I've never really bothered to put much effort into carving a pumpkin before... tried to do this freehand. It took way too much effort and I think I could have still done better, oh well!

Inspiration of course:

Somehow I was kinda expecting shark teeth or something

Carved this with a little help from my 3yr old daughter, and yes we used a stencil.

Had an awesome night carving with some amazing friends, after being inspired by this!
Definitely most fun and memorable GH Contests so far!

That looks awesome! Was waiting to see someone... Fist a pumpkin... Yeah...

With any luck I'll be getting a pumpkin tonight to work on tomorrow! Kinda excited though worried how much of a mess it's going to be haha... Anyone got any tips for emptying one out?

Thx alot baldgye!

I just used a big spoon for the emptying part which worked quite well actually.
Emptying wasn't as messy as I expected, but its still the worst part... =)

Id recommend covering your workspace in newspaper xD

Wow this is great! How long did it take you?

Thankyou!
I would say, maybe four hours.

Could only get a small pumpkin and this was my first time attempting to "peel" as well as cut holes, it was going pretty well until I cut my finger half way through doing the nose so only the teeth are as intended, but nevermind.

Nowhere near the quality of some entries but I don't care as it was fun and I have a bowl of seeds to roast (another first for me

)

Happy Halloween everyone!

tinymakesthings · « **Reply #120 on:** Sat, 31 October 2015, 12:18:35 »

Man, there are some really awesome pumpkins in here!

This is my first time carving, and I just picked a Jake the dog from Adventure Time. Nothing amazing but I had a great time, and a lot of pumpkin seeds to bake (yum!).

Pumpkin carving is literally the hardest thing when doing with a dull fat knife - I accidently cut off one of the eyes

Happy Halloween everyone!

pr0ximity · « **Reply #122 on:** Sat, 31 October 2015, 20:54:54 »

Not sure we can compete with some of the entries here, but my girlfriend and I took the opportunity to carve some pumpkins for the context and added them to her parents' pumpkins this afternoon in preparation for the neighborhood children tonight. Very traditional styles, but it was a ton of fun; she picked the pumpkins and cleaned them, and I did the carving. See if you can tell which two we did and which three her parents did

I call the big one "The Vandal", guess the inspiration

I guessed "The Vandal" was one of yours but not the other one. Looking again three do share a style of nose so I should have got the other one too but I'll settle for 50%

I've been trying to upload these for a while now...

But I see someone has made a better version.

I spent forever carving my niece's and nephews pumpkins. Then drove home and carved mine.

It was gonna be a Harry Potter thing (my costume) but then free handing is difficult and was tired. Bro fist is easier, but I'm no good at letters

Also I don't know how these picture actually look (on mobile and just uploading)

The failed project

Phone for light lol

Okay cool!

Back to the party

I love all the submissions. Don't have time to carve a pumpkin myself, but it's really awesome.

It's gonna be hard to pick a winner.

I tried to carve something, a simple witch pattern because a family member requested it, hahahah, nope. Uncarved back up pumpkin sitting on porch >.<

OMG!!!

All these pumpkin carvings are sooooooo goooooooooooooood!!!

It's too bad I was out of town for the past weekend+

Otherwise, I would have tried my best to join y'all.

It was too much fun looking through these photos. Seriously awesome stuff ~

Redeemd · « **Reply #135 on:** Sun, 01 November 2015, 14:22:01 »

I bought 5 pumpkins, and over the course of two days i tried to make something worth submitting.. and none of them made it. ended up throwing them all away

I have no idea how you all made these. Everyone who submitted deserves to win. The talent here is shocking.

You should cut little eye holes out, then you'd be tied with Ahab!

He must know about eyehole man and didn't want to lose his eyeholes.
