ICONS OF DOOM

Todo fan de la serie DooM debería tener como pequeño fetiche de adoración esta increíble escultura animada realizada por el artista Jason Hite que representa ni más ni menos que el nivel final de DooM II. La escultura está realizada con algunos elementos bastante baratos, algunos cachivaches encontrados en chatarrerías, circuitos varios, etc. Si tienes la suerte de vivir cerca de Santa Monica, más concretamente cerca de Copro National Gallery podrás verla en vivo y en directo, e incluso comprarla. Su precio ronda los 6.000 dólares.

Over the years, I have collected circuit boards from computers and odd devices. The panel on the right of the demon’s head was sitting in a cardboard box in the back of my YMCA getting rained on, before I «liberated» it. The guns are from the Quake action figures by ReSaurus Toys that came out back in 1998. At least they are accosted with Doom. I would have loved to make a BFG, and still might do so, but I ran out of time. I’m actually kind of surprised that no one has made one by now. The Doom Guy figure and zombie behind the Cyberdemon are slightly augmented from HorrorClix figures…and the dozen bullets are dummy .30 ammo that is epoxied them tightly into the piece.
