Ok, I understand.... so no searching for outside stencils or patterns from books or on the internet. Just can use them as ideas to create our own pattern (unless it is a tracing of something from Sylestia). Thanks for the answer Krin!

Ferriki Scull
(Or what a male ferrikki would look like with a scull trait?)
Here is my traditional pumpkin carving, it is a design that is a the flip male version of my digital female. I thought a scull might get less inquiries from people on halloween XD
It turned out better than I expected considering I couldn't find my best pumpkin tools.
1. Digital design and pumpkin

2.Pierced and started carving, I like piercing though it is an art.

3. More carving done

4. finished carving, now to test lighting

5. and it looks terrific! sorry this last one you can't see my name tag (it is there just to dark to see)

can we provide a link to the pictures if we can't get the picture to work?

Without further ado, here's my pepper face~


First, here's my tools~




Second, the pumpkin pepper has had it's insides carved out~




Third, it's finished!




Bonus, here's what it looks like lit up~

As always, I had a lot of fun doing this~

Howling Moon
This is the first time I've carved a pumpkin alone. It's not the best, but I tried.
Time Taken: About 6 1/2 hours for both the drawing and the pumpkin. (3pm to about 9:30pm, roughly)
Just a pumpkin

Starting up (hand-drawn pic of a male Lupora pup howling at the full moon. Made in honor of the revamp.)

Partly carved

Finished carving (unlit, bright room)

Lit up
You can't see it because it's almost pitch-black, but my nametag's there.

Heres my pumpkin!

Here is my entry: A bat flying in front of the full moon.

Got to do some pumpkin carving with friends last night, so decided to do mine as my entry :D I made a (really terible) ryo lol. Curves are hard with butcher knifes :(




Sketched the face out. Freehanded everythin so it couldve been better lol


Starting to do the cutting. was hard to figure out how to manage the extra lines with the big knives without cutting things out the wrong way >.< i couldnt really do much in terms o just partial carving with what i had unfortunately :(


Finished pumpkin


After cleaning it off


And lit up (no candles allwoed in the dorms lol)

(And here is a bonus picture of all of my friends' pumpkins lined up lol. My personal fave is the one next to min on the left that looks liek it is in horrible amounts of pain xD)
