Rules:
1. We will select 10 of the top creations from the group.
2. Your pumpkin doesn't have to be the best in terms of artistic talent, it just needs to show you really put effort and thought into it :)
3. Post a photo of your pumpkin from different angles - you must include a piece of paper with your geekhack name and the date on it in all of the photos
4. We will then post a poll with the top 10, and the 3 designs with the most votes will be the final winners.
The Loot:
1x Multi-color Grumpkin in topre or mx stem type

Having NOT done any pumpkin carving - hey, I am in Asia and it's not a thing - I presume, just using a kitchen knife is not enough and could be hazardous, right? And how do you dry the inner part after the innards are taken out? I just don't want it to grow mucus, that will be disgusting. But I think it will be a fun project with the girls... except, I don't think we sell BIG pumpkin here. Alas!!
For anything with detail you will want to use a relatively small knife. If you only have small pumpkins they will probably be harder than the ones we get for halloween over here, so mind your fingers. Our halloween pumpkins are basically inedible and are really only good for carving (which is kind of a shame really when you think about it).
You don't really dry out the inside. You take out the seeds and then use a spoon or an icecream scoop to get rid of all the stringy stuff and then you go to town on the outside. :)

They should be relatively cheaper then as they are probably rejects. Our pumpkins here are really small, think coconut or watermelon, so I am not even sure how practical this project will be for me. Looks like I need to do some grocery shopping this weekend with the kids.

I used a rotozip tool to define the letters into the pumpkin and then put some glitter on them for effect. The rest was carved with your traditional cheepo pumpkin carving tools. I put two sets of micro lights inside it to light it up (those work really well!). Glue dots were used to affix the spiders.
Now I have to roast up them seeds!

Here's my entry. Have not carved a pumpkin in my life and decided to start this project with the kids. Unfortunately, I'm able to entice the interest and loyalty of my 4 year old. The elder one decided to go out with her mother.

What we did was super primitive - I saw those craving in youtube - they are just superb! One girl even use drilling bits to drill holes to make flower patterns. Its just so amazing! No way we can compare to what you guys will be coming up with but the experience is definitely priceless :)

Good work Belfong, the slightly ragged edges and imperfect shapes make for a scarier pumpkin and that's the point :thumb:Thanks suicidal! I'll take some more photos with the identification.
One thing though - you're supposed to have your name in all the pics to enter so you might want to take some more!
Interestingly, on the imgur album, I've had comments at how dangerous it was to use a scissor to carve. I didn't realise the hazards!
@Bad - beautiful zombie pumpkin! Wow, you are so talented!

You gotta be dead to be mummified, then if you've moved enough to disturb your wrapping you must be undead therefore it's a zombie as well as a mummy?

Sorry Bro, I wanted to do your cherikey design but that **** was too hard.
For a second I thought that you carved a Mummy out of a pumpkin!
Maybe I will carve a Cherokee for fun.

This was my first time carving since we don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia, and with the help of my partner I think we ended up with something pretty cool. Pretty rough around the edges but I say that gives it character :p
And here's some more photos:

Feeling that it needed a little something else, I tried to light it with a candle. That wasn't working, so I grabbed a white 2x3x4mm LED, attached a resistor to it, and attached it to a 9v battery to make it light up.

2. Your pumpkin doesn't have to be the best in terms of artistic talent, it just needs to show you really put effort and thought into it :)
You should still submit! I am not the most artistic either and might carve a pumpkin just for fun :P

Well, if you want to "cheat", you can do a pumpkin stencil (https://www.google.com/search?q=pumpkin+stencil). I think some of the pumpkins in here may have done that. I drew on mine with a sharpie, then went to town with my bigass pocket knife.

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... =)
