This artwork depicts a scene from my Doom rewrite fanfic "Day of Wrath."
The Doom Slayer has a stand-off with a strange cosmic entity known as the Witness, based on the eponymous villain from Destiny 2.
This scene actually has a lot of meta significance, as it's meant to contrast not just Doom and Destiny, two very different yet similar videogames in that they both serve as foundations for FPS design in their time, but also for overall retro vs modern game design in general. Aka the emphasis on story vs gameplay, monetization practices, and the exploitative nature of the live-service model that Destiny unfortunately helped popularize in the present. Though curiously, one that has precedent in the trend of multiplayer-only retro FPS games such as Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 itself.
The delusions of the past clash with the callousness of the future.
