COVER ART: Doom (1993)


Cover for the definitive first person shooter, Doom, by Don Ivan Punchatz. Punchatz's son, Gregor, contributed to the game as a model designer for creatures such as the Arch-Vile and the Spider Mastermind. Obviously, this isn't a sword-and-sorcery game, but Punchatz's art evokes works by artists like Frazetta with its pyramidal structure depicting the desperate hero on a rise fending off hordes of enemies. Replace the guns with swords or axes and you'd have a pretty good cover for a hard-hitting fantasy novel.
