Take heed, beware
There's something in the air
Grown to an almighty size
It's loud and it gleams
And with fury it screams
See the big pumpkin arise

(“Pumpkins United” by Helloween)

On this day one year ago, I posted my first entry to @LogMaiden’s Houses of Halloween palette contest, the Hell-o-Lantern, and it’s one of my favorite skins to date. That’s why, for the 1-year anniversary of said skin, I thought I’d shade it a little bit and make it look better. Hope you guys like it!

(Oh, and I made all the edits on my iPad.)

Loreeeeeee!

The ground beneath the pumpkin patch began to tremble, as root-like arms sprouted out of the ground beneath a pumpkin. The farmer was terrified. The pumpkin then magically carved itself and its new eyes began to glow. The creature pulled itself out of the ground, revealing a full, cloaked body. “It’s just like last year!” the farmer said, trembling in terror. Before he could run, however, the Hell-o-Lantern spewed toxic pumpkin guts all over him, melting his clothes, flesh, and muscles off until all that remained was a slender skeleton.

There is also official IGEBM lore stuff for this guy now, and it’s on this blog. Give him 11 days and he’ll be in PMC: The Mansion of Shivers!
