Pumpkintoid: My (lack of) carving skills on display, for your pleasure.
ShadeWithin \| 7:20 PM on 10.19.2008	20 comments

With Halloween right around the corner, my buddies and I decided to do the only thing natural for college students at exam time:

Carve pumpkins.

When the time came for inspiration it didn’t take me too long to figure out what I wanted to do. Used the graphic from the black and white tee for the pattern and just went from there, it took me several hours, mostly because I’m a terrible artist. I’d encourage someone to do a better rendition, maybe actually cut some parts out to let the light through (I’m not skilled or patient enough, right now it just glows).

Just wanted to do my favorite blog proud, and display work that I’m personally proud of, despite its mediocrity. Keep bringing the good news (and the flamebait, Jim ;-D ) Dtoid.

I don't even think it would be possible to do this carving all the way through the pumpkin.

This is as good as it gets.

Nice. Like Falinter said, if you go a little deeper then clean out the inside it should light up decently.

about me

Shane, I play video games. Learned how to read playing video games, my imagination developed alongside video games. RPGs are my absolute favorite, the thoughtful, innovative kind... or just the kind with a fuckload of characters... Suikoden anyone? Guitar Hero 2 and 3 are my newest shit, just started training for Dragonforce on Expert. I write in sporadic dialects, so forgive the thug/southern/educated fluctuations, that's just how I roll. Also if you couldn't tell, I enjoy anime, namely Naruto atm. If my laptop could handle WoW it would probably be sucking away my life right now, fortunately I can only play Diablo II, so the life-leeching is restricted.

Top 10 Games that I can think of right now, in no particular order:
1) Suikoden II
2) FF V, VI, X, XII, Tactics
3) Champions: Return to Arms
4) Baldur's Gate II (PC)
5) Valkyrie Profile
6) Ogre Battle
7) Chrono Trigger
8) Kingdom Hearts I
9) Guitar Hero II, III
10) Symphony of the Night
