Holy crap... that Ifrit is so detailed...

If I didn't know it was a pumpkin I'd be afraid it might jump out and rip my face off.

I voted "jack" not only cuz the name is wicked cool, but for nostilage(sp?) sake.

You did the bomb one, Pikko? I thought it was amazing.. I thought it was going to be in the contest and so thought I was going to be able to vote for it.. Oh well..

I had to vote for the goblin with a bomb, purely out of sentimentality. What I would really like to see is a shot of the Ifrit pumpkin unlit. I want to know how that effect was achieved. It was really cool seeing the lit and unlit versions of the skeletal warrior, it's amazing what can be achieved with shaving.

I'm wildly impressed, we don't do the pumpkin thing here in Oz, and it's totally amazing to me what you guys can do.

Wow, all these are to good to choose. The ifrit one looks really detailed, and so does the fenrir carving and the X-32. Who ever carved these, they are real good.

I said it before, but it bears repeating: I think the Bomb pumpkin needs a firecracker so it can use Self-Destruct ^^

Does anyone else use the pumpkin-carving website Zombie Pumpkins?

I used a number of their patterns this year, and there's two that happen to be identical to the Dwarf and Jack entries...

http://www.zombiepumpkins.com/pixel.php
The World of Warcraft dwarf on the bottom row, next to the orc.

http://www.zombiepumpkins.com/burton.php

Fourth row down, far right side, labeled Jack (happy).

All the others are awesome, though! Pikko, your bomb rocks!

Agh I didn't see Ifrit until after I voted. Smiley: glare

Lots of good ones, I really liked your bomb Pikko.

Thanks guys. :) The bomb was a trooper and lasted all week. Kirin was all fuzzy by Halloween morning so I had to throw him out. He was so nasty. :(

...as much as I liked Fenrir's doggy style, I had to go with Ifrit as he was the only one I never obtained in all my healing days of SMN.

I had to go with the goblin with the bomb for the same reason as Aripyanfar the Eccentric

Voted Fenrir, it seemed more artistic than Ifrit although both were good.

Need more WoW ones next year!

I voted for fenrir, but Ifrit was pretty awesome.

On a side-note, was anybody surprised at the lack of WoW pumpkins? Lack of creativity maybe....

FFXI > WoW :D

Tough choice between Fenrir and Ifrit, both are amazing. Ended up voting ifrit 'cause it looked harder to make :)
