Hi all! I decided to get inspired by the pumpkin contest thread, so this is what I came up with - any other contestants? :D

Thanks! I was going for the full profile, but quickly realized it wasn't happening as soon as I finished the hat and face, so it was necessary to compress it down a little to the bare essentials. And I thought a crescent moon would add a nice finishing touch - I'd love to see more interpretations :)

Amazing job! Although I bet you everyone who sees and (and is not in the know) will think you've carved Indiana Jones. haha

-Cub. =o)

LMAO... I never thought of that... That is Sooo True too...

Okay, here is mine... The picture is a little blurry for some reason, but I think it came out rather well... I'm no where close to an Artist, so all in all I think it came out pretty good...

The Pumpkin without the Candle Light, using the flash of the camera looks like junk for some reason, unlike Rock's Pumpkin which looks good either way... Looking at just the Carving in regular light, you'd never think it was a carving like that... Since it looked so bad, I didn't take a regular Pic, just the Candle Lit one...

In the first Pic you couldn't even tell it was a Pumpkin... Background Lighting sometimes does wonders... lol

Whow, Neato! Don't be so modest - I'm really impressed - you got the whole body too! The details must have been really tricky - great job!

Wow, great work guys, they look really awesome. Stick up a note on them that says "Play Tex Murphy" or a link to this website and maybe a few Trick or Treaters will be converted. 8)

Thank You... Thank You All...
While carving it sure didn't look like it was coming out that good...

hmmm... Unfortunately it's too long of a name to put on a pumpkin...

We'd have to use something like one of these...

I did a picture of my daughter like that a couple of years ago and a picture of my dad as well. I did pennywise from the "It" dvd cover a couple of weeks ago....the cold air already turned it inwards...lol...
