I like making Jackolanterns at Halloween.
2019
Just a bat in a tree.
2018
The Shapeshifting Master of Darkness vs. A Foolish Samurai Warrior (Samurai Jack)
2017
Canada Goose
2016
A scene from X-Files opening. I tried a wacky manual HDR kind of thing.
2015
Vortex Queen from Ecco the Dolphin.
2014
Violent depiction of ‘NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!’ from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
2013
Super Metroid opening scene.
2012
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, shot from end of season 1 opening.
2011
Depiction of the final scene of Aliens where Ripley gets in a power loader to fight the queen. This was a wide design, but split into two non-wide designs. Here are pictures of each design, and an attempt to capture both.
2010
Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night.
2009
Cyborg pumpkin. The microphone (pumpkin’s left ear) allowed us to hear trick-or-treaters from afar, the webcam (pumpkin’s right eye) to see them, and the speaker (mouth) allowed us to speak to them in a robot voice.
2008
StarCraft Zerg victory background. This was a pretty wide design, and I just wrapped it onto the pumpkin. I didn’t know what the consequences would be. It was hard to see the whole thing at once, let alone take a picture of it.
2007
Final scene from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
2006
Autobots symbol, from Transformers.
2005
Neo, from The Matrix.
2004
Einstein. Before making this I looked at the internet and saw pumpkins with the top layer of skin taken off as well as whole cuts, allowing multiple tones and different topology, so I tried it.
2003
Skeletal chicken playing bassoon.
2002
Inspired by the last boss of Final Fantasy 6. The thing at the left is a burning skeleton, the thing in the middle is a standard ghost, and the thing at the right is some kind of demon with wings. The ghost’s and skeleton’s tails are connected, and the ghost is barfing out the demon.
2001
Another burning face. The pumpkin on the right is my brother’s and the one of the left is my mom’s, or possibly an aunt’s (it’s a bat, not a face).
2000
Cross between something on a Diablo (the video game) box and the Grim Reaper.
1999
Burning face. Anything I made before this was just a take on the standard 3 triangle and mouth with square teeth pumpkin.
