2009 - Worgen
My daughter was getting older and asked for something a bit more challenging this year. She has been playing World of Warcraft for a few years now and this fall we took a family vacation to California to attend Blizzcon. At Blizzcon they announced two new races for the game. We got to play the beta of the Cataclysm expansion while we were there and my daughter just fell in love with the Worgen.
This patterns seemed perfect for her this year so I cranked out this very cool wolf man style pattern. I think this is my best to date, I hope you agree and try it out yourself. As she does every year, my wife got us a HUGE pumpkin, so I'll print this at almost 16 inches tall and 20 inches wide.
This is a difficult pattern, not designed for a first time carving. But if you take your time, stay focused and use a large pumpkin, the results are outstanding! This is one of our more popular patterns for a good reason.
