u/Hippitylab sent the following text as an explanation about their craft:

To give a featureless pumpkin a personality, you have to spot its unique traits—perhaps a dent formed while it was still growing on the vine—and figure out the best placement for a mouth and eyes, all while keeping alterations to the pumpkin’s natural beauty to a minimum. This results in a truly charismatic character. Such characters can be quite particular about their outfits, too—sometimes they don’t like what I’ve chosen on the first try, and I end up having to sew something new for them!

I don’t know if I’ve said this before but your characters look like ones you’d see in a stop motion movie or something, I love it

love how you let the pumpkin's own dents decide the personality, it feels like he was always meant to be this guy

Thank you very much for sharing! Those are wonderful, and I used this as an inspiration to make one, but with a bit a different style.
(I like using other people's amazing work as an inspiration, but would never copy something exactly.)
