Trapped! 2021
I stared at this pumpkin for a couple of hours before this idea materialized. The face was first sculpted on the rear of the pumpkin and then cut out in an oval shape. That determined the size of the "broken" hole. With some trimming of the face and enlargement of its hole in the rear, I was able to push it inside and against the wall. It was pinned in place with some shortened bamboo skewers.

Skull 2021
I couldn't believe my luck when we discovered a skull-shaped pumpkin just two days prior to Halloween. It made sculpting much easier. It's reasonably accurate compared to an actual skull, although the eyes are somewhat stylized. The jaw area was thinner than I expected; the left side had to be pinned with a couple of toothpicks.

Bite Me 2020
Our pumpkin sculpting party did not happen due to the COVID virus, so this vampire is it for 2020. I tried to make the tongue seem to curl over and it works pretty well, but it's sculpted from material above rather than from behind the lower teeth.

Skull Crucifixion - 2019
This one was displayed in a church. Donated to support the Northhaven senior living center, the auction winner decided on a half skull with a rocky, mountainous surface on the other half. I was supposed to carve three crosses of the Crucifixion, but that was too difficult with pumpkin flesh.

Skull Crucifixion - 2019 final day
This photo was sent by the owner of the pumpkin after it was displayed in the church for two weeks, and just before she finally disposed of it.

Hoplite Warrior - 2019
I had wanted to do a Greek hoplite warrior for some time. A face within the helmet was challenging, but being only a partial face simplified it somewhat. I tried to attach the crest (from another pumpkin) with bamboo skewers, but finally just used lots of super glue. I would have liked to have added decorative "metalwork" on the helmet but I was running out of time.

Eagle 2019
First one of 2019 and a good choice to start, it was chosen because it had a massive curved stalk that resembled a beak. Forming the beak was hard work using a coarse drywall saw, a heavy rasp, and lots of elbow grease. After the eyes were done I spent an hour detailing feathers with a scalpel.

Grumpy 2018
Originally a quite ordinary pumpkin, turning it on its side and cutting a bottom flat provided a more interesting shape. Reminds me of those "You kids get off of my lawn!" types.

Angry Chimp - 2018
This angry ape is based on an online image. Note the location of the pumpkin's stalk. By turning the pumpkin on its side I was able to take advantage of a bulge that formed the jaws. That made it unstable, but by cutting three curved grooves on the new "bottom" it was stable on the lip of a bucket.
