Traditional Pumpkin Carving Contest


The object of this contest is to carve your own real pumpkin!

This is the Traditional Carving Contest!
There is also a Digital Contest, which can be found here.



Rules

1. You must submit one entry of a carved pumpkin. If no pumpkin is available to you, you may use a vegetable or fruit alternative. However, no other types of carvings will be accepted.

2. You must provide a minimum of 3 separate pictures of your carving process along with your Username and the Date physically displayed somewhere in each picture. You may provide a lit/unlit version of your final entry. Here is an example of how this should look:


You do not need to post them in a grid like this. I just did this to save space.

3. You must actually be the one to create your entry! While assistance is fine, you cannot simply have someone else carve for you and then claim credit. If you are tracing an image for your entry, you must have been the one to originally create that image (Unless what you are tracing is a Sylestia asset, such as our pets, avatars, monsters, etc)! The main point of this contest is to have fun and to get involved in something outside of the digital world. So just do your best and have fun. =) We want to see your creativity!

4. Please do not reserve posts. Only post when you are ready to submit an entry. If your entry is still ongoing, you may post early with the progress that you currently have and edit your post as you finish.

5. Please do not ping me unless you have a specific question or concern that I need to address. Thank you.

6. The due date for submitting your entry is by the posted end date in the Fall Festival Overview Thread, which will be posted once the Fall Festival begins.


Notes

If this is your first time attempting to carve a pumpkin, here is a helpful guide on the entire process:

I carved my pumpkin already ... hope that's okay XD We went to a pumpkin patch last month and I decided to carve it for the contest!

The inspiration was some of the Sylestia species going trick-or-treating, so I have a Sylvorpa in a ghost costume, a Zolnixi in a lion costume, and a Luffox in a taco costume.



Then I took a pin and poked the design into the pumpkin so I could have an outline to carve.



And then I had a little disaster. The whole bottom of my pumpkin rotted because I couldn't work on it for a day so I had to cut it off. I cut off all the rotten bits and continued to carve.



And then it was done! ... And yes, I did take the pictures in my bathroom because it's the only dark room in my house XD

Here's my pumpkin carved for dual purpose contest entry and Halloween decoration. Nothing too fancy, just an owl.

Starfox pumpkin

Had a bit of fun, sadly not time for new art sketches so used something I had. Kinda interesting translating it into a carving.

Sorry about the terrible quality image, only camera available at the moment is a flip phone.

I would have included a picture after I'd marked the design but before I started carving, but it didn't show up at all.
So there's a photo from half-ish way through carving.

finished

aaand one in better light

Don't have pumpkins, so I'm going to use potatoes this time around, as apples were harder to work with than I excepted last year.
(They kept slipping lol)

I've decided on doing a Cute Witch Nixi


The potatoes (Got 2, just in case)

Almost done.


Finished~ I added one more ghost & cleaned up a bit.
The potatoes were easier than the apple, although the eyes did get in the way.
I also ended up trying again & carving on the second one for fun, here's how that turned out.
