First Place:

Aleanah
The scales werent showing up too well, so I used a flashlight on it. The halogen lighting mixed with the orange-yellow and made it appear green, which was fitting.

Figured the following would make for a decent halloween image and I can vouch for the fact some of the others spent 6+ hours on theres as this went well beyond that. Either way, I hope you like it.

In case you're wondering...

Tools: Dry erase markers, Sharpe, Exacto set (broke one blade), walgreens pumpkin carving kit, and a light so I could see hollow I was getting the pumpkin as I carved it.

Time taken: 10hrs roughly

THE MESS (not even a 3rd of it lol)

Second Place:

Well My pumpkins not as elaborate as everyone elses but when asked what mosnter I should make the pumpkin look like my oldest (who is 4) asked me to make it look like the Ghost armor (a suit of sentient armor) I Never thought about making a stencil and following it so I hand drew it on the pumpkin and then cut it out.. I knew the face wouldnt work so I made it closed like my Crested Helm graphic... Hope you like them...

This is the best pumpkin I have ever produced. Thirsty work for a cleric.

Unfortunately none of the pictures I took could show how cool this one ended up looking when illuminated in the dark. Started out with one of my favorite eq characters....mushroom guy.

This was an amazingly fun project! First I went to undershore and took a SS, which i printed out. Then I traced the most detailed parts of the Shadowmane, which resulted in my stencil. Using a thumbtack, I imprinted the outlines onto my pumpkin =) Then I carved it using the small, detail blade from a standard pumpkin carving kit, luckily i had one stashed away, the store was all out of kits! and the finished product is here - Thanks Sony!!:
