So we decided to be creative with pumpkins this year...

So pleased with how this turned out

That is take cool. How did you cut so close to create the shadow on the body? It’s hard to see where it’s even connected to the rest of the pumpkin. That is impressive.

 

[SpiderWars]

That's awesome! I couldn't do that with tracing paper!

Fake, but cool looking.

I can assure you it isn't fake. It took me a lot of patience, an exacto knife, and toothpicks. The shading was done by leaving the skin on. None of the cuts went through the entire way. I did the carving first, then took the top off and cleaned it out. I used a scraper pretty aggressively on the inside where the carving is so the candles would shine through where I carved it. My wife is an art major, and LOVES Halloween...

Cool man.
Didn't look fake to me.
I'm going to do one too where you don't cut all the way through.
Opens up a lot of doors as far as design.
Thanks for sharing and love me some 2112!

 

[stratjacket]

Ahhh, that’s really cool. I did not think about “not” cutting all the way through the pumpkin, haha. Not sure why I never thought of that, learn something new every day...

Drinking early today?

Fact: The pumpkin carving was digitally created. i.e. Fake.
Fact: "...but cool looking" implies a complement.

So he doubles down.
“Fake” would be a photoshopped or phony pic, of which it is not.
Like Maleman said, dick move.

Cool pumpkin, man!

At the end of the day, I had a great time with my wife and kids carving pumpkins, and took on the challenge to create something cool that I then share with cool people with similar interests. All good.

My one buddy does these style carvings. He’s a member here but rarely posts.
His wife is also an artist. She designed posters for horror movies. See if I can get him post some pics

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

I’d like to attempt this. Was wondering if a dremel set would help?

If you don't mind, please post a close-up of this cavring with the lights on. I'm getting negative feedback, in regards to my calling this a digitally created image. If I'm wrong, I will comsume an entire box of Cap'n Crunch in one sitting. Seriously though... if it's legit, I apologize.

You may be right... I may have to retire my attendance on RT.
