Digital Painting of Freddy Krueger Pumpkin Carving
Painted in Photoshop CS5, using several publicity images and the movie "Freddy vs Jason" as reference (paused about a million times lol)
About 40 hours of work.

Please note that I don't have time to say "thank you" for every favourite, but I appreciate them all nonetheless! Thank you all for your support!!!


#AnotherContestGroup's Contest
This is my entry for the contest! I've chosen to portray Freddy Krueger from the infamous "Nightmare on Elm Street" series because I always thought he was the most frightening of the supernatural killers that populate the Halloween Season (Freddy, Jason, and Michael). I also thought that Freddy's glove was an ideal tool for pumpkin carving!

The idea popped into my head, and I couldn't shake it, so here is Freddy carving a pumpkin with Jason's hockey mask on it. I have a feeling he's only carving it so that he can smash it :XD:

About the Painting
This took forever! I did most of the painting without any kind of reference (which for me is quite unusual, I don't think I've ever painted anything human without reference - cetaceans are a horse of a different colour of course lol). I did watch all the Freddy Movies and paused "Freddy vs Jason" about a million times. I also took out my glove replica and put it on to get an idea of what the hand should look like. It was fun! The light bulb was surprisingly fun to paint lol.

Halloween is my favourite holiday. I'll take it over Christmas any day! :pumpkin:
