Happy Friday the 13th, Pixelation! It's October, and as every young candy lover knows, at the end of this month lies that wonderful festivity of tooth decay known as Halloween! Of course, Halloween isn't all about rotting teeth; it's also about scaring young children, drinking hot apple cider, and, of course, making Jack-o-Lanterns. So what better way to celebrate Halloween here than to make some Jack-o-Lanterns of our own? Just color one of the templates below (or use your own outline) by Halloween, and this will be the spookiest thread on all of Pixelation. Extra bonus points for animations. Happy Pixelling!

Raw, i don't actually celebrate halloween but have a jack-o-lantern anyway.

nothing special, I'll do a more creative one later(i just wanted to be first in)

Heh, great lineart. I'll show my jack-o-lantern before all the great ones come ^^

Larwick · « **Reply #3 on:** October 14, 2006, 07:19:21 pm »

Fil, fantastic colour choice.

These are really nice templates, but i think i'll make my own. Not right now though..

1st post here, might just as well contribute while I'm at it

Cool style there fil ...

Godslayer · « **Reply #7 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:16:07 pm »

Specular, equinoxx. But its not a jakolantern, its a pumpkin, where are its features?

eqko · « **Reply #8 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:19:05 pm »

see you not his eyes and mouth ? those white circles are his features

the whiteouts are where you're seeing the burning inferno inside

and did you actually meant to say specular (as in fake relection highlights) or spectacular

yours rocks anyways, somehow the mouth gives me a V for Vendetta feel

Alex · « **Reply #9 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:27:50 pm »

you need to define the features of the lantern eq. right now, it just looks like white orbs. They need to have depth of some sort. and the positioning of the features are also poorly thought out. even if they are all fleshed out and made to look like holes, it would look like.....3 random holes. i advise you to take another look at your piece and work it around a little more.

eqko · « **Reply #10 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:35:53 pm »

I might do another one with the same base and work from there, as for the 'random' holes. there actually IS some thought in there,
but I guess you'd have to know my minimen to understand where the design is coming from

fil_razorback · « **Reply #11 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:39:07 pm »

I've just added a lantern to mine :

ZoSo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:59:58 pm »

Added two to my set, i know the big one suck

I'm aware it's not too good right now, I'm trying to work on colors and shading...then I'm going to put the light inside it.
Godslayer makes me sad.

Pretty tone and texture Godslayer!!

I'd like to post all the pumpkins I did today, but my file host is down (blizzard in Buffalo, if you've been following that).

Now thats a scary pumpkin xD.

robalan · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2006, 12:54:21 pm »

That pumpkin looks suspiciously like my avatar

Which is amusing, because I suck at pixelling and had not done any for about a year and a half before making that avatar

Nice pumpkins, everyone. Godslayer, I like the avatar. Quite cool.

eqko · « **Reply #19 on:** October 15, 2006, 02:04:02 pm »

a more traditional jack-o in the colors of the pixelationforum header
so don't comment on it needing more contrast, anything else is good to hear

snake · « **Reply #20 on:** October 15, 2006, 07:14:02 pm »

Don't celebrate Halloween. The activity seems fun though.

Liking the entries so far.

ZoSo · « **Reply #21 on:** October 15, 2006, 07:15:03 pm »

Wow, the lighting on the ground is awesome, and as well is your pumpkins features..

JWW · « **Reply #22 on:** October 15, 2006, 07:41:40 pm »

damn snake im in love with all your works. Do you have a site or portfolio?

fil_razorback · « **Reply #23 on:** October 15, 2006, 07:51:52 pm »

Snake's seriously kicks ass ^^

Larwick · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2006, 10:47:48 pm »

Good lord, that's beautiful snake. Great work!

I've decided to pixel a little jumping pumpkin! Inspired by the title of the thread...

Hopefully i'll be successful in my endevour.

Was planning to do the same thing with the smaller pumpkin. I'll have to think of something else then. Looking forward to seeing it.

