So I started carving pumpkins related to current happenings at Bungie last year. Last Halloween, Halo 3 had just come out so I made [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/DSCF1252.jpg]this[/url] beauty. Some guy in town dressed up as Master Chief for Halloween. He approved of my pumpkin. =]
This year, I made [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/pumpkin%2008/pumpkin2.jpg]this[/url]. Seems like a fitting design, don't you think?
I made these using a relief cutting method (where you thin parts instead of cutting holes). A candle, therefore was [i]way[/i] to dim to effectively light it up. I use a 120 Watt light bulb instead. =]
On a side note... both of these are carved using nothing more than a standard screwdriver and a keychain pocket knife.
Please, feel free to post any Halo or Bungie related pumpkins here.
Edit: sorry, I lied above... I also used a spoon to gouge out the SI's eyes. =]
Edit 2: New pumpkin posted. See [url=/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27459690&postRepeater1-p=1#27519077]below.[/url]

And... Done. [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/pumpkin%2008/pumpkin%2008%20mark%202/DSCF1579.jpg]Here's[/url] the new one. SI Mark II. =] Thought I'd mix it up a bit. Here are some daylight pics of it: [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/pumpkin%2008/pumpkin%2008%20mark%202/DSCF1568.jpg]Pic 1[/url] | [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/pumpkin%2008/pumpkin%2008%20mark%202/DSCF1573.jpg]Pic 2[/url] And [url=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/nick53182/Halo%20Pumpkin/pumpkin%2008/pumpkin%2008%20mark%202/DSCF1576.jpg]here's[/url] another lit up pic that looks a bit different. This pumpkin had the consistency of a block of wood... I had to carve it with a set of chisels... not very precise. Likewise, I sort of may have chipped off a chunk of the SI's face near the right eye... Woops.
