Isometric Screenshots

Interesting project here. This project by artist Jon Haddock recreates important historical moments (and a few bits of movie magic) as isometric 2-D images like you’d see in older computer games. He does extensive research to ‘re-create’ the scenes. Interesting. Gallery here. Tutorial on creating one of the images here.

Anyway, it’s a good way to do this. Check it out.
