Artist's commentary
Heart of Lothar gijinka
This artwork was commissioned by me and drawn by the talented Substance20: Twitter, Pixiv
I have permission to distribute this work.
This drawing depicts a gijinka (anime girl humanization) of the Heart of Lothar, an original weapon concept from my Doom rewrite fanfic "Day of Wrath."
Originating from a single screenshot in the earliest Doom alpha (with an unknown appearance or function) the Heart of Lothar has been contextualized in "Day of Wrath" as a demonic superweapon comparable to Doom 3's Soul Cube or Artifact (also called the Bloodstone or Heart of Hell).
Appearing as a beating demonic heart floating within 3 concentric spinning spiked rings, the Heart feeds on the souls of slain opponents to power up a devastating spectral projectile (which heals the user for damage done).
The Heart is found beating atop a stone column, a reference to a prop in classic Doom and Doom 2016.
"Day of Wrath" is primarily posted on SpaceBattles.
