An interesting article about the artwork in Braid

Ah sadly I dont have that video anymore

But the trick with that art style is to use a low opacity brush and keep going over areas. You start by making the shape of the ground using a black opaque brush, then (since I used photoshop) you lock the transparency, and then you make a bright brush with an opacity of like 10, and you pretty much scribble... I'll record a new video for you, one sec

Haha I accidentally got the settings wrong and recorded at a framerate higher than the playback...in other works, its playing back in slow motion...I'm about twice as fast as that normally! But anyways, its probably good it recorded it slow motion because you can see what i'm actually doing

In about 10 minutes after this post that will have the video, its about 20 mbs

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem. I didn't feel anything wrong about the speed of the video. It's as clear as your other tutorials.

Now I'll have to practice

What a fun Photoshop video

Awesome article and awesome vid, thanks! You really should put it up on youtube, tho.

Isn't that artwork from an old thread? This is the closest I could find:

But I'm sure there's another thread from around that time that has the artwork David used in his level editor. In fact, when I saw the Braid screenshot I first thought that it was something someone made from David's artwork.

Anywho ... here's the vid he posted on the above linked thread.
