Code Geass Halloween Pumpkin

[amanuensis1]

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 ~

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

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

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!

Good heavens! That is BRILLIANT! Beautifully done.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

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

[elynis.livejournal.com]

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
