Is this Doom? I think so ... Big picture.

I was locking around on the Internet's and found a sand structure that reminds me very much of doom

Spec the top 'Drain' someone?
All the screaming faces.

Varning... Big picture!

This is impressive. I wonder how long he was making it.

It's prolly for a movie, That looks so awesome though

That is fucking awesome. I want this as a marble statue of the same scale for my front yard.

What's funny is that the image loads up pixelated at first, like a map texture.

Isn't it Dante inspired (by the name)?

I don't see the resemblence to doom.

I'm really impressed!

After seeing those painful looking faces my first thought was "DOOM!" and I imagined the head at the eighth picture to be an imp. But it turned out to be something different.
But you are right, it reminds me of doom too, even if those devilish looking thingies are very common in those hellish environments and doom makes use of them a lot in its visuals.

It has to be based on the Inferno.

Been a long time since reading it, but I vaguely remember the description of Satan as a colossal "entity" with three faces, eternally gnashing/chewing the bodies of three of history's worst sinners.

I don't understand how people can sculpt like that... amazing.

It could have some sort of connection to Dante's Inferno the game coming up...

That's exactly what I thought. It reminds me of illustrations from the website.

Wow!

WTF? How does this not remind everyone of the Doom 2 intermission screen?

It lacks skeleton. It looks more like that scrolling faces texture. I'm open for someone to one-up-me with the bitmap name.

Doesn't look like Doom to me.

This. As if not the filename isn't a hint enough, it's certainly based on Dante's Inferno: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)#Ninth_Circle_.28Treason.29

This was pretty cool. And yeah, I can see the whole Doom thing in it.

Aside from the embedded faces, I don't see the resemblance. Seeing as E3 was named after Dante's Inferno, I'm sure there were plenty of textures that took their influence from the Divine Comedy's descriptions.

That being said, that 3-headed beast would make for one hell of a monster.

That looks pretty cool. The top bit certainly reminds me of Doom.

My first impression about this pic was hell itself. Look at the top, doesnt it looks like an old city made of sand, or stones?

Holy fuck. I'll be damned if that's not commissioned! And if it isn't.......then holy FUCK
