I turned Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar Cards into an Awesome Sculpture

It's the spookiest time of the year, and it's the end of Pokétober, so I figured I'd combine the two and bring you Spokétober: Gotta Spook 'Em All!

I think unifying the purples was a perfectly valid (purplectly?) artistic choice and, for a sculpture, I think the final effect is really nice. For one thing, it makes it look as if they're less brightly lit in their 'scenario' (the cemetery, probably at night?) so yeah, go you!
