A Doom Tribute That Also Kind of 'Fixes' Doom's Box Art

This is not a knock on [[link]] the original, iconic Doom box art, gorgeously illustrated by the late great Don Ivan Punchatz. This is just a tribute. But some may consider it a “fix” of the artwork that graced id’s early ’90s shooter.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/don-ivan-punchatz-doom-box-artist-dies-at-73-5394609 This is the work of “Agent Scarlet,” an artist we’ve featured [[link]] more than once on Kotaku. It does service to the classic Doom cover by populating it with the hellspawn we’ve come to know and fear over the past decades. [[link]] It also extracts some of the creative license Punchatz took with Doom‘s simple graphics, taking some of the original Mega Man-like qualities out of its box art. Mostly, though, it injects some Doom 3 sensibility into the piece and expands its bestiary. At the very least, it gives us a more modest, less midriff-exposing “Doomguy” as our hero.
