Pair of jacks

I think I was intentionally using Schultzian proportions with the one on the right. Then the other one was sort of its diabolical little brother.

Before now I've always carefully plotted out my jack-o-lantern faces with a pencil sketch. But this time I just started right in with the knife.

Yes, I think I was probably directly influenced by both Jhonen Vasquez and Bill Watterson.

...Now that I think about it, the thing about Vasquez is that he really likes polygonal shapes and angles. Which means that a vaguely Invader Zimian style is really good for shapes you're hacking out of a vegetable with a knife.
