ColorChallenge - Orange Pumpkin Art

For todays color challenge i created this digital pumpkin art on paint.net. Below are the stages i went through to get the final product!!

I first started off with just a gradient effect to get the right color.

I then used a tiling effect to create the same texture a real pumpkin has.

Next I used the 3D tool to create it into a sphere and then liquefied it into the shape of a pumpkin.

I used the same image and further liquefied it into the shape of a stem and switched the color to a green shade.

Finally i put those two pieces together and got a pumpkin. A bit early for Halloween but oh well:)
