Do You Believe in the Great Pumpkin?

So, I figured the pumpkin carving wouldn't happen tonight. We did eat some delicious chili however...

Here's some doodles and my really ruff design for the pumpkin I want to carve:

Searching pumpkin designs online really opened my eyes to the possibilities!

The Death Star looks sweet, but the directions say it takes between 8-10 hours, so I think I'll stick with Aku...

I never even thought of the 3 tone design before. I have a pretty decent wood carving set so I might have to give the technique a try.
