one more shot before the finale


a couple buddies hanging out, avoiding their coin collecting duties, and playin' ... Monster Hunter

[zombombie]

So cool! You're knocking out the pairs Mark! Love it

[Raven]

Excellent carves as always! I love the coins in the background!

[Ajax]

Couldn't find a giant green pipe? Love them they look great. The coins are a neat touch. What is the finale???

[monstermash]

Both pairs are very cute. I love your shadow of Boo, I spotted it straight away. I feel like digging out the Super Nintendo and having a game now.

[ghostface]

Great work!

When you said this I was looking so hard for Mario's boo shadow in the Mario luigi pic until I clicked into
You were talking about monsters inc boo in the other pic.

Your pictures are as awesome as your carves! Love the Family of Minions!

[amandap80]

Great looking pair!

[mesmark]

Thanks, everyone! It's been fun.

The last two pumpkin (Mario and Luigi) I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to come up with a photo spot. I hadn't decided on patterns, but when I saw that Ryan had made a new Mario pattern as well, I jumped on this duo. I would have loved to do more with them in a game like scene, but time is not on my side, and I'm happy with how it turned out.

Don't get too excited. The finale will be a few pirate pumpkin set up in me pirate world.
I have no idea if I'll have time to set up something good, or whether I'll even be able to. But, I'm going to try!

[Pumpken]

These are amazing carvings and photo setups. I can't wait to see what you do with the pirate carves. Great job.

[mesmark]

OK, this might be it for the year.

Pirate Galleon



PVZ Pirate Zombie


Ghost Pirate


Pirates of the Caribbean


All together now:



I think I should have worked harder on the PVZ picture, but I didn't realize I only took a couple shots. I also had a hard time with the lighting. It was either too bright or too dark. There was no in between. But, these were taken after we set up. It was late, but I'm happy to have these.

[Raven]

Those are so AWESOME! The carvings, props and pictures are so perfect! You have blown everyone else out of the water with this set!

[monstermash]

Tremendous finale! I can't fault anything. Every time I take a picture there is either too much or not enough light but yours all look fine to me. The PvZ Pirate Zombie kin is just staring up at the burning sun on a desolate island having been tossed overboard for drinking all the rum.

Its funny that you should carve Ghost Pirate on such a long kin as I've singled out my longest for the exact same pattern. The minute I saw his beard and hat I knew that was the kin for him. You've had some good sizes this year by the looks of it. That Jolly Roger kin looks huge.

[Ajax]

Well worth the wait. Really nice settings. I love the long kin you have for ghost pirate. The shots all look great almost like they were taken aboard an old pirate ship. Great work this year if that's it and if its not can"t wait to see more.

You can drop the mic now and tell us we just got served.
