A legendary, rage-fueled, revenge-seeking demon-slayer that wields an infamous oversized great sword and wears a unique suit of armor. They carry a large variety of different weapons, with one even built into the left forearm of their suit, and have never fallen to or failed to defeat any demon in combat.

A color version of my illustration of the Doom Slayer, from the Doom franchise, and Guts, from the Berserk franchise. I tried to reference some of the earlier artwork from each property, and the demons are loosely based on the demons from the respective stories.
