Illustration Assignment - Halloween

I decided to do an illustration of a long-time favorite decoration for Halloween, Jack'o'lanterns.

The finished jack'o'lanterns before the lights go off and the pumpkins begin to glow.

The only light in the picture is from the inside of the jack'o'lanterns, giving them a sense of floating in darkness.

This was also a fun illustration to do because of all the different lighting techniques that came into play. At one point my shutter speed was so low that I was picking up the clouds in the night sky and the complete background, despite it being late at night with little artificial light sources. Also, due to the pumpkins being close together, they provided side lighting for each other, giving each pumpkin a bit more detail in otherwise dark picture.
