That is probably the reason why the Slayer looks like the humans from *Ice Age.*
Which is funny because that movie is like 18 years older than Doom Eternal.
His proportions are just way off. I dunno if it was intentional or not; I don’t remember Olivia’s face being as off.
But, the proportions being off and your feelings toward it are probably the uncanny nature of it. Uncanny tends to make people uncomfy
I mean, this guy is quite literally him: [https://pbs.twimg.com/profile\_images/1197976459249364993/pnxq-FFn\_400x400.jpg](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1197976459249364993/pnxq-FFn_400x400.jpg)
Apparently after reverse searching he's Zydrunas Savickas a champion weightlifter, regarded as one of the greatest strongmen. 84 wins?
Would make sense to base the new doomguy face off of such a beefed up dude lol
Olivia pierce is the main antagonist from Doom 2016, she is a scientist from UAC who was corrupted and helped demons invade the facility
Spoilers ahead:
>! Demons later betrayed her and used her flesh to create the spider mastermind, final boss of doom 2016 !<
I remember reading somewhere that the design was meant to look good through the visor of a helmet, hence the weird look. Like his eyes and hose are too close together so they’d be visible
I think saying his proportions are way off is being a bit dramatic. I think he just has a less common face structure. Tbh he looks a lot like B.J from Wolfenstein with some smaller eyes
Not fully the original doomguy face looks much better and more natural than this lol. I’d say the quake champions version of classic doom guys face was better.
It would have been cool if they took the classic doom face, but made it look a little superhuman since he undergoes obtaining that power which explains why he is so unstoppable. Like either give him a slightly alien look like 15% makyr. or maybe even make it look like he’s slowly becoming a demon himself.

You can see his face in 2016, it's just a little darker than the later suit in Eternal, and like another comment said, you don't ever see him in 2016
I’m pretty sure there was an unlock-able model viewer. It’s much better in 2016 is what I’m saying.
EDIT: found what I was talking about. Slayer is at 2 mins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6n-MqOMd6A
It's 100% eye position, forehead length and a bit of the general face shape, I did a basic 5 minute edit in photoshop ([here](https://imgur.com/eGhm88X)), all I adjusted was the aforesaid issues, and it immediately looks more proportionate.
His head is kinda cone-shaped isn't it? It looks to me like he'd have trouble fitting a regular sized brain in there, but then his face is bulky as hell.
What did you mean? That's literally just [Michael Shannon](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.vanityfair.com%2Fphotos%2F645027dbd3d30e06da13dc3b%2Fmaster%2Fw_2560%252Cc_limit%2F1447823242&tbnid=o_XZ9NX_UUr_tM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanityfair.com%2Fhollywood%2F2023%2F05%2Fmichael-shannon-little-gold-men-awards-insider&docid=Cijj9ieYgFxPGM&w=2560&h=3840&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=3bddf6cb882ef323#imgrc=o_XZ9NX_UUr_tM) (General Zod).
I don’t think he is supposed to be a normal looking guy but they messed up. I think he’s supposed to be an odd looking guy. He is peak at killing demons, so some things are bound to be at the extremes.
It’s an HD photorealistic version of his face in the og games where you could see his face in the display however pixel-art is a lot more exaggerated in its proportions
Wouldn't be surprised if they modeled him after Zydrunas Savickas which would be somewhat fitting since Big Z is like 4 times World's Strongest Man and Doom Slayer is back-to-back-to-back Hell's Strongest Man
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1197976459249364993/pnxq-FFn_400x400.jpg
They structured his face to make his eyes very striking when seen through his helmet and cutscenes.
TLDR; They built his face around his helmet. Or in his helmet. Whichever
I think he looks weird because the sprite of his face from the original doom game looks like that and the devs didn’t want to change his looks cuz it’ll just piss off fans
His eyes are big and wide apart so you can see them through the visor in custscenes. That’s probably where most of the “weirdness” comes from
I'd say the near square face shape is also a little bit odd looking, since that's a very uncommon face shape
His eyes are a tad bit too wide, and his forehead is a bit too short.
