See The Original Sketch And Model That Inspired Doom's Doomguy

Doom's 21st anniversary occurred on Wednesday, and in honor of the occasion, Doom programmer John Romero has been tweeting out images from the game's development – including original sketches of the Doomguy.

You can find just a few or Romero's tweets below which detail how Doomguy's design came about. Surprisingly, Romero still has the sketch and the clay model intact.

Adrian Carmack drew the sketch of DOOMGUY, modeled him in clay, and pixel-edited/animated the character. All phases. Truly a Master.

Though we know very little, the next Doom is on the way. While waiting for that game to release, you can head here for 10 old-school shooters that will fill the Doom vacuum.
