Hey, We’re all Winners Here, Except for the Pumpkins, who Died

But even they are lucky, because, I mean, look:

I hope somebody carves up my body this good when I’m dead!

We have chosen winners for our Gourds of Doom contest, and believe it or not, the above pumpkin is not one of them. I mean, it’s a winner of a pumpkin, for sure, but it was made by a PROFESSIONAL. Ryan French, one of our awesome APs at Sierra carved it with his girlfriend. He did this one, too:

Inspiring and Evil!
If any of you other developers out there did not receive hand-carved pumpkins from your publishers, you should really complain.

And now on to our winners!
As mentioned, all legitimate entrants will receive a DVD of selected scenes from the Excellent Game Psychonauts.
The top six pumpkins will receive an ORIGINAL DRAWING FROM SCOTT C! Each one bigger than the next.
The first place winner will get the biggest drawing, and also a signed Psychonauts poster.

Okay, are you ready for the winners? Here we go:

Sixth Place: DinkyTiny‘s Double Fine Action Pumpkin!

Fifth Place: AviusViator’s “I’m Sorry” Dogen w/Squirrel and Badges!

Fourth Place: Pixelton’s Milk Pumpkin!

MILK PUMPKIN!!!

I must say that the milk pumpkin is also a nice touch. I think one of one of those guys in the trenchcoats would have been fun to see, too.

It was a great contest and an original drawing of scottc is a great award too.
Bravo! Et vive le lait!!

Those pumpkins died heroes. I, for one, will erect a statue in memory of their sacrifice.

I’d light a funeral pyre and set it out to sea, but it’s kinda hard to do that in Kansas. And apparently people get angry if you do that sort of thing in their pools.

...Pumpkin hating traitors.

Congrats to all the winners!

Hell, I wish I knew about this contest before hand. Some truly awesome pumpkins. Can’t we have a Thanksgiving contest too? Like who can carve the best turkey, a death metal turkey with all the trimmings. Yes, DB let’s do it. And give away Tim’s used socks for us to hang on the mantle. That way Santa can follow the smell in the dark to fill the yellow stained foot sack with chocolate treats and elf magic.

At least think about it.

P.S. If turkey carving is too vague you could just have a contest for those hand shapes you cut out of construction paper and paste to a brown bag, creating a quasi-turkey for fridge decor. This would be a bonus because it would provide a good reason to buy paste, a child hood delicacy of mine.