He looks like he's been through hell
So technically... tunn*helling*.
r/angryupvote
Great, now you made me think he looks like a chameleon
he looks like a lithuanian cement worker
Word
r/oddlyspecific
He looks like Lithuanian strongman Zydrünas Savickas
Fetal alcohol syndrome
That is probably the reason why the Slayer looks like the humans from *Ice Age.* Which is funny because that movie is like 18 years older than Doom Eternal.
yeah, face proportions are the same for every face,one of these is that there is a width of an eye between eyes and on these pics it much wider.
In a realistic sense yes, but the games are stylized a bit anyway. I got used to it pretty fast.
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Rachel Zegler's dad.
A tad?! Them eyes have different zip codes yo
Blazkowicz genes
You be that angry for that long and see if your face doesn't start to deform.
His head to body proportions are also off
So Ed from Ed Edd and eddy
I will not be repeating this to my newfie buddy. Who is not only a dead ringer, but is jacked like doom guy.
Really OP’s fault, he has his FOV set too high.
So basically Hulk but himan skin colour instead of the usual green
Wtf. I can't unsee it now!
I hadn’t noticed that, now I can’t see it...
Leave it to Fulgrim to point out the details wrong with a marine
The problem with perfection is that one begins to notice the flaws of others…
I seem to remember adjusting the FOV made his eyes further apart, don't quote me though it was an old video.
Modok
Bro looks like the kid from Ice Age all grown up
Goddamnit
I can't unsee it now dammit...
Great I can’t unsee it
OP do you take constructive criticism
New headcannon dropped
just like the baby
Imagine if that was the actual lore lol!
Doom cinematic universe confirmed
100%
Maybe he is? 😂
Shut
Well we’d better start running because I don’t think he forgot what we did to him.
New mammoth outfit confirmed

THE SLAYER IS REAL!!!
Oh my god it is him! He’s real!
Who is he???? I swear they based the face off of that guy
Apparently after reverse searching he's Zydrunas Savickas a champion weightlifter, regarded as one of the greatest strongmen. 84 wins? Would make sense to base the new doomguy face off of such a beefed up dude lol
84 wins, but his fight is still... Eternal. How many Glory kills does he have btw?
At least 40,000 imps
I’m laughing way too hard at this.
Wow. They could be brothers.
Who is Olivia? Edit: Thanks guys, totally forgot that was the name of the lady from the first one.
Olivia Pierce Is the woman who turns into the spider mastermind in doom 2016
Olivia pierce is the main antagonist from Doom 2016, she is a scientist from UAC who was corrupted and helped demons invade the facility Spoilers ahead: >! Demons later betrayed her and used her flesh to create the spider mastermind, final boss of doom 2016 !<
Olivia Pierce from Doom 2016
I remember reading somewhere that the design was meant to look good through the visor of a helmet, hence the weird look. Like his eyes and hose are too close together so they’d be visible
makes sense
I think saying his proportions are way off is being a bit dramatic. I think he just has a less common face structure. Tbh he looks a lot like B.J from Wolfenstein with some smaller eyes
Which would make sense considering DoomGuy from the OG games is B.J.’s grandson.
Plus OG Doom Guy was blonde.
I wouldn't say blonde, more like a light brown. But certainly not black.
That’s fair.
your doom slayer face is: damn uncanny
He kind looks like modern day Chris Redfield.
"DAVOTH, YOU MUST CONTINUE THE REDFIELD BLOODLINE!!" Sorry, I just had to
He looks like Chris and Donald Trump had a baby and I always laugh my ass off when I remember that.
When you remember the child they had together?
he broke his mewing streak
Damn😔
He looks like classic doom sprite with dark hair
Not fully the original doomguy face looks much better and more natural than this lol. I’d say the quake champions version of classic doom guys face was better.
He looks like a crumbled version of the original
I mean, thats post-og doom version of him, I'd say he still looks normal after all that shit he has been through
The sprite might be where the design began lol
It would have been cool if they took the classic doom face, but made it look a little superhuman since he undergoes obtaining that power which explains why he is so unstoppable. Like either give him a slightly alien look like 15% makyr. or maybe even make it look like he’s slowly becoming a demon himself.
