Metroid pumpkin!

Inspired by this image, I set out to make my own Metroid pumpkin.


Of course, being me, I did this with power tools. Specifically, a dremel.


Pumpkin sprayed everywhere in a fine mist. Under the high temperatures of the dremel (which was cooled by an ice-pack between use), some of the pumpkin actually melted. (Observe the bottom edge of the dremel.)


Completed, it rests tamely in my hands. It doesn't really glow, sadly - the dremel carved insufficiently deeply, and the candle inside was too dim - but the point is made.


It lurks in the dark, ready to suck the life from passers-by. Hope you have an Ice Beam ready!
