Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone's been having a great Halloween ^^ It's getting quite late here now, and we've only had the door knocked one single time from trick-or-treaters... That's Halloween here for you XD
I think it's pretty safe to say, especially here on figure.fm, that 2009 was the year of Drossel. Even though the show was from 2008, with the release of Drossel's figma, gashapon and DVDs, her popularity has really shot up this year, so... Drossel pumpkin time XD
I don't think that there has really been a year in my last 22 years of life when I haven't carved a pumpkin for Halloween, but this year I used a new technique; having a go at skinning and carving just the skin instead of actually cutting holes in the flesh. I think it went quite well ^_^
I'm surprised at how bright her eyes turned out since they're not holes, they're just carved deeper into the pumpkin than the rest.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this year's pumpkin, even though it was a little difficult because of using the new technique and because the pumpkin is really small. It's only about 6 inches tall, including the stalk and about 5 inches without O_O
How was your Halloween and what did you get up to? Partying? Trick-or-treating? Pumpkin carving?
I've never carved pumpkins in all my life, lol. I mean sure there's Halloween here, but I just don't do anything special on this day except celebrate my dad's birthday XD
Very nice Drossel pumpkin :D
Thanks ^^ You should try it sometime, it's good fun :P
haha nice Drossel pumpkin carving! i wont be doing anything for halloween this year, again ^^; and ive only carved a pumpkin once many years ago, it was a fun experience. happy halloween!
Thank you kindly ^^ Happy Halloween to you too.
LOL at the last Drossel gashapon. It kinda looks like the chinese zombies 'Jiang Shi.
No Halloween here.
Just stress about real life, sadly.
Pumpkin looks awesome though.
Drossel pumpkin looks cute, especially with the shorter twintails.
Thanks ^^ If I had a bigger pumpkin I would've done her whole body but the one I had was so tiny it would've been difficult @_@
Sooo awesome, best Drossel pumpkin ever! ^^
I sure did carve a pumpkin this year! Was super fun ^^ all on my borogu.
Wanted to get another pumpkin to make an anime-themed design but ran out of time >.> maybe next year though!
Thank you ^^ Wow, that's a huge pumpkin, so round too O_O Great job on the carving, Koharu ^^
What are those little Drossels?
I've never seen it yet O.O
They're gashapon which were released quite recently. There's four in a set; normal Obruchev (flight), Belinda (karate) and Greenwich (wheel). They're 400 yen each in Japan. Online-wise, they're quite difficult to get.
Forgot to mention; you can get them on eBay, but they're a little expensive.
