Original Doom was a lot like oldschool B-movie making.
It's fitting because a big inspiration of theirs was the Evil Dead movies.

>hexagon steel tiles are actually a pair of snakeskin boots
>chainsaw belonged to Tom Hall's GF at the time
>pistol is a squirt gun modeled after an M9 pistol, spraypainted black
>some figures (Doomguy, Zombies, Baron, Cyber) were made as clay sculpts on poseable artist dolls, effectively claymation, this looked fairly good, but those dolls aren't very good at posing, and the clay kept breaking, requiring repairs and fixes, so this was time consuming and inefficient
>thus a specialist, Gregor Punchatz, was hired to make painted latex figures with poseable steel skeletons (Revenant, Spidermind, Mancubus, Arch-Vile, and a few unused ones), making for far more reliable and consistent models (his father, Don Ivan Punchatz, was hired to paint the cover art)
>the Pinkie Demon was painted over a Jurassic Park dinosaur toy, using the legs as reference
>Kevin Cloud's hairy arms wasn't just Doomguy's arms, but they were also used as a wall texture
>he also scrubbed his knee on his way to work one morning, they scanned that in and used it as a texture too
>the toy raygun which was used to make the BFG9000 (turned sideways and mirrored), was covered in details and greebling, these details were used heavily to make a lot of the tech textures
>random computer parts (circuitboards and stuff) which they had lying around were occasionally scanned and made into textures
A lot of sprites and textures were also illustrated by hand (either pencil on paper, or drawn digitally), and a lot was cut and pasted together, or recycled and 'kitbashed'. Some came from resource libraries too.
