Description Bleeergh.... I'll edit the description later. I dun feel so gud. Erm... enjoy?

{Edited} (OK, so it took me longer than I thought to get around to it... >.>)

I was planning on carving a Metroid theme into my pumpkin this year, then I just so happened to see these green (blue?) pumpkins at our local pumpkin stand and just had to get one. Let me tell you though, these things are tough! It really took a lot out of me to carve it... and it's a relatively simple design! But it was worth it.

I drew the metroid on with washable markers before carving, just to get the design down. I wiped the marker off but didn't completely wash it, leaving some darker green and some red to enhance it's metroidiness. It took about three hours all in all, I'd say.
{Edit 2} I forgot to mention the fangs/pincers... they're just pumpkin stems I found lying around at the place I got the pumpkin.

Thanks for all the faves and comments, it really makes the extra effort worth it.

Thanks!! I actually didn't use paint though. I was really just drawing the outline of where I'd cut using appropriately colored markers, then the markers smudged when I cut it. XD I did add more after that, but only the red part.
And thanks for the comment. ^_^

Well, don't tell anyone that...it looks nice that way, so just tell people it was intentional. 8D

I explained everything but the fact that keeping the color was unintentional.

Eh? Dawbs? But no, no paint. Just a faint bit of marker. The rest of the pumpkin really was green.
