It's that spooky time of year when fans' creativity is out and about! One always fun exploit is turning pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns into our favorite characters. However, this Grand Inquisitor pumpkin takes this fun Halloween task to the next level.
3-PiCO Illustration, who goes by @Quizzy_sin_bin on Twitter, has been a longtime fan of the Grand Inquisitor from Star Wars Rebels. I know because, as a fellow fan of "Grande Boyfriend," as I call him, I have been following their work for several years before we became buds. Along with their illustrations, 3-PiCO is also an avid crafter who knits and crochets. This led to the creation of the Pumpkinquisitor!
I love my grumpy Pumpkinquisitor son

A triple-craft wonder of knitting, crochet, and stitching; made entirely of scrap and recycled materials (+ lots of love and devotion) pic.twitter.com/tk42PnfPoI

3-PiCO is also a fan of the Star Wars TTRPG podcast For Light and Dice, where they talked in the show's Discord channel about the creation process for their grumpy pumpkin. Shared with permission from the artist and the show hosts, they explained how the entire pumpkin is made from recycled materials!
They said, "Fun fact: he is entirely made of scrap and/or upcycled materials. The black fabric is from a worn-out pair of my spouse's work pants, the other felt pieces and embroidery thread are leftover from other projects, the beige yarn is both scraps from a blanket and made from recycled plastic, the grey and tan cotton yarn are leftover from a stuffed toy and shirt I made, and the stuffing is from an old worn out pillow."
What an awesome creation for Halloween! The added bonus is that it's made from reused materials, which is a wonderful twist, too!
