Let's do Doom pt:11 - Spider Mastermindby ~Mechanubis

Designs & Interfaces / Game Development Art / Game Concepts & Illustrations / Characters, Animals & Monsters

Like the Cacodaemon, I decided to deviate a lot from the sourcematerial for a number of reason. First and foremost, I wanted to create a significant gap between the Mastermind and the Arachnotron. Second of all, I wanted to give this guy a lot more imposing appearance, thus making it more like a Centaur. Then I replaced the minigun (which in this case, would have been located in this guys crotch) with mounted dual pulserifles! Because if there is anything more awesome than miniguncock or rocketlaunchertits, it's dual wieding pulserifles! I'll work on the butt some more when I'll start working on the model itself. Now it looks way too normal. Need to make it look hellish and sick.

The head looks like the alien from the 4th movie, the one that is similar to a human...No words great job!

I can see the resemblance. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated

This is fuckin' awesome. Superior design. I really love the skull look.

However given the brainy look of the both the original Mastermind and Arachnotron, and the brainy look of your Arachnotron, I think it might have been a little more appropriate from a literal perspective if you tried to give this guy's head a slightly more brainy look. I see that the cranium is really large which kind of covers it, but maybe if you opened up the top half of the back of the head in that machine area and gave it an exposed brain look it would fit the name slightly better.

That's just me nitpicking. Regardless this is really cool.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I guess it could have been cool. Tried a rather similar approach the that one cenobyte bloke with the torn up throad held open by hooks. But a lot of the things that I tried simply didn't look good or made very little sense to me. Not that "sense" plays a big part in my designs, but I wasn't happy with my previous ideas.

Again, thanks mate

Oh man, that's hella beautiful! Quite the epic re-imagining of the Spidermastermind!

~Mechanubis May 5, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks ^-^

This is definitely a step in the right direction for redesigning an iconic sort of boss from a popular series in need of a bit of a revamp. I do agree with the duel plasma guns, if anything, the scariest version of the Arachnotrons were in Doom 64 and they had the duel plasma too.

~Mechanubis Mar 29, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks. I missed Doom 64 altogether, unfortunately. But the arachnotrons were pretty cool in it

You really should get your hands on it, they had a good idea on how to re-imagine the enemies we all knew and loved from the original series and make them truly frightening. Your designs are quite brilliant in both regards of modernizing the series and keeping it terrifying.

The enemies were quite decent. Aside from the Mancubus. It looked like a giant cow-hippo :'D
