As a result of the ~100 people that have commented "reserved" and most not understanding that it means you will soon update this comment with your pumpkin entry, I will have to remove all of the comments from the pumpkin carving contest giveaway page. Please do not comment unless it's an actual entry or a reply to an entry submitted.
I apologize for the inconvenience to those that legitimately tried to reserve a spot for their entry. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please only comment with an actual submission. Do not comment "reserved".
You can only "enter" by submitting your pumpkin masterpiece. Commenting "entered" does not enter you into the contest.

Glap, thousands of people know about your generosity. What I've learned in my time getting to know you is that you are genuinely interested in other people's lives. I admire you for so many reasons that don't have anything to do with games.

Don't see anyway to make the link click able tried a bunch of the given codes on imgur to see if they work here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Check out the Formatting Help FAQ.
Name of link is in square brackets, followed by the link in regular brackets.
Ex: [ name ] ( URL )
Take out the spaces from the above example and it will work.

At first, I thought you were screwing with us and you uploaded a painting. This is absolutely amazing. I wish I could carve a pumpkin like a painting, brilliant work, ceemdee.
Whoa. I found your DeviantArt account. You do some really amazing work, ceemdee.

Thank you :)
I wasn't sure which one to submit, but I felt the Outlaws pumpkin looked the most "Halloween-ish".
