Joey's 2015 Jack-o-Lantern Thread!

It's back again, like the changing of the leaves, and all that other fall stuff that doesn't really happen in California~
And I forgot to post the end of last year's pumpkin carving! Halloween was on a Friday last year so it got kind of intense the two weekends surrounding it, and I think I had a post carving crash or something. So before I get to this year's carvings I shall post all of those!
At some point I was inspired to do a trio of video game pumpkins, starting with the Lorule Crest from A Link Between Worlds. I remember there being a lot of hassle with this one: stuff falling off, rotting in the back, dropping it, etc. I still made it look good though.
Then I did Luigi's Death Stare from Mario Kart 8, because it is hilarious. Not my pattern, still makes me laugh a year later.
And then I carved my weirdest pokemon pumpkin yet, a Helix Fossil in honor of Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Then came the Portal theme, which I had originally planned to do in 2013 but never got around to after I burned myself out on Majora's Mask.
Portal Dude #1
And Portal Dude #2! Dyed the shaded parts blue in this one, a neat effect that totally does not work in the pictures. Believe me it was awesome though.
Weighted Companion Pumpkin :D Not my pattern.
Aperture Science Logo, also not my pattern.
GLaDOS, because no theme is complete without a crazy difficult pumpkin :D It's my new favorite. Go bask in the glory of the full sized image: http://johwee.deviantart.com/art/GLaDOS ... -492985397
The cake is, of course, a lie. (Also not my pattern.)
And one more to round it all off! Not my pattern again.
So that summed up the end of last year. This year I've gotten off to a bit of a rough start because my schedule at works sucks and I haven't had a lot of time to sit and carve. I've knocked out 4 so far though!
Arrr it be the annual pirate pattern! From the book of patterns that came with the dremel drill.
Arcanine, my second favorite Gen 1 pokemon which for some reason I'd never carved until now!
Got my haunted house out of the way early, this pattern from Orange and Black pumpkins.
And a cool witch pumpkin from Zombie Pumpkins, because I wanted to!
I'm actually going to be out of town on Halloween this year, so I'm not going to do a theme. Instead I have plans to do at least 3 sets of pumpkins based on the video games I've been obsessed with this past year :D And they're all stupid crazy designs but if I pull it off it will be awesome :D
And your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to kick me in the butt to make sure I post all of them before next year!