I've actually just started working on a portfolio site for freelancing. It's still a while before it goes public though.
Theres the devantart account (http://imson.deviantart.com/) but there's no pixel art there if that was what you were after.

Lol man, i didn't mean to reserve the idea all for myself. Please, if you want, try it. I probably won't have mine for a while anyway.

Peppermint Pig · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2006, 05:42:15 pm »

Okay! Finally getting around to posting my pumpkins!

ZoSo · « **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2006, 07:08:13 pm »

I love this one XD.. the colours are perfect adn the shading is really good

Larwick · « **Reply #30 on:** October 17, 2006, 07:18:28 pm »

Ooh man. So much quality stuff guys. Really inspiring. (I should really stop posting and start pixelling...)

fil_razorback · « **Reply #31 on:** October 17, 2006, 07:43:31 pm »

hey, what about a pumpkin-rustbug ?

Larwick · « **Reply #32 on:** October 17, 2006, 09:18:48 pm »

Lol noooo.

Just a draft of the animation. Never actually animated like this before (animating first, detail later). Just to give a taster, as i doubt i'll finish it tonight.

Peppermint Pig · « **Reply #33 on:** October 17, 2006, 09:25:38 pm »

Finish that anim and color it!

The human pumpkin, based on the large template.

haha! R2D2 is the best Pep. Like the shadng on the second one. and hte green with the bleeding top.

Great stuff Pep!

eqko · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2006, 07:30:25 am »

some seriously cool stuff in here

I'm enjoying this thread very much...

Lar, For some reason it appears as if the squash happens before he hits the ground,
while in reality it should happen because he hits the ground ...

also, he's thumping man ... i'd rather see it be a relaxed bounce ...

squash and stretch are the keywords for animations like this

see below image this applies to inplace hopping as well

Scotteh · « **Reply #36 on:** October 18, 2006, 06:30:04 pm »

Update: More shading around edges

thats what i have so far, im going trick or treating this year, hopefully i will get loads opf tooth rooting sweets

Kcilc · « **Reply #37 on:** October 18, 2006, 07:35:23 pm »

Umm... Heres my jackolantern.

Edit:

And, another one!

Thanks for the crits Eq, they were really helpful. Hopefully this is better;

(Btw, sorry for using this as some sort of WIP thread.. just don't feel it's worth making an entire new one just for this).

Lovely colours Kclilc, and that made me chuckle inside AQ, hehee.

Evil-Ville · « **Reply #40 on:** October 19, 2006, 12:08:59 pm »

I think the pumpkin drops down too fast Larwick. It looks almost like it just goes up and then magically teleports back down again.

snake · « **Reply #41 on:** October 19, 2006, 01:21:19 pm »

@ Larwick: Well, if you say so.

Had a few minutes, did a little jumping animation with the smaller pumpkin. Tried to to something a *little* bit different so the two jumpers wouldn't be identical:

Wheeee!

For some reason, I love yours Larwick. The way the timing is, it reminds me of those beanbags I used to have at home.

I keep thinking paprika every time I see this. Though, I don't get to see that many variations of pupkins around here.

Did someone put something in the water? I think I'm tripping out!!!!

Great work AlienQuark. Nice clean style.

One suggestion for the trampoline pumpkin, snake, would be to have the light diminish (redden) as the pumpkin is falling, to suggest the candle is rising up and freefalling a bit.. then have a little burst of light as it settles back down...

Good idea. It's going to take a little tweaking to get the right effect though, so I'll try it once I have some extra time. Sadly, you can hardly see it, but the pumpkin is actually changing its glow throughout the whole animation. I'm going to incorporate that bit into something else so It's not a complete waste.

Yeah, I was just bored the other day and made it a man instead of an actual pumpkin. I'm still trying to come up with a cool face for my real pumpkin, and maybe a neat animation to make it do like Larwick and snake, cuz I don't do enough of that jazz.
