Meh, this was a bitey one. It was insanely hard to do, so keep that in mind. It took a lot of planning, and yet it didn't turn out how I wanted it to. But I'll let you judge.

Oh, and I'll post a lit up version later, when it gets dark.

As promised, a night view, to (maybe) make my pumpkin look better. Sorry about the shakiness, it's quite cold in New Jersey (for once this year).

GAH!

Hooray for Salad Fingers.
I like how I did the shading around his eyes. Okay, it's not so much shading as it is skining. It also doesn't resemble the egg shape of his head, i'm not so proud of that...

Hey thanks man! Its not a NG character, its Pinhead from the movie Hellraiser. It took about 4 hours to do.

To carve the pumpkin it was multi stage:
1. Prep pumpkin normally. Try to leave as much rind as possible, more surface to carve into.

*NOTE THAT EVERY FOLLOWING STEP MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE.*

2. Peel off top layer of skin. For all the following steps I used a Dremol with different bits. I used a metal cone shaped bit for the peeling.
3. Draw the image you want to carve.
4. Start carving.

Helpful tips:
- There is alot of depth to the rind usually. To test depth, get a paperclip. You'll see how deep you can go by poking through and looking at the other side.
- After you have cut the rind down by half size that section won't support much weight so try not to make it a load bearing (rar) part.
- The detail is in the tools. The smaller the knife, the better the carve.
- Don't be afraid to carve from the inside to bring out more light in certain areas, like eyes.
- A light bulb inside the pumpkin and a dark workplace are ideal for finishing touches.

i dont really see how its related to NG. unless its supposed to be a Dad thing. still pretty cool though.

also, that must have taken like 3 black markers to color it all in

no, a used a sharpie paint pen. and i didn't color the whole thing.. just the fron so that at night it would stand out more. I couldn't get a goos picture of it at night though..........
