I came home from work on Tuesday, and my brother tells me I need to carve an Eddie Riggs pumpkin for some gaming website contest (the prize was a stash of video games).
Unfortunately, I misunderstood when the due date to have your pics submitted was and didn’t get in on the contest. Which is okay; I don’t really like how this came out.
I painted it with black gesso for a more “metal” look. \m/
Don’t forget to enter my annual Halloween/Dia de los Muertos Contest if you haven’t already!

1st try of the year at carving (actually carving without hollowing it out first) pumpkins. not as great as i imagined it would be, but that happens. a lot, actually. i have delusions of grandeur sometimes. this is what happened after about three hours of hacking away at that poor pumpkin. at some point, i decided if i hacked anymore off it would REALLY look like shite. wrapped it in plastic and took it to the office this afternoon so it would be there for the contest tomorrow (the contest is being held before i get there).
also, it looks like i lied about the Thursday Feature being up today. the whole “my entire abdominal area feels like it’s full of needles” kind of feeling is starting to take it’s toll on me, and i’m super tired all the time now. so, let’s shoot for next week since there’s not going to be any decent teevee because of the election and all.
