ReplyDeleteWow, I beat a notorious trolling first-er with a relevant comment!!
ReplyDeleteEvery time someone says OMG IM DOING SUCH AND SUCH like 14 more people are going to do it
ReplyDeleteI think Luna's cutie mark is inconspicuous enough for me to carve into a pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteWow, that pumpkin in the example pic up above is pretty intimidating.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with one of Twilight's manic faces, so that when I mangled it, it would still be kind of accurate.

ReplyDeletehmm that trollface is actually a good idea... ....shoot
@Discord Stop arguing and posting giant ASCII pictures.
ReplyDeleteYay perfect opportunity for a bonding activity with the boyfriend :D
ReplyDeleteWhat the hay. That artist, ceemdee, who carved that pumpkin, did an amazing job. Look at RD's hair! She cut layers into it to make it seem like different shades of orange! This is amazing! All of her pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteAARRGH!
The picture made me think of a Virtual Boy.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean I'm a geek?
One star? *loads cupcake launcer* SOME PONY IS GOING TO PAY! GOOD SIR!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, the pumpkin in the image in unbeatable. Mine always look like I punched them.
ReplyDelete@Videogame9
ReplyDeletesory used wrong image
So, Seth, you want us to use a knive, hacksaw, whatever to carve Rainbow Dash into a pumpkin and tear out its insides to make a pastry? Then take a picture of it and declare it a masterpiece work of art??

correct image...
Whoa, that pumpkin up there is unbelievably awesome! Who doesn't want a pony pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteSomeone make Michael Myers pony, stat!
ReplyDelete.....then take off the head, shove the candle inside, and let it burn it inside-out through holes that we cut into Rainbow Dash's body?
ReplyDelete"Much more simpler?" Oh Seth, you and your ways with posting :D
ReplyDeleteHey there. Hope this gets read. A few video game sites did something similar to this last year, and there was a TON of fighting because some pumpkins were actually fully carved, while others used ink stencil for some or all of the work. You may want to look into the different techniques, and make a decision if they're acceptable for the contest.
ReplyDeleteI will love it if somepony could do a bunch of stencils or such so us non-talented bronies can carve Rainbow Dash on our pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteFor anypony who has one, Hobby Lobby has durable, foam-like pumpkins made just for carving without half the mess, the smell or the disposal.
ReplyDeleteMeaning, your pumpkin carved this year, can also be next years.
I'd advise against using a candle inside, just because it's reusable, unless you put a tray or something to catch the wax.
It's also light and might get blown over in a strong enough wind.
@IIiime are you using an equestria daily post for free advertisement?
ReplyDeleteFix your grammar in the description Seth, "more simpler" sounds like something a 5 year old would say...
ReplyDelete@IIiime
ReplyDelete3 minutes after i read
"It's also light and might get blown over in a strong enough wind"
one of the storm windows blew out of my house -.- i say we burn you at the stake
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteI'm using a store that I've been to maybe five times in as many years as a source for fake pumpkins to use in the event in place of real ones that can't be reused. It's not like I go to every store in existence and check who has fake pumpkins and who doesn't. I just happened to see them when I went for clay last month.
And aside from one Target while looking just for the Canterlot display, it's the only store I've been to in the last month.
They may have them at Joann, they may have them at Michael's. I'm not going to go and say they do when I haven't been there.
@Discord
Once again, you show your immaturity.
Someone showed me the pic of that pumpkin earlier today. So awesome. <3
ReplyDeleteFun event. I haven't carved a pumpkin for at least a few years now. Probably been longer. Not sure if I'll enter or not. I'm not too great at it, plus I've been strapped for time. But we'll see.
I was already contemplating carving a pony face into a pumpkin, now you really make me want to.
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like my parents are gonna find out what my favorite show is nowadays this Halloween.
Mom: What is that?
Me: A pony!(yes i will say it enthusiastically, i am silly like that.) to be specific, its Rainbow Dash.
Mom: Why?
Me: Rainbow Dash is the best! Thats why.
Mom: *Blink Blink* ...Ooooooookay then.
@IIiime
ReplyDeleteI have around 5 excuses i could come up with for my immaturity, but i agree with you i am immature and i will be for along time.
ponys pumpkins and meme pumpkins YEAH
ReplyDelete@Discord
ReplyDeleteImmaturity is the best, why would one want to grow out of it?
I was also listing Hobby Lobby in specific because they also tend to have a 40% off coupon for any one item every other week.
ReplyDelete@Greenf0x
You'll need to add coloured cellophane for her mane. That, or line it with coloured lights. Then you'll have the most colourful pumpkin that's *Insert Rainbow Dash catchphrase here*.
@Discord
Your form of immaturity doesn't come with an acceptable excuse.
@Greenf0x
ReplyDeletebecause it can lead to what happened above...
...you guys do wait for it -.-
ReplyDeleteI already had a pony pumpkin when this came up. I'm so happy!
ReplyDeletei feel horrible... slandering the name of the one i yearn to be
ReplyDeleteAlready finished a Applejack one!!!!
ReplyDeletebut does it have to be carved D: cause my art teacher didnt let me carve it because they are gunnna put them in the main office, and they dont want them to rot...
That pumpkin has already won me thinks. lol
ReplyDeleteI did Golem once, worst 4 hours I've spent carving a pumpkin. After that, I just stick with the traditional evil faced ones.
Besides, it's not worth spending that kind of time on something that is just going to rot away within a week or so.
It's a shame that Australia doesn't celebrate Halloween, the whole atmosphere resenting from this is amazing :(
ReplyDeleteSeth, I implore you, please extend the deadline by a measly day. I'll be out of town until the 30th, so I won't get a chance to carve until the night before Halloween.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I've got a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSee y'all on the 29th.
Going to start carving my first pumpkin tonight. Had an idea in the pipeline for about a month.
ReplyDeleteI really hope I don't screw it up.
That pumpkin on the header is all kinds of awesome
If only there were good pumpkins in my area. Spain is not the hub of pumpkins in the World, you know?
ReplyDeleteHell yeah. I love October for exactly this kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I have three pumpkins in mind for carving into pony images, but there is no way I can come close to competing with that one. Whoever made the pumpkin in that pic is a real artist.
ReplyDeleteHoly.......that thing is REAL?
ReplyDelete@archiveit
yea, its kind of like going "Okay, EQD readers we're doing a make-your-own plushie event!"...
then for the announcement page photo, Seth posts a life-size robotic Fluttershy plushie....with fully working eyes.....and facial expressions....that can also walk, talk, and hug.
like, fuck, how's a brotha supposed to compete wit dat lol
I would, but I'm really bad at carving pumpkins. :C
ReplyDeleteThis carving is so cool and inspirational... I just wish that every time I try to carve a pumpkin, I didnt either carve too much or accidently hurt myself. For a crafter, I am such a clutz
ReplyDeleteI just finished a Derpy Hooves pumpkin lol
ReplyDeletePOOP
ReplyDeleteI just missed the deadline :(
