Halloween 2015 is just 2 weeks away and we at GBAtemp thought it would be fun to celebrate by partnering with 3DSGamerWorld.com to give away a brand new Supercard DSTWO+ edition flash card to 5 lucky winners!

To be in with a chance of winning we want you to get in to the Halloween spirit by carving a pumpkin! Simply take a photo of your finished pumpkin carving (which has to be gaming related) and upload it to this thread to enter the competition. The best 3 pumpkin carvings (selected by our staff) will each win a brand new SC DSTWO+ courtesy of 3DSGamerWorld.com

So get creative! Your carving, which must be a real effort - no Photoshops please; can be about anything gaming or GBAtemp related. We're not simply looking for the most skilled carving, we're looking for originality!

However, if you're not much of a pumpkin carver - don't worry, you can also enter this competition by leaving a reply to this thread as we will be raffling off the remaining 2 SC DSTWO+ cards to anyone who submits a reply.
Happy Halloween to all our members and good luck!

Never carved a pumpkin so I'll just try my luck with the raffle.

 

[WhoAmI?]

I'd do a punpkin but I'm terrible with knives :/

Here's my reply as an entry for one of the two extras.

 

[Cartmanuk]

Awesome idea I will have to give this a go. Any advice as I have never carved a pumpkin.

 

[QCLasky]

Lol, there's no single carved pumpkin in for the competition yet right?

What do you think about my pumpkin?

 

[IAmLeggings]

If you submit a pumpkin, but its not chosen, will you be put into the raffle for the remaining two? (just wondering, either way im submitting my pumpkin tonight, gotta get the lighting right)

Yeah most of the carving "knives" sold for it in the UK these last few years are junk -- they look a bit like those things some people stick in corn on the cob and are about as blunt. Personally I usually use a plasterboard jab saw/pad saw, though it is a bit large if you do not have a large pumpkin or want a really tight radius so a small hacksaw/junior hack saw blade might do for you as well. I did bust out the grinder and sharpen said junk knives for a giggle and it improved things, nowhere near the level of the good knives that they were replacing but a definite improvement. This year I got some wood carving knives from the local 99p shop which I am going to give a spin but I am mainly here to say those pumpkin carving knives/kits ( http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81z+Sj0nPML._SL1398_.jpg for example) I see in most places are junk. Other than that you will probably figure out what it is about fairly soon after starting -- pumpkin is a not a tough material so if you have a long point you have carved and have it act as a cantilever beam then you will probably snap it with relative ease, fortunately a gap toothed pumpkin is often the aesthetic people are going for.

If you submit a pumpkin, but its not chosen, will you be put into the raffle for the remaining two? (just wondering, either way im submitting my pumpkin tonight, gotta get the lighting right)

Right now it is one or the other ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/hallowee...ing-win-a-sc-dstwo.399925/page-4#post-5738025 ), however the former does not have many entries and you can influence it with skill. The other is 2/170 odds at least right now and there are still possibly 11 days to go.

Do remember to put your username in the picture, or another of the same pumpkin you want to get the best shot you can and another to qualify the entry.

Going to see if I can get a pumpkin now, awesome competition

What do you think about my pumpkin? [emoji14]

I don't like Ash, but apart of that it looks great

 

[porkiewpyne]

As much as I would love to carve a pumpkin, I do not have the luxury of time or skill. So raffle it is. At least then, I have a fighting chance LOL

 

[IAmLeggings]

Guess ill just enter the raffle for now, unfortunately the walls of my pumpkin were too thick and the light wasnt showing through :/.

 

[EntermateStar]

best ive ever been able to do was a triforce but i messed it up and had to staple the triangle back into it, it looked great with the lights off still but yeah, still no skill here -.-

 

[elmis003]

well here my entry

 

[theoperator288]

Wish I could carve something this year. I'll wish everyone a Happy Halloween, for the raffle.

 

[spinal_cord]

I wish I had the time and skill.... oh well.

 

[BastarB]

Haha, nice, what a fun competition! Good luck everyone!
