target=”_blank”>Yes! Yes! We’ve finally got some winners for ya! Emily, Fred and I put our collective heads together and have named the following entries as our grand prize winners! These winners will receive the respect of their peers, along with that juicy Level Up Studios store credit!

Our most creative winner this year was Primevil with his amazing pumpkin rendition of Metroid Prime 3′s Aurora Unit 313! You may remember some of his previous work when he won prizes in our first year and second year contest with his impressive Metroid themed carvings! Who knows what Metroid themed thing we’ll see next year!

Our most detailed winner this year was ceemdee, who for a second year swept the category with her incredibly beautiful carvings! We featured these three in particular because each judge had a favorite… Emily voted for “Bastion,” Fred voted for “Ico” and Shawn voted for “Minesweeper.” However you have to admit that all her entries were extremely well done!

And finally our most humorous winner this year was “Pumpkin Gaiden” by newcomer Sir Zebulon Anselm Löwe lll! His Ryu Hayabusa pumpkin literally destroyed the competition, along with most of his front yard!

Congratulations again to all our grand prize winners, and stay tuned for our next post where we will announce our eight runner-up winners!

Oh you kids, I know how you love your animes! That’s why when Uzumakiclan43 sent in these two Smash Bros style Soul Eater openings I figured, I better post these to meet my new Halolz anime themed quota of the week!

I’ve heard the term so many times… but it never occurred to me you could actually smoosh the two together to make one awesome crossover!
