To kick off the holidays I've been working on some stuff for Halloween! First off here's some really rough lineart for one of my yard decorations. I'm going to make the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion this year!

Next I'm WAY ahead of the game on pumpkin carving! I've decided to go artificial this year, I hate seeing all my hard work rot away a couple days later on the real thing. :( The artificial pumpkins are shockingly not the much different from the real thing. They're a styrofoam so it's much cleaner, but other than that I really didn't have to change my technique much! I'd argue they may even be easier, there's not as much to cut away!

Here he is lit up. The light I bought changes color, so I manged to capture it on Orange. I think I need something better though.

And here's a Pluto I carved last year in a real pumpkin. I'm actually shocked at how different they look! To be fair I used slightly different lineart, but I still think I got much cleaner lines this year and better contrast when its lit up. I guess I have actually improved a little! :P

Thanks for looking! :) There will be plenty more to come over the next few months! After my ghost, if I have time, I think I might try and do another artificial pumpkin, with ponies this time of course! ;)
