Title: Jack'o'Lavos
Post by: Thought on October 28, 2009, 02:10:13 am: This might properly go under the fanart section, but it isn't particularly art.

Anywho, with Halloween about people are decorating their pumpkins. Why not add a little Lavos to your holiday celebrations, with this Halloween Pumpkin Design. Just print it out, pit it on a pumpkin, and cut out the black sections. In no time you'll have something that, after three beers, will look like Lavos erupting from the earth!

It occurs to me that people might be interested in a Frozen Flame pumpkin or a Mammon Machine pumpkin.

I adjusted the threshold to attempt to get the highlights, cleaned it up a bit with a pencil tool, inverted the image, and uploaded. If I had time, I'd love to do others, but alas, I don't. I actually tried doing an Epoch first... that didn't go over well.

I really want a stencil of the mammon machine.

Unfortunately, a simple cut out doesn't work as well for the FF, but if you are capable of sculpting a pumpkin (which I am not), then this might be more useful:

If it's a dark grey, leave more of the flesh, if it is a lighter grey, take away more.

I can see the black and white not working as well though, so I think I shall take my time in carving Lavos instead.
