sculptures mutually. Hyped to do the Revenant.

Thank you! I wanted to avoid the screaming noseless face that other interpretations go for. They're valid, but I think the Imp would be drawn with nostrils if they had more resolution to work with.

That's some high praise, thank you :]

 

[doomspoons3d]

Prints came out well, doing a photoshoot now. Here's some renders in the meantime.

[doomspoons3d]

There we go. Tempted to do more poses, but I need to move onto the Zombieman and Shotgunner.

[ivymagnapinna]

Pleasure to come across you here, Doomspoons! These models all look great so far, I love Doomguy's especially, he's got some really nice shapes to him.

You've probably thought of this already but it would be cool to reference the MARBFAC2 texture when you're doing the Archvile, I love the weird face tubes it has here and it would be cool as hell to see those translated into 3d.

Likewise! And yeah, this wall tex will absolutely be my primary reference for the Archvile's face - very gigeresque

A bit unrelated, I think a gun was supposed to go there, but I saw him holding an air guitar, so I gave him an ACTUAL guitar.

[WASFDDDDD]

Why do these remind me of classic DND figures?

 

Like the kind of plastic figurines they used to sell in the 90s for gaming tables. They look so unrefined, but so charming because of that.

[aRottenKomquat]

Okay this is really cool. I've long wanted to 3D print a Doom chess set but I'm not that good a modeler and there aren't really any quality models that I could find. I wanted to export models from Voxel Doom but the format isn't something I knew how to work with. This might fit the bill perfectly!

Guitar Hero Doom.  Someone get on that

Teaser, still finding the design

Looks good… except for the hands. The human hands make it look cursed. However, the rest of it is looking good so far. Plus, once you have done the baron of hell, you can recolour it to match the hell knight and call it a day (and a hell knight).

Oh yeah, haven't even sculpted the hands yet - worry not, its just a basemesh remnant :)

Definitely going to go with beefcake claws, I just like to give everything human hands to start with to have something i can fuck around with

And for the hell knight, I could recolour it but I want to make it somewhat distinct whilst still looking like the '94 design

Edited March 31 by doomspoons3d

[doomspoons3d]

Baron is almost done. Yellow eyes or green eyes?

[DiceByte]

Flip a coin of something to decide. Or just choose. It ain’t that important of a detail. Or maybe it is. I don’t know. Maybe yellow eyes?

I would kill for a replica of this archvile figurine... although I can't wait to see what rendition of the archvile doomspoons comes up with too! The models you have so far look really impressive, and I like how much detail you put into the barons legs. I always wished later Doom games made the barons and hell knights look more like satyrs rather than roided out imps lol.

[Dr. DiegO]

I already saw this on Newgrounds, but again, fantastic work.
