For starters, I'm a huge fan of Doom and have been for years since I first saw my dad play it as a kid, so Doom has always held a special place in my heart.

Now if you've read my journal entry with the character name meme, [link] you'll notice that my character Talon used to have a base in Doom. So I decided to draw her in Doomguy armor. Granted it's not exact, because I kinda melded the look of Crash from Quake 3 and the classic Doomguy. Of course she's holding my favorite weapon, the classic Super Shotgun. And I've also added my own artistic liberties. Also I love Crash's big demon stomping boots. I still can't believe I did the armor dings and textures by hand blah x_x

I also decided to put some effort into a sort of background. I was going to add more objects and lighted things but honestly, I just kinda got tired of it after a while, but honestly this is better than I've done before. I figure if I keep doing a bit more backgrounds in my pictures, I'll get better at backgrounds.
