Pumpkin Carvings
Ever since I started the
DH Pumpkin Contest, I've been carving my own pumpkin every year.
I use a little pumpkin saw/tool kit from the grocery store, as well as a few wood-carving tools for scraping and details. I draw my patterns and it usually takes me 1-2 full-working days to complete it.

Wanted to make another Avatar carving, but really didn't want it to be Aang again. ^^; Toph's pose is from the tv show, episode 2x06 "The Blind Bandit." It took about 9 hours to finish.

Got tired of making Avatar pumpkins, so I went with a Naruto design. I love how dynamic Naruto's face (which was on the back of the pumpkin) came out. A lot of the trick-or-treater parents thought the full-body Narutos were breakdancers. xD The Naruto poses are from the Naruto Shippuden manga, chapter 399. It took about 2 days to finish.

Went for a more simpler design, but was actually more time consuming because of all the shading/scraping. Aang's pose is from the animation short, "School Time Shipping." I think it took two days to finish.

I wanted to try a more complicated carving, and this time had a real carving kit & read carving guides. I love how the airball and smoke look. Aang's pose is from official Nickelodeon art. I think it took two days to finish.

My first solo carving. I didn't have good tools so it was really challenging for me to cut out the letters and not cut out Aang's face. I think it took 1-2 days to finish. I don't really like it. ^^;;
