Haha Bleak that is freaking awesome. The last pumpkin I made was suppose to look like cyclopes from X men and ended up looking like a sideways penis with a mouth.

So if we were to make something that needed a video to accurately showcase it; we would still only be able to submit a picture which would be judged? Could it be a .gif?
To make it fair I have to ask for still pictures. You can add a gif or vid too, but there needs to be stills too.
If a vaporizer that wasn't a Wychwood was in the picture, would it have any less chance of winning? :p
You can put a vape in the pic if you want, I wont hold a grudge...or will I ;)

Figured i'd stop on my way home last night, and get some pumpkins. Might as well get a little festive.

Cannibal pumpkin.
I forgot to put the "Wychwood Halloween contest" in that one :doh:

Then I tried to make one a little more FC friendly when I got home from work today.

I call it "munchies". :brow:

This looks like a blast! I am off to get a pumpkin and do a little carvin'.

Mine will look ridiculous compared to the entries already in (they are friggin' awesome!) but what the hell, you never know.

This is a bad ass contest!

Oh my god! All the other guys entries absolutely rock!!

So, a little disclaimer from my entry (or maybe just "try" :) ): Where I live, there's absolutely no tradition on halloween and I have never before seen anyone carving a pumpkin or tried it myself, and also, it is not easy to find a pumpkin (a round one), so I picked up a watermelon.

I came just for the fun of it, I hope you have some fun as well seeing my absolute beginner watermelon carving skills freaky (still very fun, I assure!) result...

@oaklahomie. Nice work. I'm loving the look of the cannibal pumpkin - he really looks like he got 'caught in the act'.

@farscaper. Very original and freaky. I wouldn't like to wake up next to it!

@banana_republic. Loving that your getting into the spirit. He definitely looks like a Brazilian cousin to the Jack-o-Lantern - who know's, put it on your windowsill and you might start a new trend 'Melancia-o-Lanterna'.

First off, nice carving skills bleak, I attempted a 3d type carving last year but gave up pretty quickly, lol.

- No digital alterations allowed to pictures.


Just to clear things up, all digital pictures are "altered" in camera. I shoot RAW so I must alter them to display them (White balance, tonal curve, sharpening, etc). I'm guessing you mean no "photoshopping" or pixel level editing.

Looking forward to giving this a go and seeing what others come up with. Some great ideas already.

I am SHOCKED no one has thought of the obvious yet... smh

I'd do it, but I suck at pumpkin carving and already know there's some pros in here, I'm not going to come close to...

Green goes to brown, n that's what I stand for.
Its not all about technical skill man. I mean im sure its a huge advantage. Since a girl will be judging n she will probably be pretty stoned too, i think the one that she gets the biggest kick out of will be the winner!

And yet, the obvious STILL hangs right there, like a ripe apple, waiting to be plucked. :doh:

Well, maybe I'll give it a shot. Have to get me one of those pro $1.99 carving kits! The Wychwood, is really the only other log vape I want.

You are correct. White balance etc is fine, just no photoshopping etc.

@cereal_mf. That would look kinda funky if you did your avatar. And your right about the judging - as stated in the original post "Judging will be based on creativity, visual appeal, staging and effort." So, not just technical skill.

@BDV. I'd love to see you enter. $1.99 for the carving set, $2.99 for the pumpkin - so for under $5 you could win yourself over $200 worth of vape - worth the risk imo ;)

Great stuff so far from those so far that have entered, keep it up :D

guess I''ll have bto give it a try too this week, I just had a first idea. no idea of I can find a pumpkin anywhere around here tough...(halloween isn''t ce;ebrated here)
 

OhTheAgony

here for the chicks
I've seen some at the 'Intratuin' Djonko, but they were pretty expensive (as one can expect there), especially the large ones. I do like the 'melon' alternative though, if only I could find a straw hat like Banana-dude's :lol:

Come on BDV, show us some creativity! I am sure you won't be able to come up something worst than my freak watermelon! :D

I noticed that everyone around is having lots of fun! No matter who takes the prize, I really loved taking part on this 'crazy contests', specially trying to learn something I have never even though about....

JRR, You made me laugh so much, man!! God, I must have woke up some neighboors....
Maybe you can think about something like the worst creation for the next contest (if any), that'd be the big chance for our South American freaky Melancias :)

Don't forget to have fun guys
Cheers!
