Here's the final rendition for my annual 2014 WoW pumpkin carving! I thought it might be difficult to top my Cloud Serpent carving from last year, but I think he came out pretty nice!

Lord Darius Crowley became a more obvious choice when I realized had I chosen Greymane, he lacks the distinguishable features such as the eye patch. I figured Lord Crowley would be more easily recognizable to say the least.

It was an incredibly long and full 3 days of working fast on this beast, literally, but definitely worth it. My pumpkin is also currently on display at my partner's shop downtown, "Carsley's Comics", and apparently the reception towards it has been wonderful ^__^

Since I started pumpkin carving for the first time in 2009, it has become a personal tradition to carve each year, as well as to participate in the Blizzard Entertainment pumpkin carving contest.

This will be my sixth pumpkin! Onyxia was carved in 2009, Skoll in 2010, the Vial of Sands in 2011 the Shado-Pan Tiger in 2012. the Cloud Serpent in 2013 and wonderfully enough, all five made it up on the Honorable Mentions wall on the official Blizzard website!

EDIT: Turns out I received the best news last night!! While my partner was in the kitchen cooking, I jumped at the scream of my name XD I won the Blizzard Entertainment 2014 pumpkin carving contest!! Super excited since that's such a feat and I'm so thrilled people loved it this year! :'3

For some reason, there's some buggy mojo on the official website that placed it within the Honorable Mentions and the submission info isn't even written in it, unlike my others. But it's super duper to know it actually was a winner ^o^
