Finishing touches on my coat. Its almost done prolly finish it up tonight. This is all from last night. Gotta add pockets, shoulder cape, liner... and I think thats it to finish it up. Gotta be done tonight!!

The hoods fully detachable as seen in the first pic. I have a stretchy form fitting kinda cloth hood to wear under the mask to hide my neck and shirt. Mask on top of that and then hood over it. Gotta make the hat too still =/

Pretty insane pumpkin carving there. More like sculpting.

Speaking of pumpkins, I did up this little jack-o'-lantern the other day:

I goofed up a bit while carving, and I'll have to remember never to mark the lines with a sharpie again, unless it's a super fine tipped one. I just wasn't happy carving away at it, because I'd already drawn the eyes and mouth too close together, so having to carve outside of the lines caused a space issue. Too much pumpkin whittled away. But it turned out all right, and although I accidentally cut off a portion of one eye and had to do the other to match, I kinda like the gigantic peepers since it lets the eerie glow through better.

Here's the pumpkin prior to carving, by the way:

And this was my original doodle when coming up with designs (which I drew in early September, ha ha):

Nice stuff! I'll have to snap shots of my pumpkin (not very impressive) but it's cute and I like it.

You can always celebrate later, Halloween is truly a holiday to keep with you inside all year. Just stay safe for now man.

So I was going to take pics of my skull pumpkin but I carved it too soon and now it looks like a grumpy old man. I'm going to have to toss 'im when I get home tonight.

Here's a little treat to start out the day.

Perhaps next year will leave me more time to prepare that jiang shi costume. I had a stranger Halloween than most, but I did spend a few hours handing out those aforementioned fortune cookies.

Cool.

Well, we're in the homestretch slide of another year now. Here's hoping you all had a great time of it this October 31st. I didn't do much myself, watched some movies, including Dracula A.D. 1972, which was surprisingly good. Went to my favorite restaurant, which I've not been to in months, and later had a caramel apple or two.  Oh almost forgot, I also played through the entirety of Doom 2 with my significant other, using a mod that lets you play as characters (and use the associated weapons) from Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D and ChexQuest as well as the Doom Marine. It was a pretty sweet way to top off the evening.

Halloween 2012 may be over, but the holiday will remain undead in our hearts till next year, when it will rise again for another Monster Mash!

Shit! I almost forgot!

Drac A.D. 1972 was definitely saved by having Cushing AND Lee in it.

And wow that IWAD (I'm guessing something that extensive must be an internal WAD) that you played Doom 2 through sounds amazing, mixing in all those characters. I'm curious which one is that. Actually just so we don't derail this thread would you mind posting the reply on that one you made about Zandronum?

EDIT: Btw those costumes look awesome, especially that mummy candy dish.
