Halloween is one of the best holidays, second only to Christmas. I get to dress up in costumes that are completely geek related. This year I even got to make the costumes which made it that much better. But another thing that is awesome about this holiday is pumpkin carving. I have done some cool stuff in the past, but this year I wanted to try a new technique.
Mr Dremel to the rescue! Last year I used clay carving tools to carve out and do different depths in the pumpkin hide. While it wasn't too bad, I wanted to try my trusty old dremel with the small router attachment.

First thing you need is all the materials and tools. Pumpkin, spoon, knife, marker and Dremel w/ router bit and attachment are obvious, but other things that I used were an Exacto Knife, Modeling Pin Tool, and Clay Loop tools of various sizes.
So I went on the net and found an image of Mega Man that I liked, and could easily cut out the head in photoshop. Turned black and white, then printed.

I like to check out how my shading is looking as i go, usually I just shine a lamp in or hold the pumpkin up to a light. I find that it helps me get an even tone in my shading areas and hopefully avoid a collapse, but not always haha!
This halloween, all I did was carve a :D face, but like a normal face way.
Like up and down. Not side to side.
+5/5 stars.
