make the gun longer like streach it and i think the zombie is not wearing the same armour as the doomguy but i could be wrong and for a wip it's not bad
Looking good... the armour looks fine to me. Just make sure you fix that block-head! But this one seems much more faithful to the original compared to the current.
Yeah, I have no real reason to say that it won't ever be done, because I really don't know. I just love the sprites. I don't understand the people that would want to replace those beautiful sprites (especially with the stuff that's currently available. Ick.)

How about the current model I am working on? do you think it is faithful to the original? if not? how could I make it more faithful
Many of us would be biased on model quality for that exact reason - over-zealous fans who thrive on the authenticity, stuck in nostalgia. Psycychons Garg' is very amazing, and Kuri's zombieguy here does to me seem genuine and true to the original.
Marine armour, green buzzcut hair-do and blood at the mouth... its a Doom zombie!
I like the idea of the model actually holding a pistol too.
The main thing that stands out to me is the squashed appearance of the mesh, he looks a little bit like a midget or is out of proportion somehow.
Apart from that, I think it's great. The only other thing I could criticise (since you asked) is just the lack of finer-details in the skin, perhaps it looks a little cartoony-like to my eye (no doubt you're aware of that though). Regardless, I think it's much better than the existing model already
Let's see what Psych thinks.
EDIT: I think your third screenshot with the posed eyebrows and mouth is a really cool firing animation. And, I know it's not like the original, but it makes sense to me that he has a pistol instead of a rifle. Just putting that out there (I know the rifle will probably stick).
the mesh is squashed because in doom it will get stretched and look more normal, but i did just notice that the head is not fat enough, so I will fix it now. If I add to many details I fear it will move too far away from the sprite, and also the head is not going to have a huge resolution image to be used.

Really? That's... odd. Is that to do with FOV at all, or is it just a quirk with the engine?

Original DOOM did not use a square pixel aspect. Consequently, in order to keep things at the same scale we need to adjust absolutely everything, models, sprites, maps...

Aha! Is this why, in original DOS Doom 320x200, I remember seeing on the automap a perfectly rectangular room but on a 45 degree slant relatively speaking, and it was a little "distorted" in the pixel alignment? That always puzzled me, I suppose it is related. That's interesting trivia right there.
I don't think its a problem with the feet, to my eye there appears to be a proportion issue; his head looks somewhat larger than it should be (or than I remember it being in the earlier wip pics). Most likely once the head is scaled down the feet won't look so small

The model is very good and the skin is off to a great start! Those could turn into some mighty fine animations....
They're more comical than anything else.
Sprites for the win.
I can see no reason why a talented animator can't get good results with a well rigged model under Doomsday. Look at Psychikon's Gargoyle for example.
Certainly, not everyone likes models in DOOM and may prefer not to use them but that is their choice.

tweaked his face to hopefully look more like the sprite and gave him bloody hands
What you guys think?
tell me how you think I could make it closer to the zombie

yeah the rifle will stay haha
Very good =D> Nothing else stands out to me. But we're yet to see the animations of course
he is in-game^^
Looking good though, come to think of it I think it is the head. The body looks alright. Where's his neck?
Very original though. Nicely done so far
