It's here again! Sorry I haven't been very active, I've been busy with work so I've been spending most of my random days off carving. But it's been a good year so far. 7 pumpkins done, and a solid plan for actually getting a big theme done Halloween weekend. I meant to do some post Halloween carving last year but I burned myself out with the Majora's Mask. No watermelons this year either, I didn't force myself to make the time for any. I'll have to next year, I have some plans, and unfinished eeveelutions.

The awesome Ghost Pirate pumpkin from last years VIPs. I'd completely forgotten about this pattern until I opened up my pattern box and found it sitting on top. It's like I purposefully left it there so I would see it, go last year me!

They made a pumpkin pokemon and so it was inevitable that I carved it. Pumpkaboo is the best pokemon ever, seriously. Also Phantump, because the two work well as a pair.

Image
This one was for a contest that I lost. I kind of phoned this one in with the simple design but I like it anyway. The pattern base is from Subeta, the site the contest was on and where I am embarrassed to be seen :)

So my friend who made the Spook, Rand al'Thor, and Kvothe pumpkins of previous years and I spent half the year wondering what the heck we were going to do this year and then suddenly I realized it needed to be Animorphs. This thing is a beast that took way too long but it looked amazing. It is worth seeing the full size for alternate angles: http://johwee.deviantart.com/art/The-Es ... -489988982" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another haunted house, cause I like carving them. Pattern is from some random carving kit that I can't identify. It made a good warmup for my next pumpkin.

Image
I also spent way too long trying to decide on a MLP:FiM design, before I was like duh, Flutterbat. I like all the cool dynamic poses I can get with ponies, I don't seem to have many for pokemon.

I like the Animals on the cube. The bears teeth must have been hard.

nosferatu said it well. Your pumpkin carvings have a style and subject matter unique to you. Always fun to see. Pokemon and My Little Pony might not seem too Halloween, but they sure can be when you choose to carve their pumpkin or bat variants! I'm also happy to see the Ghost Pirate appear. Glad he found you this year.
