How to make elf ears Videos

Nope I did too

yes!!!

Only One Way To Know!

Normal is boring

+PiccoloVegeta97 I know. It's boring

Fuck normality.

What's your definition of normal? Please explain

+PiccoloVegeta97 me too

+PiccoloVegeta97 same

I totally would.

+Taryn Tragedyy I agree, as much as I like elf ears, I'm not willing to spend a buch of dough to screw up my ears

+Cody Hathaway Never ever haha I like my normal ears haha

+Shallowfate Destiny me too :3

+Punk-Ghoul Im doing Link.

Tavros

Awesomeness thank you!

+Jenna Larson You can leave it off if you want. It will be rough and not easy to mold over. Adding the extra plaster gives you a nice base under the ear when you start adding clay to sculpt your elf ear. I wouldn't add this step if I didn't feel it was important. It is how effects artists create plaster ears all over the world. I didn't make this step up. :)

+dagmag michmag Thank you. :)

My pleasure.  I wish you the best on your education journey.  :) 

+Egg Head FX Ooh, ok. I get the idea now. Thanks for the description, that'll help a lot when choosing my classes in college.

Yes.  Some effects artists specialize.  Some are very good at sculpting or mold making or painting.  Some will even specialize in prosthetic application and some do it all.  It depends on where you live and what resources are in your area.  If in Hollywood, you may only specialize because there are big makeup effects studios that are only looking for a particular skill to fill their work force.  Many try and do it all and usually specialize in what they are good at.  Some specialize in gore or fantasy makeup etc.  Many artists have limitations to what they can do because they don't sculpt a lot or make molds but still work in film and television doing makeup application or mainly beauty makeup.  It's a very diverse field with skill levels all over the spectrum.  

+Egg Head FX Really? I would think that's what you call people who work with theatre makeup, not necessarily molding and casting. But i guess it is still a part of makeup if i think about it. Thanks.

+VickieTheHippie haha right, he made up a new word

+real life elf You can ask a dentist if they would sell you a 2 cups (475 ml) of alginate. It's a pretty common product in most countries for dentists casting teeth. Or purchase it from a dental supply store or often you can purchase kits used for casting baby hands. These kits use alginate to coat the baby hand when casting. Look at the material list to make sure it's alginate and not something else. Never cast a hand or ear or any part of a person's body with plaster.

+Seraph Cosplay Thank you Seraph, My goal has been to try and give as much information as I could. Especially techniques. :)  And please share with your cosplay friends. Thanks

+Jasmin Gomez its like painters tape, you can most likely find it where you would find painters tape

K

?

+Isabella Noske you don't need to call people dumb. Your extremely rude.

Your eye colour is fake. Not "your colour eye is fake".And it's contacts.

+Jael Zepeda NO SHIT DUMB FUCK ITS CONTACTS!

+The Cosplay Chronicles oh ok

they are coloured contacts ^^

Dude, those are lenses. cx

Hmm that may work, perhaps stage makeup or tattoo make up something that wouldn't rub off

cover over with a heavy duty foundation?

They Can stay on for most of the day if you're careful with them and I haven't tried using eyelash glue but it might actually work you can always give it a try ^.^ and you're very much welcome I'm glad that you liked the video ^.~

+Elizabeth The Cat thx so much!! ^^

+MarikNinjaPuff Actually there is a way to make it look realistic with only tape. If you use clear tape, put it where your ear connects to your face and wrap it around your ear will have the point. Cutting off the excess tape helps as well. Don't put makeup on the inside of the tape because it will make it stand out, only apply at the edge and also don't apply too much you want it to match the rest of the skin.

