Requiescat in pace He helped to create what we know today as the definition of first person shooters. Show your respect boys, show respect.
[QUOTE=zips]in addition to creating the Doom box art, also did cover work and illustrations for [b]Playboy[/b],[/QUOTE] :pervert:
That guy was fucking hardcore to come up with that, RIP
The boxart for Doom is pretty awesome.
Aw. I wonder if he actually played any games, ever.
It always reminded me more of a classical art piece, rather than a video game cover. Something about the poses and the style.

It's sad because these (Doom series) were one of the few box arts I actually liked.
I always loved the box art for doom, even though I never played it much.
Oh damnit. :c I've always really loved doom, still play zdoom and shit today. This is sad.
That picture has inspired many people. He won't be forgotten.
R.i.p.

holy fuck he died the day of my birthday!
Helluva guy to be able to do all that and still want to teach others.
God damn, so many news today. I expected them all to be good news. :frown:
God what the fuck I have that poster on my wall RIP :(
I liked how the lone marine, with 2 smgs, fought against a horde of demons. I would say, it looks pretty fucking cool. I got an idea. I want to make them with legos. Damn, that would be awesome!
Rest in peace. You helped define video gaming, you deserve a rest
He'll be killing cyberdemons in heaven :crying:
