This is not a knock on 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 artwork that grace id’s early ’90s shooter.
This is the work of “Agent Scarlet”, an artist we’ve featured more than once on Kotaku. It does service to the classic Doom cover by actually populating it with the hellspawn we’ve come to know and fear over the past decades. It also extracts some of the creative licence Punchatz took with Doom‘s simple graphics, taking some of the Mega Man-like qualities out of its box art.
