Cyberpumpkin
Oct. 31st, 2007 12:53 amWell, GIP obviously. This year's pumpkin was inspired by this dalek, which is, er, a bit out of my league.
This is based on BBC gallery photos but not on an existing pumpkin design; we pulled a couple of likely photos into Photoshop and Marianne told me how Cybermen glow. It's my first attempt at shading, too. The pumpkin's a rather unpromising squat shape, too. Boo to Tescos, who had a big pile of essentially crap pumpkins.
Next year: a dremel. But not I think, a Funkin - 'realistic hand-painted artificial pumpkins that allow you to keep your carvings forever'. Because that would be tat. Just a bit.
