These days... I can barely go 5 minutes without thinking about StarCraft 2. Whether it's staying up late with the wife to watch GSL, or getting off work and jumping on the PC the moment I get home... I can absolutely say this game has invaded my life in just about every aspect.
I haven't carved a pumpkin in 15 years. Maybe longer. But this year I wanted to carve one with miniWHEAT and when the wife came home with two pumpkins I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I'm a huge fan of Zerg. For life.
So here is my gift to all the Zerg's this Halloween!
<3 Zerg!
UPDATE: Here is miniWHEAT's pumpkin, Swiper from Nick Jr.
|
Holy crap that is all kinds of awesome!
More like <3 DJWheat
|
|
hah awesome! Now make one for terran and one for protoss
|
hey wheat, don't forget QL bro :>
<3
|
wow! Nice work, they should have a contest for best starcraft pumpkin design ha ha.
|
Very nice. Zerg Supremacy all the way.
|
|
OMG! that's one badass pumpkin
|
This is pretty sweet! You said there were 2 pumpkins however, I'm curious to see what the other one looks like (SC2 related or not!)
|
I'll try to make one too! Lol, itll be a fail though.
|
Haha nice! Very well made
|
SO much win!!! Gj wheat!! :D
|
Awesome stuff, DjWheat. You are an invaluable asset to the Starcraft community. Can't wait for your shows this week.
|
You say you haven't carved a pumpkin in over 15 years, however that is one of the best carving jobs I've ever seen. Awesome job xD
|
should put some purplish celofain inside around the candle! ... don't know if that would even work though lol seem as the pumpkin is orange any way.
|
Can i marry you? Fuck that's sexy..
|
hahha well done! very impressive

While it's no lagmaster, this is pretty fucking good.
|
|
wow thats amazing!! don't let those hoodlums blow it up!
|
|
|
Great job Wheat :D you should make each of one
|
Really nice job
|
|
We have SC pumpkins and cake. It's only a matter of time before we have a fully SC2 themed thanksgiving dinner =)
Great job dj and miniwheat!
|
|
|
|
|
WOW WHEAT THAT IS.... just AWESOME. I was thinking about doing this! What a masterpiece, Send me more High-Def pictures I need to get this on my Facebook! <3
|
|
|
holy crap this looks amazing. well done!
|
Nice, I just might have to carve a sc2 pumpkin myself.
|
|
|
|
well played (carved) good sir, well played indeed.
|
Thanks guys. I didn't realize it was going to be as much work was it was. It took us about 3 hours to do 2 pumpkins. I'll post a picture of the one miniWHEAT did tomorrow.
For those who have asked:
All I did was take the zerg icon from the logo pack, threw it in Photoshop and just made it black with a white background. Then I used the PUMPKIN TOOLS (which are awesome) to dot the outline and carved it very carefully.
Next year I'm gonna try to do something a bit more awesome.
Oh and you can't see this (I'll take a picture during the day), but the Pumpkin I used had all this CRAP all over it, and I was like, "Oh look, I'll put the Zerg logo on the creep"
|
Off-topic but I burst out laughing at "miniWheat."
And great pumpkin, obviously.
|
DJ wheat, when you have more than one kid are you going to call them "wheaties"?
|
Wow, I might do a terran one myself.
|
Great pumpkin Wheat. Good work!
|
When I saw your twitter feed saying you were carving a pumpking I was like hmmmm, knowing wheat this one HAS to be about SC2, was throwing ideas in my mind but I should have known it'd be the zerg emblem
|
|
Now your neighborhood won't even have to scout you to know your race.
|
Dude.... was that Freelanced? Did you just like, look at a pumpkin and say, LET THERE BE ART!
|
For the Overmind!
Though really whats impressive, is that shape isn't easy to carve at all.
Also even more impressive is that you have a wife that stays up to watch GSL with you.
|
You, sir, win Halloween. I might just have to go out and get a pumpkin to do something awesome like this.

I love you SO MUCH, djWHEAT!
But I sliced my hand open while carving pumpkins this year. I can barely type this, much less play Starcraft!
|
Nice pumpkin ^^. Good job!
|
LEGIT! nice job lol Zerg all the way!

Very good detail, the lighting is just right
my pumpkin i just carved a couple hours ago. i think it fits the season very well.

|
i thought it was very cool =)
you should cheek the battle.net as they have a pumpkin contest...
but very cool indeed!
|
|
Yes. Seeing that in the dark would surprise many a SC player.

And probably the scariest thing on Halloween.

This thread has just inspired me to get a pumpkin and carve it. Now to get my art friend to draw on the pumpkin for me (I can't draw to save my life).
|
Zerg fighting!
I'm looking forward to your future casts with Sean!
|
That's so cool! I couldn't figure out a SC costume, but a similar endeavor may make up for that!
|
Most awesome pumpkin ever made. DJWheat you sir are a hero
|
wow thats really well done, nice job man!
|
Every SC player, carve out a SC pumpkin and leave your character + code engraved on the back.

