I chose to go with a simple paint scheme for Link, because of the style of art in Skyward Sword.  The inspiration for the model was from Nintendo&#8217;s promotional material that&#8217;s been around since E3 2010 (of Link slashing downward).  For my third consecutive year, in addition to painting the pumpkin, I carved it without using a pen to lay out the artwork, first.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HCJvQbyUlQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nVideo one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4wS8ztQO0CY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nVideo two.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for your great support when I put these up.  It&#8217;s always a joy to share my 2-3 hours of work with you and if you have anything you&#8217;d like to share, please do and I&#8217;ll help promote it.  Also, good job to my girlfriend&#8217;s Cheshire cat pumpkin, which is her fourth one.  The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword comes out this November 20th and is part of Nintendo&#8217;s 25th anniversary celebration of the series.  Here&#8217;s to another 25 years of Zelda games and another 14 years of me carving pumpkins&#8230;and eventually both going on forever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2011 marks my 14th video game theme pumpkin that I&#8217;ve made for Halloween.
