Halloween Pumpkin 2009

I didn't carve my Halloween pumpkin this year until the 31st!

This is the original screencap that I chose:

Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji




And this is how the pumpkin came out (unretouched photo!):





This is what I did with it to make the screencap a template, playing with the saturation and brightness in Photoshop:



Here's the finished pumpkin in normal light, without being lit from within:



And, again, the finished product.



I leveled up this year in pumpkin carving; this is the first time I've gone for pumpkin scraping in different levels of layers, without cutting all the way through anywhere. It was a trickier learning curve, but seeing the results, it's darned rewarding, and I'm going to keep at this technique.

OH MY GOD! This is amazing! Oh, I adore Sebastian!

HOW CAN YOU NOT. Ciel's sorry he didn't get a pumpkin, but I just didn't have time. (Of course, now pumpkins should be on sale...and I have more time next weekend...!)
