These skins are based on certain factions, concepts, and armors from my Doom creative writing project, "Day of Wrath."
The first skin is based on the Night Sentinels and their scifi Templar aesthetic, and is supposed to be Doomguy's armor as a Sentinel knight prior to receiving the Praetor Suit. The Doomblade is based on the Sentinel swords from Doom 2016, and the helmet was inspired by this art of a Black Templar Emperor's Champion by Joshua James Shaw:

The second skin is an all-original concept by yours truly :)
It's inspired by Mick Gordon's grungy and industrial style of metal music, frequently dubbed "Argent metal." On the right forearm, we featured the Mayones Regius 8 electric guitar he used to compose the Doom soundtrack, along with a chainsaw as a cheeky reference to him sampling a chainsaw's audio for the track "Hellwalker." And on the left forearm, we featured the original Soviet Polivoks synthesizer he dug up to give the soundtrack its gritty ominous synth tones. Those glowing red circles on the armor are supposed to be speakers for the heavy metal music, with a simple visualizer/equalizer effect.
And since Mick is Australian, I thought a punky 90s post-apocalyptic Mad Max look would suit this skin well, something like what a wasteland raider would wear (this aesthetic is called "scrappunk" or "apunkalyptic"). Hence the edgy 90s Quake 3 being used both for the color scheme and its logo as a muzzle for the skull, similar to Mad Max. We even featured the Quake 3 gauntlet on the right arm, though incorporating the mini-chainsaw rather than the traditional gauntlet's buzzsaw.
And since Fallout has a similar post-apunkalyptic look, we featured the Fallout 4 shishkebab as the Doomblade.
And the third skin is actually based on early Marauder concept art from Doom Eternal by Emerson Tung (though in this context, it has no relation to the Marauder):

This Deathpyre Armor is built from Necronium, a sinister ore that embodies the nihilistic force known as Void, and is nigh indestructible to all manner of physical and magical attacks. Besides its unparalleled protection, the Deathpyre Armor's Necronium is also used to suppress and direct the violently destructive energies it unleashes from its bearer.
The idea for this suit is that it's supposed to be a sort of infernal "Dark Lord" armor for the Slayer, hence the crowned helmet, demonic halo, Hellfire aura, and notable inspiration from the Legion of the Damned.
