Hi zi! First thing I thought was `FrostPumpkin', so that's good I suppose, hehe. It's looking especially polished, even now. I'm not sure how well it would function as a sprite; given the amount of detail and depth it has it would be difficult to animate and pop out of the background elements, I believe.
The arms it has (I assume they're arms?) are less than obvious. They just kind of hide from the eye as `more leafy stuff', in my opinion. They need to be bigger and need to pop more, just something to make them stand out as being different from the leaves.
I like the second (right) variant because it seems to have more volume. The first one is still enjoyable, though.
I think the lightness you have along the bottom rim of the pumpkin is strange. Is it ambient light, or AA? My guess is ambient light, but it reads as just jagginess, to me.
It's looking great, anyway
