Thank you, but i didnt do it alone. I couldnt have done it without my wonderful girlfriend. As far as how we went about doing it, it was actually pretty easy. We printed out a big picture of Mr J and taped it onto the pumpkin and then traced that image with a knife onto the pumpkin(stabbing along the outline) Then we got a erasable marker and traced over it to make it more visible. For Mr Js body we used a chisel to carve a relief but not actually cut all the way through the pumpkin(which would have made islands if we did) and then we cut the eyes out all the way. (the hardest part was around his tiny mouth and not chopping it off lol)
Heres a larger picture for everyone
<blushes> Thanks SoapChef
