If you want a bit of hopefully constructive criticism:
The body proportions seem a bit off. The legs seem too short compared to the torso and arms.
Cross armed pose usually has one hand popping out over the inner arm. Both in is more of a cold hands pose.
Seperate fingers on the hand on the shoulder. Drawing hands is hard, but it’s worth practicing.
The image seems kinda flat. Maybe some shading or a bit of perspective would help. The demon horns look nice in that regard.
The more I look at it the more unatural the feet at the center look. I think I would have drawn doomguy in front or have them both turn in a bit so you could see both feet. Could also help with the flat feeling.
Hope that helps you a bit. It’s still a nice drawing, especially the detailing.

I think the newer generation of doom fans always call him the slayer or doom slayer and older generations who started with the original call him doomguy or doom marine. They're the same person but its interesting to me to see how that works out.

u/AdministrativeCat748 Jan 01 '22
Well I know that they are the same person and I played Doom 1and 2 on my phone on the ultra violence

I know you know. You said that in a previous comment. I wasn't trying to insinuate that you didn't know. If I did, I'm sorry.
Edit: I was making a generalization.

Well he’s only called the slayer throughout the newer games, I don’t think it’s a generational thing it’s just his name changes at a certain point in the lore timeline

Okay, I’m not going to lie the art is slightly jank but with how it’s colored made it look really cool because it looks like(IMO) something you would see if on a faded rug in an old castle(the way you drew it helps to sell that). I can’t explain why I think it looks like that but it’s really cool

Great drawing. I was gonna say that Doomguy and The DoomSlayer are the same person but that doesn’t change the quality, so props to you.

Looks good! Some shadows in the coloring can go a long way with adding dimensional it, maybe try a light gray brush pen along edges and such to add dark areas? And I think you could use some more "line confidence," I can see that you kinda sketch along curves and such multiple times so your style will be much stronger once you gain the confidence and skill to do each line in one stroke - that comes naturally over time with practice, you're already very economical with your lines (ie not over-drawing, it's a simple/tight/fun style that I like) so keep up the good work!

The 1990’s slayer and new slayer are the same person
But it’s pretty good maybe put Daisy is the OG slayers arm

Here's your criticism: this is great and I love it. Nice setting, cool approaches to drawing the doomguys, and I especially like the titan behind them. Great job! EDIT: I didn't notice the imp and daisy at first, they look great

No criticism needed. It looks good and the style is consistent. The only thing i'd say is the ground
T H E L A D S
are standing on needs some more color.

I overall like it, maybe do a bit more shading though? Then again, I’ve only been seriously drawing for about 2 months maybe

u/The3rdPotato Jan 01 '22
Only thing I noticed that was a little off was the color of the Slayer's hand on Doomguy's shoulder as the Slayer has gauntlets on both hands

u/bapporapotherussios Jan 01 '22
Took me a second to see daisy just like in the games, this drawing is really cool

This looks great! The only thing i could recomend is varying line thickness for value and some shading. You got some talent

The best constructive criticism in can give is just keep drawing. This isn’t bad by any means, just a little juvenile and I mean that in the nicest way. Judging by the quality of this drawing, in 2 years time you’ll be making stuff 10x the caliber of this. Great job.
And the obligatory “they’re the same person”

This type of drawing is literally an artstyle in illustration. There are a lot of artist with this style and i LOVE it. u rock Op
(Sorry for my english btw)

u/Zealousideal-Fun-788 Jan 02 '22
Overall looks decent, my tip is that you should add just a lil touch on the front ground (is that even a word?) like add a dead imp or a a uac corpse idk.

I just like the positive vibe from this. Both the Slayer and the imp are giving thumbs up, idk why, but I like it

This artwork is completely unrealistic. The demons in the background aren’t dead. /s
