Step into a surreal autumn dream with The Pumpkin King — a cinematic fantasy illustration that captures the eerie majesty of Halloween’s most mysterious monarch. At the heart of the scene, the Pumpkin King sits tall upon a gnarled wooden throne, his enlarged, carved head glowing with regal intensity. A crown of twisted branches adorns his head like antlers of autumn itself, while his tattered cape billows around him in haunting elegance.
Surrounding him is an ethereal aura of softly glowing jack-o'-lanterns, their light casting flickering shadows across a fog-draped graveyard. In the background, a luminous full moon watches silently as bats glide across the sky, adding quiet movement to the solemn stillness. Scattered pumpkins dot the ground, fewer but purposefully placed for dramatic impact.
Rendered in a bold, stylized aesthetic with graphic novel-inspired outlines, clearly defined color zones, and rich tonesof deep orange, royal purple, emerald green, and obsidian black, this piece merges photorealistic textures with painterly storytelling. The composition is both striking and imaginative, blending dark fantasy with theatrical detail for a scene that is both regal and haunting.
Perfect for fans of gothic fantasy, Halloween art, and those who love to bring bold seasonal statements into their home, The Pumpkin King stands as a timeless tribute to the spirit of October.

📷 Key Tips for Choosing Your Image:
🖼️ Custom Paint by Numbers Photo Guidelines
To ensure your custom design turns out beautifully, follow these tips when uploading your photo:
1. 📷 Image Quality
Choose a high-resolution photo. The sharper the image, the more detail we can capture in your painting.
2. 👤 Subject Distance
Close-up shots work best. The closer the subject is to the camera, the clearer and more defined the final artwork will be.
3. 💡 Lighting
Use evenly lit photos with natural or front-facing light. Avoid harsh shadows, backlighting, dark images, or filters that distort colors.
4. 🖼️ Canvas Size
Larger canvases reveal more detail. For complex or multi-subject photos, we recommend a minimum size of 16x20 inches. Make sure your image matches the canvas ratio to avoid cropping.
