Your Creativity

Have I posted this picture up before?

The talk of Halloween reminded me of pumpkin carving. This was last year's creation. I put too many candles inside him and he basically cooked from the inside and the light produced was almost blinding. Made a great picture though..But this was taken on my phone and uploaded, so it's not brilliant quality.

I looked online for various designs and eventually mushed features I liked onto this pumpkin. ^.^

I don't think you posted that pic before Envy... I'm sure I'd remember it! Did it take you very long to carve it? I'd be worried about some of the skinnier pieces breaking.

Don't recall that it took that long..An hour at the most?

The pumpkin was pretty thick, so the teeth were quite sturdy actually, but of course, they went mushy and rotted first before the rest of it due to the surface area open to the air. It just took a bit of time and patience to ensure the bits between each tooth didn't snap.

I think it looked even better when it was just starting to rot actually, haha. The mouth was incredible.

This year, I want to attempt something a bit more time-consuming, a little like this:

Where only a little of the pumpkin is completely cut out and the rest is just made a bit thinner to form a pretty, glowing effect.

I'll have to think long and hard on what design I want though, as my parents only ever buy me one pumpkin to carve up. I have a friend who gets between 6-10 to play around with. !

Due to popular demand . . . a couple of my paintings. I'll put up more later if anyone is interested.

I like your paintings cemwerewolf! May I ask what is the technique of them? :laugh:

I love the mouse painting the most!!! Brilliant artwork!
The 2nd dragon is my next favourite, but all are beautiful!
