Game Art: Kent Sheely's documentation of "DoD" (2011-2012)

Most Game Art focuses on the product, rather then the process. There are, however, a few exceptions. The always stimulating Kent Sheely provides a terrific documentation of one his most interesting projects, Day of Defeat. As you may remember, in October 2011, Sheeley updated his seminal series "DOD: A WWII Photo Essay" (2009). A photojournalism project inside a World War II themed game. As in the case of Marco Cadioli's ARENAE, the main source of inspiration is Robert Capa, "whose most famous photos of the D-Day invasion were blurred due to a lab technician accidentally destroying most of his “good” shots from the event.", wrote Sheely. It's all very meta.
