My Legend of Zelda Jack-O-Lanterns

Well, I haven't managed to find my memory card with my Jak and Daxter ones, but as the title of this post says I have some new Zelda-themed pumpkin carvings to show off. I did two new Jack-O-Lanterns this year based around a couple of the main characters from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (one of my favorite Gamecube games) and it's sequel The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (probably my favorite DS game). I have one of Link's face and one of Tetra's face and I'm happy with how they both came out. Well, here are some pictures of the finished works (again captions refer to the picture above them).

I actually did them on Halloween night and here it is two days later and they're kind of a mess already. This is how it is with these type of carvings though. Tetra was a bit tough at times and due to her hair continuing down on either side of her face, after one day I had to start using a fork to prop up her face so it didn't just fall into the pumpkin. Her little curly hair thing at the top started falling down a day later, too. Also, since I started doing my own designs, I don't think I ever popped out a piece as big as Link's hair. That fact combined with some silly decisions I made on what parts to cut first (not sure what I was thinking) made it rather hard to cut out his hair without breaking another part (though luckily I didn't break anything). In the end, they both came out well without any mistakes. It's really satisfying that first night when you see your creations come together even if it is a bit sad to see them kind of fall apart the next few days. But I got plenty of good pictures, so, I'll always have them to remember my carvings with. Anyway, I hope you liked them and hopefully I'll be back on here with more at some point in the future.
