Video Game Pumpkin Carving

by jjweatherman

So I've been carving video game pumpkins for at least a couple years strait now. Last years pumpkin was based on portal. I only have a shitty picture of it, but here's that one from a year ago: Portal's a game. Just FYI. It was roughly carved, but I thought it turned out fairly well.

So I've been carving video game pumpkins for at least a couple years strait now. Last years pumpkin was based on portal. I only have a shitty picture of it, but here's that one from a year ago:

Portal's a game. Just FYI. It was roughly carved, but I thought it turned out fairly well.

This year I decided to continue the theme and think up something else video game related. Since I've been playing a lot of Rock Band 3 lately, it seemed obvious that I should do something with that. I'm not the greatest pumpkin carver in the world, so I tried to come up with something relatively simple. I came up with this:

Drums! The symbol is practically begging to be carved into a giant orange vegetable.
So that translated into this:

Pre-darkness Which, when lit up, looks like this:

Darkness (I throw dark) As you may have noticed, I was unable to keep the white sections on top of the drums (as seen in the outline image) because they weren't connected to anything. I could have pulled some kind of trickery to get them on there, but with my limited skills, I'd bet it would have looked awful. I like how it turned out though. I'm no pumpkin master by any means, but I work with what I've got.

So that's been my brief expedition into video game pumpkin carving. I plan to continue it next year, but I probably will follow tradition and not come up with an idea until the day of Halloween, again. If any of you carved a video game pumpkin this year, then don't be shy! Post pictures!
