Virtual Pumpkin Carving

First I bought Halloween candy. Then I ate a lot of it. Then my mom forwarded me this link to a site where you can carve your own virtual pumpkins and put a candle inside. Now, I can say, I'm definitely in the Halloween spirit.
Apologies, due to low light, the photos are a little blurry. But you get the idea.

My creations tend to have facial hair:

Then I tried a portrait. Daisy was the only model I had on hand:
Cat Pumpkin

After that practice, I tried for a real human face. My goal was Jon Stewart, and I think the hair almost works. By the time I got to the mouth, though, it looked a lot less like real life and started looking more like George W. Bush. But at least that's scary.