Haha omg. Quite the carving there. And wheat... that pumpkin is fucking awesome.
|
Haha, very nice wheat I can never do those sharp turns like that, but then again I was always trying to get it done as soon as possible haha. For the swarm!
|
can you say win? I'm gonna go make a protoss one in my mind lol. Nicely done ^^
|
Here's my crappy rendition of it. It was my very first pumpkin carving, it was pretty fun to do. :D
|
Badass pumpkin WHEAT! I am sure it was a fun thing to do. Keep rocking man, big fan of yours!
|
nice lol I'm going to do mine soon maybe tomorrow, sc related ofc. If it turns out half decent I'll upload it too!
|
|
nice job wheat, thats actually amazing man.
|
|
Freaking sweet. Now do one of an Ultra!
|
|
So, so baller. My hat's off to you Wheat.
|
That's awesome. I would get so excited if I saw that on someone's porch that I would have to trick or treat the shit out of that house.
|
I would pay you to sell that to me!
|
Really nicely done, i can never do something like that

In a couple of years, kids will dress like Zerg units and go marauding for candy
|
For the Swarm!!
And eat and/or carve your veggies!!

Nice job! Looks wonderful =)
Make sure to send it to Blizzard as fanart, it SO will be published =)

Hey GJ, Wheat. But too much can be harmfull (even if its sc2) Wonder what You will do when miniWheat starts playing Terran
Ps. Imagine being bunker rushed by Your own son, scary!

Do pumpkins count as fruit? 'Cause that'd explain a lot.
Epicness all around!

Scientifically pumpkins are fruits, same as tomatoes and cucumbers. From a culinary standpoint they are known as vegetables.
The answer is yes, pumpkins are fruit (AND vegetables).

Awesome The zerg life is the only life for me.
|
Zergies go! Nice pumpkin!
|
The Tassadar pumpkin is awesome.

Awesome pumpkins. Makes me want to go buy one to carve up into a baneling :O

lol, wheat is a hero, seriously we want more djwheat.. all you guys are also awsome for making Starcraft pumpkins!
|
You know what Dj Wheat, you're a pumpkin. :D :D:D
|
Awesome, if I were to carve a pumpkin it would look like ray charles and stevie wonder came together and had a best of 3 carving competition...
p.s miniwheat looks like he has some artistic talent
|
Damn. You people are good at this.... i couldn't even begin to do one.
|
I can barely carve out basic shapes... besides pumpkin soup is damn tasty.
|
wow the marine pumpkin was awesome.
|
|
That's really rather cool. I've never carved a pumpkin before but now I really want to try.
|
My friend made this:
SC1 needs loving too :D
|
|
wow, well done you guys! The kerrigan one is so badass
|
Nice work all of you. Love the pumpkins. I just made a generic face... heh.
|
I'm going to make a Protoss one tonight ^^

That or a note saying, "Your base was just destroyed by mutalisks."
Go zerg!

|
Can we have an official pumpkin carving thread pretty please?
|
Being a programmer I have about as much artistical talent as nothing. I have 3 waiting to be carved so does anyone know of a terran, protoss and zerg stencil I could use? If I do it by hand it might look like 3 pornstars by the time I'm done knowing my skill level with a pencil >
Btw the OPs and image above are so much win!!!!
|
Cant get over how ill this is !
|
|
We need a Protoss one :D but that is freakin awesome!
|
Wow. I love it! Jergu Jergu for life.
|
Here's my Halloween SC2 tribute  Lighting is a bit off since it's a tiny pumpkin and I didn't think about how the silhouette would look with a candle beforehand
|
:O
Awesome! The Terran one looks pretty hard to do.
|
Mine is just carved from memory so the proportions are way off but oh well, i think it turned out pretty well ^^
|
Hi, nice pumpkins. Serious though those sweet.

|
First of all - wOw cool you can watch GSL with your wife - my girlfriend doesn't like SC2/SciFi things very much...
... your Zerg pumpkin is very nich oO. Greate work - I like to have one, too but I'm not good in carving ;(

|
give us a picture of miniWHEAT
|
That looks awesome! I've always wanted to learn how to carve pumpkins like that, but I've never had the patience to sit down and learn.
Great job everyone!
|
I carved four logos onto one pumpkin :D
Some parts detached, but overall, not too bad looking

|
All of these pumpkins are great awesome job guys!
|
|
|
Wow Wheat, that's sick good!
|
|
DJWheat, I greatly admire your pumpkin. I saw the link on twitter and drooled. If I had any pumpkin carving skills I would have attempted something similar.
|
Soo... now that halloween is done, did anyone make a baneling pumpkin and explode it?
I loved the pumpkins in this thread!
|
that's awesome :D i'll probably do one of the protoss symbol next year now :D
