Swec Posted January 27, 2010 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! http://villafanestudios.com/Dantescroll.jpg //Martin 0 Share this post Link to post

Nomad Posted January 27, 2010 That is fucking awesome. I want this as a marble statue of the same scale for my front yard. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted January 27, 2010 What's funny is that the image loads up pixelated at first, like a map texture. Isn't it Dante inspired (by the name)? 0 Share this post Link to post
MSPaintR0cks Posted January 27, 2010 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vorpal Posted January 28, 2010 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Macro11_1 Posted January 28, 2010 It could have some sort of connection to Dante's Inferno the game coming up... 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted January 28, 2010 WTF? How does this not remind everyone of the Doom 2 intermission screen? 0 Share this post Link to post

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 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted January 28, 2010 This was pretty cool. And yeah, I can see the whole Doom thing in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Snakes Posted January 28, 2010 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted January 28, 2010 That looks pretty cool. The top bit certainly reminds me of Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sergeant_Mark_IV Posted January 28, 2010 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? 0 Share this post Link to post