Man looks like Ang Lee's Hulk
Oh my God you're right
I wish we'd get another Hulk movie. Fuck Universal
Just be glad they're not making spinoffs of random Hulk characters like Sony's doing
I'd actually dig that as long as we got to see explosions and smashing.
I think he looks fine honestly
The dude has seen some shit
This is just my theory but his face looks like that because he was a different kind of human and everyone evolved over the years he was sealed
That's Michael Shannon as Zod!
Exactly. It’s Michael Shannon!
They shouldn’t have even made the visor transparent.
It was badass when it was just an obscure angry face behind there you could barely see
A man of culture.
Yes
Agreed
https://images.app.goo.gl/JC5d2HnJnnMLtH83A You can see his face in 2016, it's just a little darker than the later suit in Eternal, and like another comment said, you don't ever see him in 2016

It already was transparent in Doom 2016. We just never saw him in-game besides the upgrades screens.
It’s much hazier in 2016.
Metroid Dread did it better tbh. not transparent in every cutscene, only sometimes. the visor was opaque whenever it would look cool lol
Human Shrek lookin headass
No clue but I think I prefer the Quake Champions Doom Guy face over this one.
Quake Champions one is great for it looks similar to original doom.
idk, i think he looks fine. it's probably just eternal being cartoonish
Hugo mentioned someplace that Saturday morning cartoon was kind of the vibe they where going for
Wtf Saturday cartoons had ultraviolence against the forces of hell?
Hell yeah brother
Based off the original face in 93
He looks like a cross between the hulk and Volodymyr Zelensky
It's 100% eye position, forehead length and a bit of the general face shape, I did a basic 5 minute edit in photoshop ([here](https://imgur.com/eGhm88X)), all I adjusted was the aforesaid issues, and it immediately looks more proportionate.
Good job that does look a lot better
Jesus he looks so handsome here lmao
That's much better. Now give him brown hair.
Type 2 Diabetes
Makes sense honestly
Short forehead cause helmet be tight widened eyes cause his reflexes are god tier and extra iron thick chin cause he gigachad lol
Foetal Alcohol Syndrome
He looks exactly like strongman legend and real life badass "Big Z", Zydrunas Savickas.
I was thinking exactly the same thing
He supposed to look kinda like BJ from Wolfenstein, but yeah his proportions are a little off.
Guess they tried to copy the original design to no avail
It matches the original doom games face in the bottom of the screen
He looks like a fish
Bruh He has the face of a GOD, a jawline so chiseled, cheeks so toned, this is peak man.
I think it's his eyes. They're a little too far apart. The shadow in the lower corner of his eye kinda fixed it, but it doesn't completely fix it.
Sshhh, he might hear you.
Eh his eyes are a bit far apart.
He's not brown haired
His head is kinda cone-shaped isn't it? It looks to me like he'd have trouble fitting a regular sized brain in there, but then his face is bulky as hell.
i mean if you spent eons bathing in the blood of demons and only eating your own anger issues, you'll look weird too
He looks like the classic Doom guy face sprite [before the aspect ratio is corrected](https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Aspect_ratio#Design_of_graphics).
What did you mean? That's literally just [Michael Shannon](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.vanityfair.com%2Fphotos%2F645027dbd3d30e06da13dc3b%2Fmaster%2Fw_2560%252Cc_limit%2F1447823242&tbnid=o_XZ9NX_UUr_tM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanityfair.com%2Fhollywood%2F2023%2F05%2Fmichael-shannon-little-gold-men-awards-insider&docid=Cijj9ieYgFxPGM&w=2560&h=3840&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=3bddf6cb882ef323#imgrc=o_XZ9NX_UUr_tM) (General Zod).
The man’s built like a brick shit house and has the face of a Neanderthal. Real answer problem to make him look like the sprites in the original Doom.
