Step 1: Step 1: Choose your image.

In this case, I chose an interesting image of Christian Bale as The Dark Knight. It is important to pick an image that has enough contrast to allow for good light/shadow interplay. For Batman, the light playing off his armor provides some excellent (but challenging) details that I thought would show up amazingly well on my pumpkin. His strong stance and look in general also makes for a great presence when lit.

"Simple Enough!"

Are you kidding me? THIS IS EPIC. I wish I could carve pumpkins as cool as yours. I guess I'll just have to stick with the old classic pumpkin face...
