KnivesJonquil: Looked them all over, and I just had to choose Bomb King. There are three specific reasons why I chose Bomb King.

1. Aesthetic. It is absolutely marvelous truly a work of art. Even someone who doesn't play FFXI could appreciate the detail shown in this work, and that's something to be very proud of. It's an in-the-round artpiece too, while a lot of jack-o-lanterns people normally see are only meant to be see at one single angle.

2. Thumbnail. When you look at the thumbnail page, the first thing you see is an almost life-like monster. A powerful artpiece has to also be able to stand out in a crowd. The Bomb King also has a clear focal point... the incredibly bright mouth. Seriously amazing.

3. Personal attachment. When I was a newbie, one of my ways of making money was to hang out in the northeastern Horutoto Tower and hunt Doppleganger Dio, Doppleganger Gog, and the Bomb King. It could be said that the "king" part of the name could have been just tacked on, but even the name of an artpiece adds to the power a painting can have.

I wish I could see the thing in real life. Kudos to the creator, and I hope you win!

Donomni: Bomb King, no contest. It's truly a sight to behold. Honestly, it looks like the character designers went to town on that pumpkin.

If Shigeru Miyamoto had a pumpkin, and Nintendo let him have any pumpkin, this would be that pumpkin.
