Congrats to the winners!

Last vote count, I was in 5th, but my goal was to make the top 25 so I'm still quite pleased.

Durka edit: I did Promathia. Smiley: smile

Congrads to the winners! The Tonberry took my breath away and stold my heart from the firt time I saw the entry. There were some very mamzing pumpkins again this year. It was fun carving a pumpkin even if I didn't make it into the top 25. There's always next year.

Congratulations Efiel on winning!Smiley: clap I must say, when I first saw the picture of yours I actually thought it was a 3D picture. You have to tell me how you did that shading trick. I might try something like that next year.

Thank you everyone that participated in the contest, As always it was a lot of funSmiley: yippee

Funny story about my pumpkin:
I still have not gotten a key-chain, so that was my ultimate goal. Unfortunately I miss read the rules... I thought it was the TOP ten entries that received key-chains instead it was the FIRST ten. Smiley: yikes

I was pretty close, being entry #13. It was only after I submitted my entry that I reread the rules. Smiley: banghead I spent 1 day planing and buying just the right pumpkin, and then 2 days (a total of 15 hours) working on that pumpkin. I was doing my hardest to make something worthy of making it to the top 10 spots, only to find out that if I just ran out, bought a pumpkin and carved something right away, that I might have been fast enough to get that elusive key-chain, LOL

BTW, Congratulations again to those speedy 10 carvers!

I chose to do the Shantotto expansion picture for its complexity. I felt I had to try even harder this year to out do my pumpkins from last year. I also love decorating my MH so I really wanted to work hard knowing the competition would be fierce in making it to at least the top 25.

A lot of people made remarks about my lack of originality. I will definitely be keeping than in mind the next time I try my hand at something like this.
Thanks everyone for both the helpful criticisms, the awesome reviews, and your vote!Smiley: bowdown

P.S.- While my mother does not play the game, she really likes the music. Winning the CD's will be great cause then I can share them with her. Thank you again Allakhazam.com and Square Enix for having this contest and donating the prizes!

Lots of good pumpkins this year!

Thankyou for the contest. I had a lot of fun ^_^ I must admit, I was really after the huge in game pumpkin XD but I was so excited when I actually placed!

I changed my idea a multitude of times before I finally went with Tales from the Cryptaru. I just laughed so hard when I read the story behind it that i felt it was fitting.

Congrats to first and second. That is some truly amazing work. ^_^

I agree! I would love to be able to check out who did which pumpkins for all the entries. Would be great to let anyone on Remora know they did a good job. lol

Oh wow... I thought the tonberry on the main page was an actual Tonberry art sketch, not a PUMPKIN.

That's amazing. Well done to all of you.
