:( 2013 Spiral Knights Pumpkin Carving Contest :(

2013 Spiral Knights Pumpkin Carving Contest...
Actually, I missed the contest... My mistake, I simply thought the contest lasted longer, and Eurydice would not let me enter late. Here is what I would have entered.
My theme is a general Spiral Knights theme featuring a Dark Fang shield, a Love puppy, and the Spiral Knights main text logo.
Enjoy!
Knight Name: Yvanblo
Creation Link: Create it
Unlit link: In broad daylight
Lit Link: Light me up

Thank you for the kind words! I really hoped to be part of the contest this year, but I guess next year I will get my pumpkin a little earlier.

Um... there's no paint on my pumpkin... I can post an unlit, completed, pic if that will make you feel better.(?)

It looks black because I left the outer skin on the pumpkin in all of the "dark spots". Notice that the lettering, love puppy, and parts of the shield all look the same as the rest of the uncarved pumpkin.
I'll post a daylight pic later tonight when I get home. I didn't bother following all the rules of the contest, since, hhmmm, let's see... I'm not in it? I figured showing what I had would be good enough, and the extra effort of pretending to enter the contest was not worth it.
Anyway, I hope you all like my design!

but the timing is horrible............... nope i feel srry for you. :(

Thanks man, I had high hopes with my design for the contest, but alas, I started carving on the very evening of the deadline. I got on later that night to double check what all was needed to enter the contest (pics, nametag, etc.), and was devastated to discover that the contest was closed. My daughter was going to enter as well. I really can only blame myself for missing the deadline, and for that I get only the satisfaction of seeing people enjoy my handy work.
With that in mind, let me know what you think! I would love to hear from all of you!

Here is the last image, due to some confusion with the lit image... not that any of this really matters...
Ahhh. Well, that would've been pretty cool if you got it in on time, it looks fantastic.
