Ha, those Quake ones look great too! Looking forward to seeing the fiend and the ogre, especially...

If doing these has taught me anything it's that Quake has terrible graphics.
I was visiting a QuakeWorld related forum recently, after having set the game up, and there was this guy going on about how to set Quake up to look good and modern, and it made the models look quite horrible due to the combination of GL effects and their simplicity (not to mention he had replaced the original gritty and low res textures with over-clean high res ones).
I do like how the models look in software mode in lower resolutions, though, where the simpler polygons just serve as a base that fits in the pixelated but moody environment.
Quake was developed on low res and 8-bit, and it shows, thus increasing resolution or adding special effects isn't really going to make it look better, just different and most probably worse.
