🎃 Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest-2024 🎃

Pumping curving is actually not as easy as it sounds. My deepest love to everyone who has participated in Bitcointalk carving Contest-2024.

[famososMuertos]

Thanks for organizing this event, it is my second participation in the "Happy Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest".

My theme had to do intrinsically with the shape of my pumpkin, at first I thought of using it for a kind of pumpkin with a witch's hat, but the process led me to:
the pumpkin projects the idea of ​​bitcoin, it lights up... consequently  that candle light turns into the bitcoin logo, hence, if the pumpkin could think... it would think of bitcoin.

^{It is important to add that if you do not want the pumpkin to think about bitcoin all the time, you have the option of putting it in Hold mode, so, you remove the logo as shown in the photos below}

Hello @ChiBitCTy and @icopress.

May I send you 150,000 sats (minus the fees) to be awarded to the winners, as a donation, for this wonderful contest ?

I asked it here, because I read in the OP that discussion is allowed. If you see it please DM me for details because I am afraid I may lose the answer in here.

Of course, a huge thank you! I will provide an address to you tomorrow!

Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest

~step by step in completing my pumpkin carving.~





Final Stage and Finish. Even though it's simple, it took me around 6 hours to complete it. I was inspired by some of the pumpkin results from the participants here and also looked for references from YouTube. Finally I can calm down.

Art size : 15 x 20 cm

Process


Final Result

It isn't so bad even though the pumpkin texture is really rougher than canvas, one more thing, it shrunk faster than expected.
Do pumpkin carvings have any marketable value?

All of them!!! Happy carving pumpkin contest - it was a blast.

BTCitcoin Bull with Laser Eyes



This was the first time for me taking part in the Pumpkin Carving Contest. After looking at "pumpkin ideas" from OP, it was clear to me, that i wanna do that for my contribution.
The hardest part then was finding an appropriate bitcoin theme (brainstorming ~1h) and create some art out of it (lineart creation ~3h). Transfering the idea to the pumpkin was then time intesive (~5h), but break time for my brain. Finally there has to be done some "inner" carving for light transmission and of course a little bit of decoration (~1h).

     
             original lineart                                 + inverse for carving                      outer carving                             decoration

For me the participation was a true pleasure and i am / i was really impressed by those other artworks.
I wish all of us a happy Bullrun, might BTCitcoin be the storm going from strength to strength month after month and fiat be the trees to burst from it's power.

Happy BTC  Pumpkin Carving Contest 🎃 🎃 - Here is my Pumpkin  🎃

[Etranger]

This is the first time I am taking part in Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 🎃. I must say, I had some fun and distraction

Due to the reason that not all of my initial vision was represented as I thought it would be, I feel it will be better if I provide some explanation:
1. The face, namely - the eyes - are Bitcoin Symbol. I hope it is quite obvious.
2. In the right hand my pumping is holding a pick, because he is a miner and Bitcoin he already mined is in his left hand.
3. My pumpkin`s smile is the rising arrow - the only direction we shall see in Bitcoin price movement at this moment.
4. The Black Cat is my alternative personality.
5. On the back of the pumpkin is not the world "Book". It is "Boo" and "k" symbol. It was supposed to symbolise that Bitcoin will be 100k very soon, but also be connected to Halloween. 

PS. I carved the pumpkin today, but obviously, I was a little bit lost in time, thinking, that today is only 21.10.2024

Good luck everyone for this pumpkin carving contest 2k24

Happy Bitcoin pumpkin contest

I couldn't find any pumpkins on the market for this bitcoin pumpkin carving contest. So I ended up carving with a papaya without finding a way, I know I won't be accepted for the next voting system, So I made this just for fun.
