Description Be careful when downloading, because this is...gigantic.
Finished my promised tutorial on how to make 3-dimensional animal ears. The craft foam and tinfoil ones are okay but I wanted something a little more realistic.
Important note: The base ears should look a little too small--once you add the fur, they will appear much larger. So be careful to avoid making ears exactly the size you want the first time around.
Feel free to comment or note/message me if you have any questions! Oh, and if you use this tutorial, please message me a link to a picture! I love seeing pictures. :3
Oh, and I totally take commissions on these little suckers, so if you run into a lot of trouble or just get lazy I'd be happy to whip some up for you. :3

What type of paint did you use to paint the fur?
thank you!! *-*

Katsumiyo In reply to VeroEs [2011-10-05 07:54:32 +0000 UTC]

It's just the usual acrylic paint right out of the bottle. I tried fabric paint but it didn't seem to want to dry...

Quick question, what do you suggests for cut out shapes for pig ears?
Odd, I know but it's for my Halloween costume. c:

Katsumiyo In reply to PuppyMeruChan [2011-09-29 06:31:23 +0000 UTC]

I guess it depends. For a more realistic pig, it'd still be the same shape...but since pig ears are so thin, I'd just go for the cone shape alone. I'd sandwich some floral wire between two layers of craft foam and use the wire to curve them instead.

-takes notes-
Okay. I wasn't sure what kind of wiring I should've used.
Thanks a lot.

thanks for the instructions. it helped A LOT! i made some just using brushed out yarn instead of the fur fabric; since i wanted it to match the color & texture of the tail i made (that took 50+ hours ;_ thanks once again. holo cosplay uniteeeeee!

Gee, Katsu, I get the impression that you're really smart! It seems like you take a tooth pick, pipe cleaner and a soda cap and make raw magic out of it, really cool.
good job!

que es el "faux fur"??

Katsumiyo In reply to Shona-Horo [2011-06-07 18:59:29 +0000 UTC]

It's fur but fake...not real fur, though I suppose you could use that too. Faux fur is just made from plastic fiber, just like wigs.
