Bugplayer 720 October 6, 2013 Share October 6, 2013 (edited) Hello there! I'll just copy/paste this from my deviant art, I'm starving So yeah! This is my first try at carving. This took me hum.... 6 Hours? X.x (WHAT?! SIX HOURS?!) Well yes!! It doesn't seems like it, but Pumpkins carving takes a looong time, because, there's no ''undo button", which isn't is the case with Photoshop. If you make a mistake, well, you gotta deal with it. Also, I took black carbon paper to tranfer the drawing, NEVER USE BLACK. Since the pumpkin skin can be compared to wax, the carbon paper doesn't quite print very well on it. On the other hand, I bought a second one, in case I screw everything on the first one, which surprisely wasn't the case. So I may consider doing a second one... maybe... Anyways, there it is: Source: http://bugplayer.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Pony-Fluttershy-pumpkin-carving-405625200 I probably should have made the skin a little brighter though, personal opinion Note: Just changed the image, for quality purposes ^.^ Edited October 6, 2013 by Bugplayer 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbrony 16,052 October 6, 2013 Share October 6, 2013 (edited) Oh my goodness Bugsy, this Fluttershy pumpkin carving is simply seasonably sensational!!! In the spirit of Pinkie Pie, I'm going to go make up a word and say that this piece of art is simply pumpkerriffic!!! Thanks very much for getting in the spirit of the season and sharing some holiday-appropriate artwork on the forums!

Armchair Adventurer 211 October 6, 2013 Share October 6, 2013 (edited) This looks really awesome ! Great job. If people celebrated Halloween in my country I would surely try to make something like this as well (inspired by you of course ) to have some great decorations. I'd try to make one with Princess Luna on it though, just to stay in the spirit of Nightmare Night. And Rainbow Dash because... umm... TO MAKE EVERYTHING 20% COOLER !

Candy Blaze 119 October 6, 2013 Share October 6, 2013 (edited) Wow how did you make this? I wish I could make one with Pinkamena on it. Don't judge me. It's for the sake of Halloween. And maybe one with a shadowbolt and one with Princess Luna or Nightmare Moon. Seriously hob did you make this? What supplies did you use?

And maybe one with a shadowbolt and one with Princess Luna or Nightmare Moon. Seriously hob did you make this? What supplies did you use? I used an stone carving knife Reference here: https://www.google.ca/search?q=stone+carving+knife&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=g-RRUuKiKM3YyQGg3IHAAw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=955&dpr=1#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=bQbZngPv-tdMoM%3A%3BDMYe5EkAKBtyOM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi01.i.aliimg.com%252Fwsphoto%252Fv2%252F868007391_1%252FFreeshipping-10pcs-Hobby-font-b-Rocks-b-font-Stone-Cut-Knife-Set-Graver-Burin-font-b.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.aliexpress.com%252Fpopular%252Frock-carving-tools.html%3B1000%3B750 Whoa, that is what I call a long link... Anyways... That what I used. Though, it's personal preferences. It's because, since it's used for stones, it doesn't lose it's sharpness on a silly pumpkin Anything similar will work. Also, I used carbon paper to transfer what you want to draw. I fixed it behind a black outlined picture of Fluttershy I printed on a white sheet. And preferably, a pumpkin. And LOTS of patience is also recommended ^.^ Just carve the brightest parts first. And remember, the more you dig in the fruit, the more bright it will be I would also recommend to try your tools a little bit on the back, like I did, to see how the spoken tools feels Hehe... Spoken... Spooky.. Edited October 6, 2013 by Bugplayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart's Desire 181 October 7, 2013 Share October 7, 2013 That is BEAUTIFUL! Bonus points for it being Fluttershy I was thinking of doing the elements of harmony though I suppose I'd be spending the majority of my pumpkin budget on that. I'm nowhere near as good as you, though. I haven't gotten the hang of shaving it for the extra detail. Amazing work! 2 "Madam, life without you is like a broken pencil.
