The Glorious Gourd Contest Returns!

ScyHunter

Welcome to a node in the Underrealm, Skull city! Only while standing in this spot can you see why this place gets its name. No one knows if this was created or natural but you will find plenty of people arguing about that once you arrive.

A path through the caves.
A tree on fire shows the way.
But don't get gourd by the tusk on your way.

Howdy y'all. I love the little emojis in discord so I put a few of them together in the Summoner layout. The projected image is my guilds emblem.
Happy Halloween.

Spoiler is pumpkin in light.

Heyo!!

This story is for the lore masters.

Hope Rises
Despair Falls,

A tree ancestral
From the creation celestial.
One of 10
Now of 7
Left behind from the heavens

A man who suffers
From The Others
One of 3
at the tree
Summoning with glee

Despair Rises
Hope Falls

(My first picture is my submission)

I hope you like my submission to the contest! Had a lot of fun looking at all the concept art for the game to find inspiration, a lot of very cool stuff.

Good luck all. Thank you for the opportunity AoC team.

Rate my setup!
Oh if only I had an alpha key I wouldn't have to play on my pumpkin, I could go and take my Fox of the Pyre for a ride

This took a bit longer than I thought it would but I'm pretty happy with the results.
Except for the photos, I have no idea why they all turned out so grainy.

Just arrived at home after hiking through the forest for a good spot with a fountain as extra fire-fighting resource with the rain and immediately uploaded raw footage after making some shots before dawn and twilight.

Barely anything went like planned, but learned alot, for one thing it's better to take notice and remember ongoing contests, order chemicals sooner or keep them in stock (for making blue, green and other colorful flames like with boric acid) so that it's worth having fire instead of using flashlights. Practice more carving and lighting, as the backside carving form could not be identified what it is. Lastly use thicker rope and other burning fuel for better visible Intrepid symbol. Much to improve upon for a hopeful next time that won't end up appearing so scuffed.

The gods who saved the inhabitants of Verra breathed life back into the planet opening the gateways, allowing them to return to their old home. The rebirth of a world.

Official entry:



Actually my first illustration was the one below, where I kept the exact form of the pumpkin but not the lines. Then came the clarifications about the lines that couldn't be altered in any way. I decided I would redo my entry to adapt to the different required style that follows out of that, but a real life job came in which left me with no time to play around with it anymore. I moved some parts around and just pasted the contest template on top of it. Kills the atmosphere, but then again, so does climate change.

Here is my entry to the Glorious Gourd Contest. My design is an original mix using a couple images from Ashes of Creation (Tulnar Underrealm concept art and the tree on the AoC: Apocalypse logo), mixed with a mountainous sunset. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, first time ever really trying on a pumpkin carving and I have to say it was a blast! I will definitely try more ambitious carvings in future years! I am very excited for the fox once I get to play Ashes and I figured it would make a great pumpkin!

Jokoss

Hi, here's my entry.
I am very enthusiast about the game and I hope my work will speak for itself
Good luck everyone.

Bluidu

I just had to give it a shot. There is no better bait than an alpha one key.



(Whew I just reread the rules... thank god i noticed the totally unaltered line thing this time.
But please don't tell me you're gonna disqualify the lizard-pumpkin drawing. That's one hell of an entry.)

Hello
Here is my entry for the contest. I hope you like it! Good luck to all ! ♥

Wandering the wilds of Verra, an embered kit came across the Hovel of the Faded. Perhaps this would be a warm place to rest? With a mighty growl, the guardian sabletooth cub gives a fierce warning - this would not be a relaxing place to call home. Without hesitation, the embered kit, turns and then runs off to find a more peaceful location.






This was a lot of fun and a great learning experience! Congratulations to all who entered this Glorious Gourd Contest. You all have some amazing looking physical and digital pumpkins!
