Pumpkin Carving 2009 Winners

Monthly voting time! Visit your account page to see if you're part of the voting pool for Best of October.

I have a lot of posts to make but I'll start with the winners of the Pumpkin Carving competition.

ReNaeNae has proven unstoppable once again, this year with two pumpkins instead of one! After checking out these entries, be sure to have a look at the Behemoth Halloween contest, with lots of amazing pumpkins and costumes you won't find in this thread.

Pumpkin Carving Winners

1st: ReNaeNae - Draconious and Gigantor from Facebook Twitter

2nd: Blaspheman - O-Face from Awesome Center

3rd: asinslauks - Steve from Tankmen

I assumed this next pumpkin would be in the Behemoth contest but it doesn't appear to be, so I'm giving it $30 store credit for being the best Castle Crashers pumpkin of the year!

Congrats to all the winners!

Last year I sent Tokyo Game Show swag bags to the winners, so I'll admit the store credit this year feels less inspired. Next year my goal is to collect candy from (trusted) users around the world, maybe some hand-drawn art too from popular artists! Winners of the pumpkin contest will be rewarded with international candy bags; a more fitting prize for a contest like this.

Speaking of prizes, Edmund is having a second Super Meat Boy Contest that involves creating and posting art here on NG and tweeting him with the link! Check it out!

Next up will likely be the winners of the Halloween Flash-Off, followed by some sort of massive Treasure Hunt wrap-up.

Edmund is having a contest to win one of his remaining Meat Boy comics.

You can get a free Meat Boy sticker with any order from the store, but you can now also BUY THEM!

TRIPLE POSTER PACK featuring art by JohnnyUtah!

This is a must-have item for anyone who likes posters. I would like to release at least one triple pack each month featuring different artists, but we need to move a lot of these to make it possible!
