I have to say that I'm not impressed at all and this is the biggest waste of time that I've ever seen and whoever you are, you don't have enough to do and you had better think of a career change. Unless of course you are <10 yrs old then I would consider you a prodigy and reevaluate my opinion.
Happy Halloween, I do admire your spirit and sense of fun.

who the fuck u talkin to?

Good news is : I managed to get a pumpkin about a week ago
Kind of bad news is : I wanted to do a halloween one for once (sorry starcraft pumpkins addicts ... you can still enjoy rek'in'apple

)

So here is my last beast :

Well, I hope you did'nt mean that, but if you *still* need a proof then juste have a look at the last rek'in'appel photo :

See the book under it ? I'm sure you can find the same one on the last photo...

Anyway, here is a photo of the pumpkin unlighted :

I'am not happy with the ligthening, the candle isn't strong enough and details can not be seen

I'll try to get better ones this evening!

Well, you've got stars, a cat, a tree, a house and the *thing* on the upper right part of it is suppose to be smoke from the house :o (didn't get time to really do something about it..)
So I suppose it's just a random landscape ?

Wow impressive Jellycat, You've won by far... it must've taken ages to carve in that detail. You should consider pursuing career in the design field.
How long did it take?

Around here, you can easily purchase the professionally-made pumpkins. If anybody wanted to invest 10 bucks into winning this contest, they could.

Anyways, nice carvings jelly :D

How come when someone do something that is *not too bad*, it can never be true or self made? -.-
So many things can be done so easily self made... especially art :/

I am sorry guys I didn't take any photo of the process (and even though, it could have been the professional carver doing it and me taking photos, couldn't it?). I still have the design paper though.

To answer 1tym, basically it's my first carving pumpkin even if I am *quite* familiar with all sort of things involving *art* (well it's my second carving stuff as I've done rek'in'apple

).
- Took me about 20-25min to do the design (paper) of it (@ a london starbuck's waiting for my gf)
- About 35-40 min to clean the pumpkin - I wasn't sure how far you must go into it and I now think I should have scrape it more, it's still too thick :/
- About 1h to apply the design paper and "poke" it
- About 5-5h30 to carve it - and I've realised looking at the photos that I've forgotten some details i.e hole under the cat to separate the legs and some things at the bottom of the tree on the right side
It took me some time cause : I am working full time, could'nt do it in one shot and I don't have any proper tool :/ (I used a short knife, a screwdriver and a match :O)

All-in all it's a 7-8h job

I had great fun - but my fridge smell now -.-

Shit happens, I've screwed some of the details :
- there was a lantern near the door, I destroyed it : /
- some stars don't exist anymore :o

Questions?

OMG, JellyCat, that Pumpkin is really impressive, you are a great artist !!!.

As for the contest, I'g go with your apple because as Saro stated in the first post:

Subject matter? Anything goes, but be warned that we'll be heavily biased towards Starcraft, Progaming, or Teamliquid themed entries.

lol i thought of that, there are peolpe at supermarkets who will carve pumpkins for really cheap, i thought about it but its just gay and not really worth it since the money prize isnt THAT much. i hope everyone sent legit entries tho :<

Thats like being accused of hax. You're supposed to take it with a grain of salt. Or even think of it as a compliment. Then u call the other guy a noob.
