[Valentina's Day community contest]

So many excellent entries here. This thread is inspiring if not intimidating. My favorite three in no particular order:

- TheRedCow (post#26) - Confident, feminine, cute; she's the Kerbal you want to see succeed

- cptdavep (post #93) - I love that he tried changing the Kerbal anatomy to make something distinctly different

- nothingSpecial (post #65) - this rendering shows that Val, like Jeb, has no fear

And in light of such awesomeness, I humbly present my own entry. Seems kind of lackluster now:

I was trying to go for something that was definitely feminine, yet distinctly Kerbal.

[The Official KSPumpkin Halloween Contest Thread]

Jeb-kin!

Hmm... hot-link doesn't seem to work. Clicky?

How did you make it? Did you just trace a picture?

I used a photo of the Shapeways 3-D printed Jeb, here, and did a little processing in Photoshop (but any image editing software with posterize filter would work). Here's a little tutorial on how to do that: http://notions.okuda.ca/2006/10/27/portrait-pumpkin-carving/

Come on, I know I'm not the only one translating KSP to pumpkin form this October!

[What i love about career mode]

For me it was kind of a reeducation in how to play the game.

To use an art analogy: You can paint any kind of picture you want as long as you've got big tubes of red, yellow and blue. If you've already got a starter set of 16 colors, why learn how to mix brown yourself?

I always slapped an orange Rokomax tank with a mainsail on every rocket I ever built. How else was I going to get to the moon? Career mode showed me the only things I need to get to the moon (and back!) are the smaller engines and a pair of landing legs.
