I'm back! Thank you for all of the comments on last year's thread, I kinda disappeared halfway through the month so I didn't reply but you guys are all wonderful for checking out my nerdy pumpkins every year! 
And while disappearing I forgot to post the end of last year's pumpkin carving! Since Halloween was on a Friday last year it got kind of intense the two weekends surrounding it, and I think I had a post carving crash or something. So before I get to this year's carvings I shall post all of those!
At some point I was inspired to do a trio of video game pumpkins, starting with the Lorule Crest from A Link Between Worlds. I remember there being a lot of hassle with this one: stuff falling off, rotting in the back, dropping it, etc. I still made it look good though.
Then I did Luigi's Death Stare from Mario Kart 8, because it is hilarious. Not my pattern, still makes me laugh a year later.
And then I carved my weirdest pokemon pumpkin yet, a Helix Fossil in honor of Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Then came the Portal theme, which I had originally planned to do in 2013 but never got around to after I burned myself out on Majora's Mask.
Portal Dude #1
And Portal Dude #2! Dyed the shaded parts blue in this one, a neat effect that totally does not work in the pictures. Believe me it was awesome though.
Weighted Companion Pumpkin
Not my pattern.
Aperture Science Logo, also not my pattern.
GLaDOS, because no theme is complete without a crazy difficult pumpkin It's my new favorite. Go bask in the glory of the full sized image: http://johwee.deviantart.com/art/GLaDOS ... -492985397" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The cake is, of course, a lie. (Also not my pattern.)
And one more to round it all off! Not my pattern again.
So that summed up the end of last year. This year I've gotten off to a bit of a rough start because my schedule at works sucks and I haven't had a lot of time to sit and carve. I've knocked out 4 so far though!
Arrr it be the annual pirate pattern! From the book of patterns that came with the dremel drill.
Arcanine, my second favorite Gen 1 pokemon which for some reason I'd never carved until now!
Got my haunted house out of the way early, this pattern from Orange and Black pumpkins.
And the awesome witch pattern from this year's crop, because it is awesome and I don't carve enough witches.
I'm actually going to be out of town on Halloween this year, so I'm not going to do a big end of year theme. Instead I have plans to do at least 3 sets of pumpkins based on the video games I've been obsessed with this past year And they're all stupid crazy designs but if I pull it off it will be awesome 
And your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to kick me in the butt to make sure I post all of them before next year!

Obligatory MLP:FiM Pumpkin! This one is kind of a big spoiler for one of the recent episodes (5-18), so I'm gonna sneak it behind a spoiler because I ended up getting spoiled on it and was super annoyed about it. I wanted to enter this one in a contest but I was so busy with work and everything that I ended up starting this one at midnight when it was due at noon. But I finished in time and ended up winning!
