All gourds must be carved. Blizzard’s pumpkin carving contest is up and running. Deface your pumpkin in the fine Blizz tradition to win gaming gear and endless internet fame. More importantly, you’ll probably get a picture of your hideous orange abomination up on Blizzard’s website without them doing a real thorough check on what that Night Elf’s other hand is up to under the Tauren’s armor. Also, check out the page of previous winners for good ideas to steal. Battle.net has the story.
I do like the Overlord pumpkin, mostly because it uses the whole shape of the thing rather than playing canvas to some scene one could better render on a flat surface. A pumpkin is not a painting! It’s the skull of a waning harvest god. C’mon, people…
The winners from this year were amazing. I’m really impressed by some of the entries, although it does seem like Blizzard likes zerg pumpkins… Or maybe zerg just make better halloween subjects.
