My husband is better at carving pumpkins than your husband. AW

AudgiePodge

His entry last year (top right) was one of 5 top winners for Blizzard's 2010 pumpkin carving contest.  The other 2 are his entries for this year.

Wow, your husband is cool. Does he just free hand those? Or does he have some type of pattern/draw a picture and carve it on afterwards?

Amazing!

AudgiePodge

How he explained it on a post:

I tape a printout of a black and white image to the pumpkin then I poke little holes along all of the major lines, rip off the paper and trace it with pen, so that it looks like this:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7554664/earlytrace.jpgThen I sit the original picture next to me and I start by carving out the brightest parts (all the way through), and go up from there to the shallowest/thinest lines.I do all of that in the light. Once I have everything done, I take it into a dark room and put my LED lantern inside and then I refine everything in the dark. I bring out my phone and look through the camera very often, because the way the camera captures the image is a little bit different than the way I see it. So I use that to do some checks for relative contrast. I thin the inside out more if needed (this pumpkin was way too thick so no light was coming through at first), and I make lines deeper if you can't see them as well.

So cool, Mr. Audgie!

Wow, Audgie. I'm just excited to be able to carve a triangle and not make it crazy lopsdided. That's awesome!

Goodness! He is good.  How long does it take him to do this?

And I thought my Boo from mario and FIs one-up mushroom was cool! HAHA.  They are totally still BA, but don't look pro at all.

desertsun

Um, that is fvcking amazing!

AND he has a big peen?

Good thing you pulled out the big guns with all the bjs and anal and got him good and trapped.

Those are amazing! How long does it take him to carve a pumpkin like that?

AudgiePodge

<div>The top left one took about 7 hours.  I only really remember how long it took that one because it's the most recent one, but I believe the other took about the same amount of time also.</div><div>

Badass!

This made me think of something I saw earlier today about ridiculously amazing pumpkin carving (clicky).

AudgiePodge

Liv- That is a sweet story.

Anne- Those pumpkins are awesome!

Wow - he sure is thorough on those pumpkins!  I hope he's AS thorough in the bedroom with his large peen.

God Audgie,  way to point out you have a husband and the rest of us don't.

I'm a show off. 

thelamarrs

Without a doubt...

That's so awesome though! Is he an artist or is pumpkin carving his hobby?

peekaboo2011

Well hot damn.

Good dexterity AND a big peen?  You really do have it all, don't you Audge?

Peaseblossom55

wow those are amazing!

kaitlynmichelle

Well I'm jealous.  I can't carve a pumpkin at all, they always look like crap when I'm done with them.  

Congrats to Mr. Audgie on his skills, both in carving and in the bedroom.  :P

Woah!