+Amoryn Baughman i am sorry you didn't like the result but you could always go buy some latex or you could use more time and make more details to this

that's exactly what I did, and besides the fact it was on the long side, it wasn't a bad tutorial.The music might have people switch to others though, since you wanted feedback. Not everyone can be bothered to switch of the music, easy as it may be to do so

you do know that you can turn off the music and that is just a bad excuse for not watching the video because maybe the music is bad but that doesn't mean the video is and i will just let you know that the music changes because it's only there at the intro but of course this is your choice i wont make you watch the video if you don't want to but you really can't blame the music your choice and your comment may you have a good day ^.^

Haha I'm making some for my son who's 2 so I've been looking for something that I don't have to glue and rip off his little ears. I'll definitely be using this but I'll add the ear details to the fabric. :)

aww hes all like ''uhm, i font mean to be rude, but your squishin my face!! ohh yehh yer squishin my ffaacceee'' lol yeh that was suppost to be a song lol

So cute! At 1:45, I thought you were going to say, "And here, I'm showing you how cute and adorable my baby is." XD

ey, care with the baby,,,, this pencil is very dangerous,,,, but awesome ear! ^^

Do you have a link for the ear pattern? The baby is really cute by the way!

i think tht person was being saracstic ... awkward for u ;D

He doesn't look like an elf... he looks like a gremlin!

hooo how cute the baby i love the eyes of the baby ! :3

awesome ears there so cute so is your kid hes awesome

thanks! now i know how to make a elf ear.

He's super adorable, good job, thanks ; )

Realistic 'elf ears', yeah right.

aaaawwww he is so cuteeee... :)

Hi Lopti! You said yo painted the ears black yourself, is that correct? Can you please tell me what did you use to paint them? I'm ordering a pair from Aradani and I thought about painting them as well but I don't know which products are safe to use not to ruin them, like what paint/makeup/remover/soap etc? Thank you, love your cosplay!

Thanks so much for posting this! I wasn't sure if I wanted to order from Aradani for my ears, but they certainly seem like the way to go with this. I''m also really impressed by how natural you made those wigs look. I've tried once or twice, but wigs always feels and looks unnatural on me.

You have to select the color you want when you're ordering the ears, otherwise they'll send you the unpainted versions, and you'll have to paint them to match your skin. I always pick the "light" color for me.

Do darth maul, if you have my bad, I haven't seen it, if not I think it would be awesome, I think you were born to be an elf, elf ears fit you really well, great video, and I want to see you do darth maul lol

If you want them to match your skin color, order the colored ones. However, if you plan on painting them yourself (like I do with my drow and Night Elf), get the unpainted and paint them yourself. :)

Aradani sponsered the right person ^^ I like it how you enjoy wearing these costumes. There should be a City for people who wanna wear costumes in public every day so it isnt wierd anymore :D

I got these exact ears for Halloween this year but I was stressing because I haven't really used latex ears before. Thanks so much for this video, it's been really useful

if any of you guys are having trouble getting the spirit gum to work you are actually suppost to tap the spirit gum before you stick it 

omg, your cosplays are amazing! and those halfling ears are so CUTE! ^.^ now i wanna wear my elf ears again..... 0.o XD

I'm getting elf ears and theirs a choice of getting them painted or no paint. Do u get the paint ones if I want color

Nope! Not at all, in my experience. But I will say, if you get an itch in your ear, it can be really awkward. Lol!

Oh my goodness, yes! We NEED a city like that! And when this becomes a reality, I'm going to run for Mayor. :)

lol my fiancé steals my youtube channel to subscribe to you and watch your videos. Pretty neat stuff !

MAJORA'S MASK IS IN THE BACKGROUND!! Btw you did a great job

Also, why does it need to not be modeling clay

Ayyyee don't think I didn't see majoras mask 

Can you use modelling wax for this look?

Do you make jak and Dexter ears?

does this work for vulcan ears?

Seems real easy

Kendra!!! :o 

+Free wolf (katniss503) Probably not, especially if your ear cartilage is already formed.

sorry XD

Adrain van Zieler? It is Adrian von Ziegler     :P

So?

Thank you! I'll have to try that out!

Thank you
