It& #39;s October, which means I want to share my old pumpkin carvings https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎃" title="Halloweenkürbis" aria-label="Emoji: Halloweenkürbis">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍬" title="Bonbon" aria-label="Emoji: Bonbon">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍂" title="Gefallenes Blatt" aria-label="Emoji: Gefallenes Blatt">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
Once upon a time, for 13 years, I ran an Avatar: The Last Airbender-themed pumpkin carving contest. The site& #39;s still up, and has nearly 200 wonderfully charming and creative carvings of all your favorite characters.

But I, personally, hadn& #39;t carved pumpkins before when I started it. But it& #39;s kind of like drawing, so I learned. A tutorial showed how to do shading, and I was hooked.

These are of Aang, from 2006, 2005, and 2007.
In 2010 I did this little R2-D2 on a mini-pumpkin.
In 2011 I had an especially good pumpkin, and carved both Vash (from Trigun) and Korra & Naga (from The Legend of Korra) on it.
In 2012 I made Hawkeye and Black Widow from The Avengers, and in 2014 did Aang & Korra for the 10-year anniversary.
In 2015 I made this Metroid carving based on an old decal.
And that& #39;s it! Thanks for looking! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
Carving pumpkins can be time consuming, but it& #39;s fun too. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎃" title="Halloweenkürbis" aria-label="Emoji: Halloweenkürbis">
