In Doom, an artist has recreated the demon “Revenant” out of wood. The special thing: he used a chainsaw as a tool!
Today, the shooter Doom is released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. To celebrate this release, Bethesda has teamed up with Australian chainsaw artist Rob Bast to bring the most iconic demon of the series to life.
Bast “carved” the Revenant out of wood. This demon is known to players from the original Doom as a nasty, skeleton-like enemy that always drew attention with a shrill scream. For this, the artist likely used the favorite tool of every Doom fan: the chainsaw. You can watch the work process and the final result in the following video from Bethesda:
It took nearly 150 hours to complete the approximately 2.4-meter tall sculpture. According to Bethesda, it was made entirely from recycled, sustainable cypress wood. If you want to see this masterpiece in person, you just need to take a flight to Melbourne: there, the Revenant will be exhibited from today at the “Australian Centre for the Moving Image” (ACMI).
