This is my entry post. I will update it as my work progresses!

IGN: Writhes

Made a concept sketch
Concept Kat

Peeled skin inside an outline then made a quick marker draft before I carve some simple stuff. Maybe I will gut it soon.
()_()

Gutted it and did some decent work on the eyes but the mouth still needs a lot done.
Glowy

I wish I had a better webcam so it would be easier to see its depth. Mine doesn't do it justice. Well, here is my final product... Maybe...
unlit

unlit closeup

lit with candle

flash light

Scary Kat

Edit: Please Judge based on the Scary Kat pic as it is the only pic without secondary light sources. The other pictures are mostly to satisfy legitimacy.

Hope everyone enjoyed looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Now my hands are tired but Ima still log back on to Spiral Knights and play anyway "Puts on cool glasses".

My Prize Preference is Anti-Personnel Spikes.

My Entry Post!

Knight Name: Mister-Panda

So, if it's not obvious what it is, it's the "Wise Owlite Shield", one of my personal favorites! :)

Creation Link 1: http://i.imgur.com/Y20XWPG.jpg - Here i started punctuating the outlines.

Creation Link 2: http://i.imgur.com/MEehZGE.jpg - This is the final touch where I remove the eyes.

Prize Preference: Shadow Cat Tail (If this prize is unavailable, I would prefer Anti-Personnel Spikes)

I did quite enjoy this competition! Was inspired to do so by Miss-Tea (She's became overly excited and called me, screaming; OMG, LETS DO IT!)

Don't give up yet Omniborg!

Don't admit defeat until the contest is done!
STAB THAT PUMPKIN! STAB IT GOOD!
Then light a fire inside of it, open up its head, and reveal it to us!

Wow, that sounds really morbid.

hi

i'm just a beginner so don't expect me to do well

Fiery Spirits

After purchasing a pumpkin and neglecting it for one week due to studies, I discovered that one third of the pumpkin was starting to mold, so I dropped everything then hacked that monstrosity off. I guess it worked for the best, otherwise I would've used up the other side of the pumpkin to carve something else xD

There are two sides to this pumpkin. One side shows His Majesty, Lord Vanaduke, holding out his mask to reveal his scorching face. The other side shows the mythical, and perhaps extinct, Vog Cub.

Knight Name: Fighting-Polygon

*I can't seem to stop the camera from adding dates automatically, but I added the name tag nonetheless*

Sketch (Vanaduke): http://i.imgur.com/REW6jyT.jpg
Sketch (Vog Cub): http://i.imgur.com/d1qmhxZ.jpg

Transferred (Vanaduke): http://i.imgur.com/R11Pq9S.jpg

Unlit (Vanaduke): http://i.imgur.com/y9Qcuaw.jpg
Unlit (Vog Cub):http://i.imgur.com/wfyz7M3.jpg

*This pumpkin carving was done in a two days time, so there are some changes between the lit and unlit versions*

Lit (Vanaduke): http://i.imgur.com/9Ybr1pJ.jpg
Lit (Vog Cub): http://i.imgur.com/gffySxy.jpg

BONUS (to show proof of two faces on one pumpkin): http://i.imgur.com/p042OyM.jpg
BONUS (added some coloured tissue paper on the eyes): http://i.imgur.com/axEEbVa.jpg

Prize preference: One Shadow Cat Tail, please!

Mewkat pumpkin!

Complete lit (IMO not as good as the Reddit picture): http://i.imgur.com/yN9e7Ug.jpg

Prize preference: Monster Pocket - any one is fine, but for obvious reasons I'd prefer the Mewkat! :3

If I do win I would prefer ghostly aura................ but

I really want the obsidian edge because i'm having a hard time getting it. I have a silent nightblade (lvl 6 sadly and i'm having a hard time heating up my blade because of my other naughty equipment) and I don't get to play alot (so i can't get sigils in time), so can i please have a obsidian edge if possible. I really want something cool on my first halloween. Thx for reading!
