"There are three things that I've learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin."

A single, forgotten plot of land - long overgrown and untended. The kind of place farmers avoid without knowing why, where the crows perch in eerie silence, watching. It's here that a pumpkin, chosen by forces unknown, begins to stir. At first, it's subtle - a slow creak as vines tighten, a faint glow in the hollowed spaces where no eyes should be. Then, it rises.
No hands plant it on a scarecrow's shoulders. It places itself.
Tonight the contract will be fulfilled.

This design is based on Isopresso's scarecrow tutorial. My previous attempt felt too ... neat for something that has such potential for creepiness.

I overdid it -- went dark and had to pull back to 'creepy'.
I left the description/images on the blog if you're oddly curious or curiously odd though. The thought for the image was "bleached bones left behind as a warning sign .. a poor deckhand who felt fortunate being asked by the captain to help bury his treasure." The last hole he dug and it wasn't even for his own grave. Oof. I don't like human monsters.
Drawing on a flower shape is rough, it even feels a bit like cheating since you can get it to look decent from one direction even if it looks terrible from the side because of it.
