Don Ivan Punchatz was a prolific painter, he had made many covers, he probably assumed Doom would be yet another cover like so many others.
His son, Gregor Punchatz, made the poseable and latex-clad steel models, cool to see a very talented father and son both contribute something essential and iconic to a legendary game like that.

Pic related was the guy Don was teaching at the time, he and his muscled body served as the body model for Doomguy on the front cover, he's now a talented painter in his own right.

Romero was nowhere near that buff.

The guy who modeled for Doomguy on the cover is pic related, he was studying under Punchatz and did body building in his free time. These days he's a pretty skilled painter, as you can see.
