Makes me glad my parents taught me to be good!

All these years when I did something wrong, they punished me.

When I broke the law, my dad spanked me.
He was the harshest!

When I stole, my mom spanked me right in the store when I was a kid!
I even almost burned a house down playing with matches.
She tortured me for that one.

Seeing these pictures of evil makes me honour both my parents now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never appreciated them so much as when I saw those pictures.
God, Jesus Christ, is number one!hehe
Jesus Christ!hehe
Bless Jesus Christ!
Then please bless my mom.
Honour to my mom Huong Thi Vu
Honour to my dad Thuy Binh Nguyen
Love to cousin Carl Anh Cuong Cao Vu
Thank you Jesus Christ.

Great find. It made sense to use clay models back then, given the amount of work needed to build a not-so-good-looking 3D model for sprite renders. Always wondered if the Doom art is in a museum or a private collection somewhere. must be worth something

I had the same curiosity about the clay models when I saw the pics. Prior to seeing that gallery, I had never given any thought into how the modelling was done. It's too bad they don't do this still - they could easily turn the clay models into toys haha

Ha. totally. I bet a few rich nerds would spend quite a fortune to get their hands on some genuine Doom memorabilia, be it concept art or Romero's coffee coaster
