They are all really well done.
but my knowledge tells me that xandaris13 used PS.
Still decent editin in ps tho.
Assuming I'm correct and your using PS to refer to Photoshop, then you would be guessing that I photoshoped my pumpkin rather than actually carving it? If this is the case then I wish I could use Photoshop that well, but my artistic skills don't go that far.
I did use Photoshop to trace over the original image I intended to carve and make a mock-up in the appropriate colors before I started carving. This allowed me to experiment with which areas would and wouldn't be carved out before I started carving and would be unable to change my mind. I've included pictures below of the original image, my mock-up, the original drawing on the pumpkin, as well as the carved pumpkin unlit.
All my pumpkins were carved using the above method and I can only take credit for my patience in the transferring and carving of the original source images.
Thank you again to everyone who commented on my work.
