Wow, that's an awesome compliment - thanks! For that I'll post my masterpiece for you:
I did this one in 2006. It took me about 23 hours to make the pattern and another 11 1/2 hours to carve it. I carved it nonstop starting around 11:30 at night or so. In all I made only 2-3 minor mistakes (this is like almost impossible). In truth, most of it was the most awesome 77 pound pumpkin - it was pretty much like carving on butter. The dragon itself is like 27 inches wide and like 14 inches tall if I remember correctly.
The detail in the face was insanely difficult to do. The original painting came from my favorite dragon artist, Ciruelo Cabral. This was his
Dark Dsurion.
