Sad news, carvers. I attempted to bring my pumpkin inside today to ponder a carvin' and to my surprise it was bruised (?) and one entire side was mushed in on itself. I've only had the dang thing for a day! :|

Definitely no carving for me - at least for now. I may be acquiring another 'kin this coming weekend.
You need a woman to help you choose your pumpkin man! LOL

LOL! You're so right! Hahahaha

First time ever carving pumpkins and new to GH (have been a lurker for quite a while now)! I wanted to be different and do a 3D pumpkin carving instead of cutting straight through. Took way longer than I expected and was pretty hard. Super happy with the end result though.

Have some in progress pictures as well as a timestamp and final form!

I went for a baby pumpkin and totally ****ed it up. Now the real question, do I start my next pumpkin sober or with several beers in me?

Sarah says beer.

And I agree with her. Beer beer beer beer!

I guess I'll carve a normal pumpkin and then have a few drinks to carve another pumpkin to see my improvement.

Dang, lots of great stuff in here! I'm not one to carve pumpkins, so I'll just watch and enjoy the great pics.

You should do it. It's a great reason to get some friends together and drink some good beer.
One of our friends has a party every year to get together, have some great food, drink good beer, and carve pumpkins.

My inspiration. A little bit of V1 and V2 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!

Here's my entry - first pumpkin I've done without the help of my parents when I was a kid. It's a lot harder than I thought! My hole on top was too small so scooping out the mess was a bit interesting, lots of fun though!

UPDATE: My pumpkin died after 4 days??.. RIP
It looked scarier at least. To the trash it goes!

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

And here's some more photos:

Thanks for setting up this contest bro, had a blast making it and love seeing some of the other users creations, great stuff guys.

I also made a timelapse of us making it but don't know if I'll post it.

As you can probably tell, I'm a professional pumpkin carver in my time off. Who needs all these fancy pumpkin tools when you have a pocket knife and a rusty spoon?

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.

It was a PITA to do since I cut the door in the back instead of going through the top.

It looks great though.

I guess if I was already done with the carving, I may as well commit and finish the job

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

Well, if you want to "cheat", you can do a 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.

First time trying to make a pumpkin carving, tried to go for a crying baby look... As you can see that's not how it turned out in the end... Turned out okay anyways, haha! Was fun nevertheless, the pumpkin seeds are in the oven at this moment

My younger sisters made pumpkins at the same time; here's group photos!
