Eye breaking through a Pumpkin

This is what I entered in my school's pumpkin carving contest... I drew up a preliminary piece in my sketchbook... but I don't have access to a scanner right now. It only varies slightly...

But, yeah. This is it. 2 ft tall. Carved in almost 3 hours exactly--including transfer of the design. It's 3-D relief about an inch and a half deep and tinted with some Dr. Martin concentrated water color for added effect--really made it stand out.

And as not to be a whiney bitch, I've deleted my whole big rant about my school and their crappy prizes. Sometimes life is good.. sometimes it's not. But, oh, well. I was afforded the oppurtunity to create what I created. And I like the result.. My only regret is that this couldn't be something that I could still have around today. Oh, well.

At least I've got the pictures to remember it by.
