Title: Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns


Zeo_Zakeruga75 - October 29, 2007 03:32 AM (GMT)
Mostly everyone does a certain activity in honor of Halloween. No, it's not trick-or-treating, it's carving pumpkins! I love carving pumpkins, and love to see what other people's pumpkins look like. This year, mine is very extravagant. (I started on Thursday and finished today. O o;;) Since one of my heroes is Jack. O Lantern the Pumpkin Prankster, I decided to do a pumpkin based on my favorite show, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Sadly, this pumpkin doesn't have Jack himself in it, but next year's will. ^ ^

This topic is for everyone to share their pumpkin photos. I really want to see everyone's pumpkins. =D

Here's my pictures...

Here is the pumpkin from a distance. The camera is a cheesy dollar store digital camera, so sorry for the image quality. The pumpkin in the background is one that I did for my nephew.

Here is the show's logo, done in Sharpie. After glancing at the "The Grim Adventures of" text, I decided that was WAY too hard to carve.

Here is Grim. He's the most "cut out" character on the pumpkin, since he's mainly just black and white with little red. His jaw keeps coming off. O o;;

Here is Billy. Amazingly, I like him the best on my pumpkin. He came out much better than expected.

Mandy. She looks a little weird. The flower was really retarded when I tried carving it, so it looks like someone stabbed a pencil in my pumpkin. O o;;

On the back, I put a huge profile of Grim's face. When the pumpkin is outside, you can see a sillouette of it behind the pumpkin. This was the easiest to carve. :)

Alright, I really want to see everyone else's pumpkins. I don't care if they were made from a kit, I LOVE Jack-o-lanterns. ^ ^

I love carving pumpkins.

I just haven't gotten one, and if I ask to get one my Mum will complain even more.

But I was planning to carve Tsubasa and Matsumo ^^;;
Just for the fun of it, since those are my most faved Pokèmon evers<3333333
-thinks she should try to make a ROM hack of the OZ....-

But, my brother was gonna carve his kitty. Her name is Tiger Lilly, but he doesn't have a pumpkin either:/

You should send pictures if you get your pumpkins, DR. I'd like to see them if your mom lets you carve them. But then again, Halloween is on Wednesday. o o;;

Thank you to everyone. You should see my hands though, I have a few scratches on them. Owwee.

I did layering on the pumpkin, mainly Billy's nose/pants and Mandy's hair/dress. A suggestion to all of you, when carving difficult pumpkins, do layering. You can either use a U-Gouge (used for sculpting) or just by peeling off the skin with a knife. But that's how my fingertips are all scratched. O o;;

quite truthfully, I probably would have chopped off a whole finger or three
+ yay they didn't get infected? or did they? o.o
