Some of you might remember this pumpkin I carved last year. Well this year I did it bigger and better.

Realistically 2-3 hours not including drawing it out by hand. But I was smoking off my hangover so it felt like 6 hours

Thanks. It wasn't the hangover it was the smoking part that slowed it down Haha. I used just some cheap pumpkin knives and a razor blade to peel skin off for the 3d look. I drew it on with an ink pen just looking at the album itself

Great job on that! 2-3 hours too? Seems like you were on the ball. Hope there's somebody tonight who knows what it is, but it's so well crafted that you don't have to be a fan to appreciate it.

The S/T artwork has always been my favorite of their albums. To me, it concisely illustrates how the band is seamlessly both dark and beautiful. The quality of the pumpkin, the S/T art... I'm gonna have to save that image, I'm impressed.

Haha thanks. I was really hoping KNYs album cover would be something I could put on the pumpkin but that didn't happen for obvious reasons. I thought about doing a second one but copy the pumpkin from the change music video and have them side by side. I doubt anyone will recognize it. It's a small town and not a lot of people here know about deftones.

I was wanting to do carve a pumpkin like the one from the change video, but it looked pretty sloppy. :(
