Code Geass Halloween Pumpkin

Another Halloween pumpkin! Code Geass this time.

Lelouch was sad that he didn't get a pumpkin. So I made him one. ^_^

This was the original picture.

Notice the eye is open wider than in the pumpkin version--if I hadn't changed it the iris would have been floating in space, and you can't have that. After playing with the brightness and the contrast in Photoshop Elements, I used the shadow on the eye to define the upper eyelid and thus anchor the iris.

And then, again, a little work with a black marker.

Damn, I'd like to see one of those in my neighborhood. ROFL.

Awesome job and thanks for sharing ~

Thank you! Yeah, pity it's going to rot so quickly. ^_^

I love it! I'm sure if I tried something similar, it would fall apart. xD Nice work.

I've learned a lot in a few Halloweens! And sometimes the ones that make you think, "Oh, this one won't be so hard are the ones that KILL ya. ^_^ Thanks very much!

wow, that is neat work, love it <33.

Thank you! It was fun!

Awesome job. :D
I want one of those on my porch xD

I wish it would last longer than it will! Thank you!

That is so cool! :D

Thanks so much! Hadda do it for Lelouch. ^_^

My.. my.. that look SO NEAT!!!! pumpkin craving can certainly get creative ^___^ Now everyone pass by your house for "trick-or-treat" would be GEASS XD XD

And if I could make it happen, I'd probably use the power for, "You will all go home and watch this awesome show!" :D

Haha, you are made of win.

So glad you like, thank you!

*envies your pumpkin skillz*

Lelouch will geass you into making one! :D

that is so AWESOME!

Thanks so much! I had fun. ^_^

That pumpkin carving is full of epic win!!!

Thank you so much! :D

Uwaaahhh! That's so cool~~ I want one too XD

Thanks for sharing ^_~

Thank you for commenting! :D

Good heavens! That is BRILLIANT! Beautifully done.

Aw, thank you! It's fun to have some kind of artwork to contribute. *cannot draw for anything*

You can't draw for anything? That's honestly hard to believe! If you can carve on pumpkins like this, then surely you can make engravings (which all of the old art masters did, and engravings are just like drawings, right?)

Anyway, you did an awesome job! And your Death Note pumpkins look incredible, too! Although I have to say that Code Geass is overwhelmingly more pumpkin-like than Death Note---sure, Death Note has the gothic aesthetic thing going on, but all of the stringy stuff inside the pumpkin is totally like the network of neurons and blue brain paths that they always show in the Geass animation! :D

No, I seriously can't draw, I have no drawing skillz! It looks like I can manage with crafts, though--I paint dolls and can make little clay animals and carve pumpkins. ^_^

I LOVE your take on the neuronal paths/pumpkin guts aesthetic, that's too good! Thank you so much!

'Tis a beautiful pumpkin, bb. I am jealous of your pumpkin-carving talents.

It's easy to learn--I started with store-bought patterns and just worked with them for a few Halloweens!

That is awesome. I need to get inspired for my carving next week~ (though I doubt anything as amazing as Geass will be in order XD)

Ah, what the heck, do Geass! 'S not that hard! :D

That's so cool! I have to do that now~ xD

Thanks for sharing~ ^^

Thank you very much!

lol I was thinking of making Geass Pumpkins too!!
Maybe we should have a contest... >w>"

I made virtual ones for my iMac at uni though!! 8D

Make them, make them! And a contest would be a great idea! :D

Nice! If I ever tried to carve a pumpkin I think I would cut myself D:

It's good if you start with the little instruments they give you in those cheapo carving kits you find in the drugstores! Very little sharp stuff involved.

It was lots of fun! And not nearly as hard as some I've done (I've learned to be careful and work from inside to outside)!

Wow. Just, wow.
