I didn't take the pic, I told my Dad to...if I'd done it, I would've taken it differently...

So, yeah…

BEHOLD THINE DARK JAK PUMPKIN CARVING! O_O

Here's the sketch I used to make it [link]

And I'm perdy damn proud of the end result! The only thing that I'm unsettled about is his mouth. I wasn't so sure it was gonna work in the beginning, what with all the little carved areas and all so close together, but I guess time, patients, and a well thought through design along with good carving knives helped me make it possible!
Though I did just realize that there's a part I forgot to carve in, and it's even marked. ….But it's not like I'm gonna point it out.

I worked on it in 2 sittings; the first the night before Halloween, the second after I got home from school on Halloween. It's kind-a weird; I had trouble with carving the left side, which I did in the second sitting. I don't know if it had to do with me not having a good art day on Halloween, or just that it was more difficult because it was the left side plus the knives being slightly bent…but whateveh. Just thought it was odd. I was gonna add some Precursor writing off to the sides of it, but I couldn't find my translation sheet and I didn't have time to look for it.

Now, what I'm disappointed with as far as the picture goes, is that my Dad took it at a slight angle, so it looks a little….different then if you were to look at it straight on and centered. It kind-a looses it's scary and intimidating feeling almost, since he appears to be looking off at something to the right (his left), instead of right at you. 0__0
But oh well, I have another pic of this in my scraps [link] , and in that one he's staring straight at all of us.

I edited the background out in photoshop, to draw more attention to the pumpkin - yes, but to mostly get rid of all my Mom's flowers that were behind it. x3

Tools:
Special Pumpkin carving knives (don't remember the brand name or what they were called), and my concept ref sketch
...oh, and a candle.
