Hi guys,
this obviously isn't an official contest, but still. It is the brainchild of Hammer.Horror and I. The goal will be to create a pumpkin. You can end it there, or you can make the pumpkin an integral part of a scene.
Some examples of what I mean would be:

Be creative!

This ends on Halloween night, and the winner will get a badge-type thing to put in there post signature. Just for fun.

Ok, so post any WIP's in this thread, if you please!

Good Luck!

P.S. The winner will be determined by a vote

add a MI_exposure to your cam and the change the framebuffer settings like in that tutorial and set the gamma to 1 in the MI_exposure, it makes the colors very vivid. anyway, nice challenge. i might join

Geez, honestly I am surprised so few people made pumpkins, considering they don't exactly take all that much time out of your day to make.

Oh well, here is mine.
