I'm posting these pictures in sections in case Photobucket crashes my browser or computer (as it is prone to doing when it gets 2 and 3 video ads going at the same time). If the images don't show up full size, you can click them to get to them in my Photobucket album where you can click the magnifying glass which should make it full size. I will put my digital carving at the end. ^_^

1. My apple to serve as my apple-jack. ^w~


2. Hollowing out the apple for proper lantern carving. :3 I had to move to the table when I realized how juicy the apple was. Lol, I used a steak knife and a teaspoon to hollow and carve. :D


3. I was going to post a picture with the lines cut, but that was not exactly ...showing up, especially with my webcam quality...

4. The pieces cut out and lit up! ^D^ (nonlit pictures to follow these lit ones) One from the front, right (its), and left (its) because I wrapped around some with my carving. ^_^;

That's the flashlight I used to light it up behind it in that last picture.

5. Approximately the same angles, but unlit. ^_^ These unlit ones make it easier to see that the bright full moon behind the tree and the Faelora's petals are cut all the way through the apple walls. :D

Teehee, my fake squashes in the background in that bottom one. x3


My digital entry is below.



Illuminating Encounter

Sorry if it isn't very original, lol. Super excited about this. In case you don't understand it, it's a Smashing Pumpkins reference.

Here are my entries~

Real Life Carving
Once again, I find myself without a pumpkin to carve. Once again, I turn to the loyal apple to be my victim, I mean, canvas. Yeah, canvas.....
Anyway, I lack any real carving tools. Just your run of the mill steak knife.



So, you know how in school, they always have those posters in the classrooms and libraries with apples that have a worm coming out of them, both with a big smile on their faces? Well, how do you think the apple really feels? Like with my carving, the apple would be pretty freaked out, having its insides being eaten by that cheeky little worm. I would still imagine the worm being pretty pleased with itself, though. XD


Digital Carving
Here I decided to do a digital carving of one of my favourite electric Pokemon, Shinx(Luxray is my absolute favourite). I used an image for reference, but drew everything by hand(although I did use some tools to do the ovals). This was all done in MS Paint using a mouse. It was a lot of fun~



Thanks again for hosting the awesome pumpkin carving game, Fai~

Non-realistic digital entry! Supposed to be a flying snake.

Yet again I forget to take process pictures of my real pumpkin carving, so I did a digital version of what I carved for Halloween this year.

Not...my best work. But I think it's as far as I'm getting on this thing.

Sorry I accidentally cut off the top

Never got to play with a real pumpkin, too busy this year, but here's a digital version of some weirdness:

Wish I had time to do a real pumpkin but... xp

Description, because my head canon is weird:

The headless horseman is clearly upset that he doesn't have a nifty dress like the Bone Reaper. Honestly, who wouldn't be? So here's to making the Headless Horseman's dream come true~ <3
(I ran out of space on the pumpkin. :( I sorta want to cry. )
