printz Posted June 29, 2006 This Doom 2 texture. Looks like a fantasy tale (game). Is it an easter egg? 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofhell Posted June 29, 2006 I'd be able to take a peek myself if I could get a zoomed in version of the image. Clicking on it only sent me to image shack, but your image wasn't there. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted June 29, 2006 I was wondering about this myself recently. Didn't find anything out though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted June 29, 2006 I'm pretty sure I've seen the original. Very out of my ass keyword searches are not helping though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Technician Posted June 30, 2006 I think if anything it has some greek refference. I don't know, just a feeling. If only we could maybe get ahold of Adrian. 0 Share this post Link to post
Craigs Posted June 30, 2006 It looks like some kind of dude in a loin clothe with a gargoyol head holding some shiny green shit over his head. 0 Share this post Link to post

If only we could maybe get ahold of Adrian. prometheus maybe? actually, I think it may just be some random "cool looking" art that they made up for the game and not based on anything. maybe it's supposed to represent some hero in the demon world. who knows but the guy who made the texture. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted June 30, 2006 Actually I'd love to get an interview of Adrian. He's the underdog of id and I'm sure he has really good stories behind the art and characters he's done. 0 Share this post Link to post

Vegeta Posted June 30, 2006 I allways though it was some kind of archvile posing like a female. But now looking at it better, looks like some kind of warrior, yet it chest and body (but with some kind of armor) is a bit of a female (so his head but just a little bit), and there's some kind of monster behind him, that yeah looks a bit like tentacle rape. I suppose id wouldn't include something like this, and judging by the reduced quality because of the resize, probably it was the cover art for some never released game (then resized and recoloured), yet why it's looking to the sky is something I can't imagine, may be it was the victory pic of DOOM 2, then droped for great justice. Looks like something to ask to Romero. Edit: it also looks very remotly like the Quake guy (same helmet, axe, armor and legs a bit similar). 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted June 30, 2006 If it's Lovecraft stuff then I can see it work in Doom, since it appears in Petersen's levels, who himself is a Lovecraft fan. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted June 30, 2006 I always thought it looked like some sort of cherub, but then i never looked at it too closeley... I'm gonna jump in with a pointless suggestion that its Joan Of Arc 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted July 4, 2006 Vegeta said: may be it was the victory pic of DOOM 2, then droped for great justice. Nope. I bet it's the box cover or title pic of some game. I even had the impression someone had found out what it is, but maybe I'm imagining things. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bank Posted July 4, 2006 When you take it into paint and outline the figure. Excepting the top arm, and including the small hand coming out of the left side, it looks very much like the Cyberdemon from the Doom2 title. 0 Share this post Link to post
