Hello, I'm Purple Trees. Welcome to my digital home. It turns out I'm a gamer, who knew?
I play mostly Minecraft (Bedrock), ARK: Survival Evolved, and a few other games like Monkey Island. And also take silly photos.
My nephews think I'm cool, and that's good enough for me :)
A group of friends who play Minecraft Bedrock together.
We met playing on other servers, and decided to start our own. Invite only, so please don't ask. Hosted in bonnie Scotland, and maintained by my lovely fella, JT (he's the one in the kilt).
We're a mix of content creators and regular players. You can find links to everyone in my Discord (link below).
Proud to be part of this Bedrock content creator only server.
Monthly stream days are a great way to catch up with everyone on Twitch.
Why not join the Ludic Discord to find out more and meet everyone?
I may be late to the party, but I am really loving ARK.
I'm currently recording a solo play through on my second YouTube channel with it being a PEGI16 game. And also playing with a couple of friends on a PVE server.
New video notifications and screenshots, etc can be found in my Discord.
From Pong to Call of Duty, Myst, Horizon Zero Dawn, Banished, Manic Miner, and Assassins Creed to XCom. I have quite a varied taste in games.
Some will be streamed in my Discord or on Twitch. Some will be videos. Some will just be played for fun.
Oh, and community games like Bedrock Bingo are in my Discord too.
Who doesn't love LEGO?
I've designed custom printed LEGO pieces and love using them in photos. The world is such a grey place these days, so I try to raise a smile by taking fun and silly photos using LEGO and other toys.
It's that simple.
Here are some examples of a few of my favourite builds, screenshots, photos and things...
We built a shop together, then formed the Bedrock Collective SMP together.
Go on then, there's room for a wafer thin mint.
Got to love the cinematic images!
For Halloween I built a replica of the actual church at Sleepy Hollow.
Church interior, complete with sermon.
My fully landscaped and custom built bay and mountain base with crannog.
Fan art illustration I did of DB8035.
Three builds I did for the BC Festive area.
Character from "The Lion, The Witch and the... Frozen Fingers".
A target game I made based on the classic, Space Invaders.
Crash landing at Area 51 & 1/2.
My first PVE base, and I really quite like it.
Starter base on the Ludic SMP, Season 2.
There may have been a few surprise builds appear on the BC SMP...
The little Pueblo style village.
If she fits, she sits.
Lucky cat totem and chocolate bunnies are much nicer than cooked rabbit.
Will work for bricks.
I'm English, but live in Scotland with JT and our cat, Billie. I've been self-employed as a graphic designer for about 15 years, so obviously, I take for ever to do my own work and I'm always broke! But thanks to our nephews' love of gaming, I now play Minecraft, ARK and other games with them. I think the creative possibilities in these games is what keeps my interest. And here's some more waffle in case you're interested...
I started playing games on a Grandstand 3600 mkIII... I am that old! But the best times for me were playing CoD4 and Monkey Island with my Dad and brother. Now, it's with my nephews.
I love photography and art. Whether it's taking pics of scenery and wildlife, or silly macro photos of LEGO. Just never ask for me to be in front of the camera, I'm so much happier behind it.
I try to be family friendly and stay away from more controversial topics in my socials. Not always completely successful, but hey ho, I do my best. Links to these are all below if you want to have a natter.
I made my own wardrobe of Minecraft skins and working on my emotes as well, and now I do most of the stream day skins for those on Ludic too! Always love the challenge of the themes.
We have our little cat, but also support local wildlife by feeding hedgehogs and other birds and beasties. We also try to be as eco-friendly as possible. Recycling, solar panels and when it comes to tech, even my headphones are made from bamboo and reclaimed plastics.
Whether traditional with paints, ink and pencil, or digital with a tablet and computer, I've been creating illustrations and graphic design for a living since I was 16... and no, it wasn't all black and white back then!
I've finally started a shop! Wanted to for years but never got around to it. So you'll find gaming related things and other designs and images there. Artwork will always be updated and changing, so do keep checking back (how's that for marketing?). Shop link below.
I never expect anything, and I never ask for anything. But if you want to help support me, my content, LEGO habit and and our little server, any contributions are very welcome. Links to Ko-fi and Linktree below. Thank you <3
