Wychwood Halloween Competition 2012

[J.R.R.Tokin']

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with djonkoman, and don't fret too much about the Pumpkin, I know they can be hard to find for some so any big veg will do if you can't find one.

@farscaper. You can post as many pics as you like but in the end you have to pick just one and state it as your entry piece. Based on your first entry I really can't wait to see what you come up with

 

[farscaper]

Very cool. I will make the next one count for sure!

 

[Cereal_MF]

So guys, I screwed up my first attempt, but I used the pulp to make pumpkin bread!

I'm gonna go for a more simple concept on my next attempt

 

[Cereal_MF]

I had a butternut pumpkin in stock and decided to carve it up today. My idea was to make it look like a deep sea floating monster, kind of a mutant jellyfish/crab. I strung it up with a piece of black cotton, and it looks very spooky as it slowly rotates in space like a ghost!

Here is my entry, I had a lot of fun making it:

bleak yours actually sort of reminds me of a Moai figure like the ones on Easter Island.

I'm so in on this. My wife and I love carving pumpkins every year. I'll post mine up closer to Halloween

 

[NewVape]

This contest has gotten me excited about carving another pumpkin this year. So to whet your appetites here are the pumpkins my wife and I made the last two years. In the pictures mine are on the left and my wife's are on the right. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.

These are not entries for the contest they are for your entertainment only.

From Halloween 2010

From Halloween 2011

I can't wait to see how they turn out this year.

Having mild arthritis and my wife dealing with worse... I get it. Some of those cuts must have been a bitch, especially getting towards the end. I can deal with it initially, its just the constant grip and trying to carve... ugh. Props, friend.

And actually, t-dub... if I get a chance to get a pumpkin and carving stuff in the next few days, you would be responsible for inspiring me to do so. I've had the idea since JRR announced it and I'm shocked... the obvious has gone >>whooooooosh>> so far.

I'm just trying to figure out if I can cut it without destroying the pumpkin or my hands.

Thanks BDV, actually scraping the guts out was the worst part, it just went downhill from there

Oh @#$%! I didn't even think about the guts. I'll give that job to my daughter.

 

[farscaper]

little hint with getting guts out... try sticking a hand mixer or a drill with a paint stir stick attached to it into the cavity and use it to scramble things about a bit and itll help get a lot of the loose guts out without much effort. as for if your gonna go scrape a lot of inner wall off i cant help u there. thats a bitch no matter whatcha do... IMO.
Note: i dont know how the mixer or drill will fair for those with arthritis, but it does speed the process as long as you dont get a tuff ass pumpkin.

enjoys!

Here's my entry, it was a lot of fun to make!

 

[OhTheAgony]

If anyone needs some inspiration, check out this dude

And if that doesn't work for you you might want to try some of these methods to release some frustration:

 

[farscaper]

OTA... Yusser im inspired now... Gonna murder me some produce this weekend!

 

[Takavor23]

Lol bunch of grown men playing with their food XD

 

[J.R.R.Tokin']

Some great new entries - really making it a hard decision. So far the gf is thoroughly impressed by the standard of entries. Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun. I'm guessing that there will be a few more posted before the end as Halloween is just around the corner.

 

[SativaLover420]

My first attempt ever at making a jack-o, it was fun while vaping :-)

 

[Ape With A Vape]

I am definitely entering in this contest, im gonna start carving tomorrow! Everyone's entries look great. This is my first time carving so I'm sure it won't be very intricate, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for starting this contest, it's a cool idea.

 

[Motavation]

Any images or details of the Vaporizer?

 

[farscaper]

Fuck... Well, i did it.... Lol i always do...
Took a break from carving to say that i drew official first blood!
exacto knife got me by suprise... Im always the one poking a finger lmao.

Its all worth it!

Edit: it is now 2:30 am my time... Going to bed. I will post pics on the flip side folks.

Peace

I do not envy your lady's task, Cookie. I find it impossible to choose the prettiest one already!

 

[farscaper]

OK, #1... im not gonna win the pretty award... not by far. #2... somebody has been watching and reading toooooo much walking dead for his own good. #3 Here is my submission... unless i can one up it with the next. My wife said, "make a funny one"... i dont think that really sunk in very well... LMAO, so if the last one of the season turns out cute I will post it for the lady, if not... everyone can still be a little grossed out by this guy.

I like to tell little stories about my pumpkins... so...

This one was lurking about yesterday... had to put this Zombie-Pumpkin down! was a biggn' though so it didnt go down easy!

You can see very clearly below where it got attacked by another Zombie-Pumpkin

The Two Liter bottle is for size reference, this was a big old pumpkin!...

so make sure to keep an Eye on your pumpkin patch... there just might be a Zombie-Pumpkin waiting to bite you too!

 

[brandonflav]

Awesome pumpkin farscaper.

Figured I'd throw one in the mix. Just setup the rig though might do another pumpkin, lol. If I can come up with something better I'll post that up as my submission.

Thanks for the cool contest Wychwood!

I tried making your photo's appear but I'm not sure what's wrong with them. I can view then in a separate tab, but somehow they won't show up here. I think you may need to use a different host.