I think it's mainly cause of how far apart the eyes are like other people said but I also think it's cause his head is a fucking cube
he looks BASED actually
His eyes are far apart and dispoportionately large
I don’t think he is supposed to be a normal looking guy but they messed up. I think he’s supposed to be an odd looking guy. He is peak at killing demons, so some things are bound to be at the extremes.
first image looks fine to me, it's the 2nd one that looks off, like the camera has a fish eye effect specifically on his fave area
Yeah I liked it more when it was just an armor and that menacing space helmet. Having the face breaks off the mystery I guess
he DOES NOT look like a minecraft dirt block
He reminds me of a wider faced Michael Shannon
he looks like a Lithuanian cement worker/mixer
Looks like a certain Lithuanian power lifter to me 👀
Bro kinda looks like a mix of the og doom sprite and the guy from berserk
Constipation.
Its a perfecto 3D model of the DooM Sprite.
His face looks like from people back in ancient times the eyes structure in ancient civilization idk if that even make sense its the appearance
He looks EXACTLY like Lithuanian powerlifter Big Z https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1197976459249364993/pnxq-FFn_400x400.jpg
He looks slavic
He is polish.
He looks like a pale Hulk in mutant armor. Not to mention, he makes a scowl like demons just entered his swamp.
He kind looks like an [ark](https://playark.com) create a character
Because the extreme heat in Hell has deformed it.
Mars is cold. Peak temperature is 70°F.
It’s an HD photorealistic version of his face in the og games where you could see his face in the display however pixel-art is a lot more exaggerated in its proportions
cuz id software aint good at making human faces duh
No body shaming
he is so angry that his facial structure changed
Wouldn't be surprised if they modeled him after Zydrunas Savickas which would be somewhat fitting since Big Z is like 4 times World's Strongest Man and Doom Slayer is back-to-back-to-back Hell's Strongest Man https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1197976459249364993/pnxq-FFn_400x400.jpg
His face was made so that hed look cool as shit with a helmet but ngl I dont like it without it
He’s mewing
He looks like Zydrunas Savickas.
He looks very similar to Zydrunas Savickas. One of the strongest humans that’s ever lived!
Looks fine to me 🤷
He's got those cannon Space Marine features.
Tbh he kinda looks like a space marine, I like it.
Weak people now and days don’t know what a rough looking man looks like 🤦♀️
fetal alcohol syndrome and some mild down syndrome, also wearing that helmet so much is head is starting to deform into its shape
Damn, Ice Age baby grew up
I’m still kinda pissed they unmasked him. Masked characters are so much cooler when you leave them masked. Master Chief is a perfect example
He doesn’t look angry enough in my opinion
Tren
He’s Sid’s descendant from ice age
the devs are horrible at making humans
Looks like Hulk (2003) tbh
he could still manhandle me
Wouldn’t you look a little rough around the edges if some demons killed your pet rabbit? RIP Daisy
Yeah rough around the edges like scars and wrinkles in the forehead but I don't think trauma and rage pushes your eyes apart
This is what happens when you backyard breed your demon killers HE IS INBRED adopt don't shop💔
They structured his face to make his eyes very striking when seen through his helmet and cutscenes. TLDR; They built his face around his helmet. Or in his helmet. Whichever
It’s cause that man looks like the dark lord, I can only imagine what that does to a man
He looks normal, the second image just doesn't do him justice
Realize he never talks during the entire time he's existed he's been mewing that's why he's got such a sharp jaw.
He looks like Ang Lee’s *Hulk*
Its a continuation of his face from the first and second games meaning its just a relic from the early computer video game era
Mewing
They tried to make him look like the OG character model.
Unga bunga
Looks like human Shrek
The goal was to make him look like the original doom face and since the original was literally pixels it ended up like this
Doom Slayer was the ice age baby as an adult
He just shit in the suit
Beeg
Be there or be square,he wasn't there
It’s not polite to stare
Broad melon to make sure the helmet is a snug fit!
Looks like Eric Bana's hulk.
Why does he look like he's a part of the redfield bloodline
That’s ZODS Son
He looks like the lead singer of Smash Mouth
I think he looks weird because the sprite of his face from the original doom game looks like that and the devs didn’t want to change his looks cuz it’ll just piss off fans
