Dry pumpkins usually make the meat either stringy or mushy - both are bad. But it does open up skin textures that are ONLY possible on a dry pumpkins.
Example- no chance these leaves hang like this on a juicy pumpkin. They'd be invisible, going back in their groove.

Any Venom fans out there?
Here's a "Showtime Action Shot" of Venom. He was a hit.
The black slime off his back was painted darker.

The 2nd of 5 pumpkins from 2018.
Any Predator fans out there?
This ultra-dry pumpkin gave me a texture palette that included
- hanging leaves,
- glowing dreds, and
- Really cool options for his 3D head weathering.

Today we're looking at 5 pumpkins from 2018.
Starting off, Mickey Sorcerer, just before his master Wizard wakes up. Things are looking grim.
Some in my family think this is my best carve.

A comment like that gets another carve!
One of my favs, from 2018 - also from Fantasia.
#PumpkinCarvingFriday #disney #mickey
A few other Chernabogs over the years, including one of my first good carves from 2008, Mickey throwin down.
2nd up, one from 2016 where there are some fairies that would like a word w/the Manager.
The roundness of the pumpkin make his wings seem a bit skewed.

Where the Wild Things Are!
W/35 hours from 2010. It was a massive hit, proportional to the pain in my shoulder from always holding while carving it!
Happy Friday - enjoy!

A Face Hugger, also 2024 edition.
Yet again this took a moment to carve. The magic trick was making the top go outward!
Sooo many people had to look inside.

An old video of the carve.
My shoulder says, "Never again!". I had to hold the pumpkin at all times while carving so as not to mess up the back carving.

Where the Wild Things Are?
One of my son's favorite books growing up!
Me from 2009 - a 360 degree carve of that scene.
35 hours and one shoulder later.

I love the slight changes in the masks over time.
Me from 2015.
I went with the grunge, endof movie look.
