Jack'o'Lavos
« 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!

Thought, how did you go about creating that image? Was that an already-existing image and you just made it black-and-white, or did you apply some Photoshop effect?

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

Pre-existing image: http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Lavos.html

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.

Bumping my own thread is rather distasteful, but given that this once again might be of interest to those of us with pumpkins in need of carving, I thought such appropriate.

Should be cool if you print it on your T-shirt.

That could be cool as a graffiti stencil.

I really want a stencil of the mammon machine.

Try this on for size:



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 was just mixing this exact thing up in a photoshop to post, but you beat me to it. Ha!

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

This greatly exceeds my traditional carving capacity of a smiling pumpkin with a triangle for a nose and only two teeth. =)
