Is that actually a pumpkin carving? That is incredible if so. Nice work.

Thanks Michael.
It took about an hour to carve. Its freehand off of a "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends" cartoon image. I used to be a leather craftsman and now can wield an exacto blade pretty well.
Photo could be better...low-light should mean tripod and a longer exposure. Longer exposure and handheld...a bit blurry.

so you didn't go all the way through with most of it? that is my problem in carving pumpkins b/c then the skin is too heavy to support the thiner lines.

pixability says:

exactly chad, with the exception of the litle fourxfour window on the tall tower, and all the larger windows, the lines are cut just deep enough to reveal light from within.
On the 4x4 window I experienced what you were talking about.

Excellent personal touch! You and Mr. Exacto should be proud. Did your "treeters" get a good look? Thanks for the light show, the focus is as good as it needs to be. The mood is what counts.

Very clear for the 1/2 second handheld. Nice work, it's hard to believe someone can actually carve such a thing.

pixability says:

Thanks all, your all far more impressed then were the paultry 6 trick or treaters we had come to our door/ My town has seen all the kids replaced by retirees...Hitting the neighborhood with my 6 year old only one of 5 houses had a pumpkin out and lights on.And being out for an hour we only saw a handful of other kids, and I live in a subdivision in in a dense town. 5 years ago we'd get hundreds of kids in our neighborhood.

Your praise is likely going to get me to create a whole series of carved pumpkins next year, at least I can share them on flickr.

This is the most elaborate and most beautiful work on a pumpkin I have ever seen - I am sooooo impressed! Just extraordinary!!!

Hello
Is it possible to place this picture of the pumpkin on my site www.anglia-4u.com/entertainment.htm? I'm writing about Halloween but have no nice pictures. The site is in Russian and for Russian tourists travelling to the UK.
Thank you
Anna
