Description I admit I'm not entirely satisfied with this, but after the Halo Reach pumpkin I didn't have the stamina to finish this up to the same standards. It looks less like Garrus and more like the Turian council member, buuut...oh well. Nothin' I can do about it now!!

So here is Garrus Vakarian, the ever faithful squad mate of the Mass Effect series. I don't have time to post a link tonight, but if you want to know what he looks like just google him. When I drew the stencil I used a couple references, but I wanted it to be a semi-original pose so it's not an exact copy of any one screen shot of him.

For those of you wondering about the discoloration on the one side of his face, it's a scar.

I strongly urge you to click [link] "=>here to check out my halo pumpkin, if you haven't already, because that is my better effort.

Sooo, hope all the Garrus fans will appreciate the small dedication to our favorite turian's greatness, however rushed it might be. And I hope the rest of you like it too.

Happy Halloween!

Much thanks again . Yep, Garrus is the man! Maybe I'll carve Wrex into a pumpkin this year. I haven't really thought that far ahead yet, but I just mentioned to my mom the other day how I wanted to carve a pumpkin, lol. Too bad I can't find any of those around here except during Halloween.

My brother is a huge Gears of War fan so I might do something for him. Or maybe a multi-character carving in anticipation of ME3. Well, whatever I do it should be fun to try anyway, . I'm excited just thinking about carving another epic scene, .

Congrats! You've given him a real glossy sheen.

Aww, thanks, . I wouldn't say it's above and beyond yours though. Yours is stylized and I was trying to do an exact copy. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but I'm satisfied, .

Wow, I saw your Reach pumpkin featured on Halo Waypoint and thought it was fantastic, but I didn't get a chance to look into the artist. Then, a friend of mine showed me this and it looks AMAZING! I love Garrus, and you did a fantastic job, both with this and the Reach one. Excellent work!

Well thank you, . I'm glad you stopped by for a visit.

Garrus is the man, haha. I wasn't sure if I captured his character well enough, but everyone says so, so I'll take their word for it. The Halo pumpkin was kind of my pride and joy this year - a lot of work went into that.

Shotgunchief In reply to Faerlyte [2010-11-01 22:56:20 +0000 UTC]

You definitely did, and I think that's kind of hard to do on a pumpkin.

Random question, did you enter the Reach one in the carving contest on HBO?

Faerlyte In reply to Shotgunchief [2010-11-01 23:23:25 +0000 UTC]

Yup, I did. I don't know how much chance I have of winning, but I figure it's worth trying anyway - see if I can earn something for all the work, .

If any punk comes along and smash this pumpkin, someone needs to scope them and drop them! In the name of Garrus Vakarian!!

Damn straight!

Although knowing Garrus, he could probably take care of it himself from a billion light-years away, .

Thanks for stopping by, .

Faerlyte In reply to TheDesertMan [2010-10-30 06:33:16 +0000 UTC]

Err, well, I drew him first, taped it on the pumpkin and used a scrimshaw tool to make little holes along the lines as guidelines for when I go to cut.

It's a long and involved process, haha. Thanks!

Wonderful! It doesn't look like the turian councilor, it definitely looks like Garrus. Win.

Woohoo, well that makes me feel better. When you've spent the last ten hours an uncomfortably close distance away from the face on your pumpkin your perspective becomes somewhat distorted.
