FUUU Pumpkin

My pumpkin carving from this halloween using a video as a tutorial on how to carve a pumpkin like this, I went onto google and found this epic flamey pic of the FUUU!!! meme and decided I should do it, I never really understood such an undertaking, so first off I started the pumpkin two days before halloween just to be sure I wouldn't be too late. I got an x-acto blade from the instruction of the vid. I went to wal-mart and they only had one blade rather than the selection toolkit of blades and I got sad, and further understood how much work it would take to create this, cause the blade is like a right triangle. This was taken by my cellphone because my mini-camera is a crappy nikon coolpix s550, and it can't take a photo in the dark, this was in my room with the pumpkin having a traditional candle in the middle and you can see the time before I set out the pumpkin XP

How:
I printed the picture and taped it to the pumpkin multiple times just to try and get it right, I had a pumpkin with one flat side and sadly the pumpkin did not stand upright in the direction I wanted it to, and I had to carve on the round side instead. I finished pricking in about 2 hours, then I took of the taped paper print and saw all these dots, I got over-whelmed at first but then realized like a piano player, take it one by one, and I carved the x-acto blade was really hard to carve with cause I had no surface area to chizel casually. so I had to carve like a dentist pricking your teeth, and after 2 days it was halloween, carving was almost complete and I had only about 1/10 to finish up. finally I was done, I took many pictures of it, even with it on display on a table I put out one of my airbrush board and put it ontop of my table, cause the table was sucky and was only for holding eating stuff/ it had depressions for the stuff and the were for: a cup, a remote/eating untensils, and one big depressions for a plate XP very bad for displaying, and I did not want my pumpkin showing on the floor, so I improvised XP. so yeah, here it is XP My first pro pumpkin!
