Dragon Jack O' Lantern

Happy Halloween!

A while ago I did a poll asking what I should carve into my pumpkin, and a dragon was the overwhelming favorite.. so here it is! Each year I try to raise the bar a little with my pumpkin, and this one is certainly my best yet - definitely the first worth posting to dA! xD The dragon and flames sort of wrap around the front of the pumpkin, so it was hard to get an angle that shows off both well in a photo (hence the weird perspective on the flames of the darker version), but it looks really cool in person. Apologies for the cell-phone camera quality... my real camera is broken.  I hope everyone has an awesome All Hallow's Eve! _{I may move this to scraps later?}

Tools used: normal kitchen paring knife, vegetable peeler (the kind with a little sharp scoop on the end for removing the 'eyes' of potatoes and whatnot), a pair of tiny scissors from a fabric kit (for scraping)
Time: 2-ish hours total, including sketching a design, cleaning out the pumpkin, etc.
