Mr. Forrest

Force of Negation, painted for Magic: the Gathering. It depicts a female mage, chilling in a bubble of blue magic. Around her, a firestorm of red magic. Digital.

The High Priestess for my game, Pale Tides. It depicts a black woman, hands clasped in a relaxed pose. Owls fly around her, obscuring her face. Pencils and charcoal on paper.

Marcus the Worm. An ode to a great Sargent painting, ruined by my stupidity. Oils on board.

A city painted for Daggerheart. It depicts a city, painted for Daggerheart. Two sneaky guys on the left of the composition, a big old moon in the distance. Digital.

Hello! I'm Paul, a Scottish artist, art director & game designer best known for my work on Magic: the Gathering and on my own game, Pale Tides.

Where I'm at, a burrito costs the same as about 4 chicken breasts.

Are you hyped for the next update?

Sorry not too much activity from me since I’ve been CONSUMED by Pokémon Lazarus!

Genuinely the best ROMHack I ever played, I can’t get enough of it

Video game ads in the 90's were something else...

"2026" is a pretty futuristic-sounding year. 2027 is not. I can't explain this. The next big one is 2031. 2049 is gonna be huge.

Have you ever tried to eat a clock?

I heard it's very time consuming.

One of my favourite watercolour paintings. I copied this from a Terry Harrison Watercolour teaching book when I was teaching myself to paint. #art #watercolours #painting

A fake screenshot of Threads of Time, in a SNES style, displayed on a TV, with a hand holding out a SNES controller in front of the TV. The screenshot features heroes Rye and Luna facing off against a T-Rex in a jungle area, reminiscent of the games first official trailer.

What if Threads of Time for the SNES

More highlights from 2025. The old forefinger came in handy a few times this year, usually as a scale. Micro botany on the beach at Sinah Common, Hayling Island, Hampshire with Little-Robin Geranium purpureum ssp. forsteri and Sand Cat's-tail Phleum arenarium. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving

NBC's broadcast of the Macy's parade has superimposed the word "FOREIGNER" over the balloon of Mario.

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

Free Turkey via Wall.

It's so beautiful... I can't wait to play Monster Hunter on this thing
