Fawn ears in silicone

After Alana and I crewed on a short film today I came back and painted the fawn ears that I had cast in silicone (Ecoflex 00-50). I hand painted the ears using Fuse FX's line of silicone paints. I'm pleased with how they came up after adding some veins and freckles.

Previously I had sculpted the ears onto an Ultracal 30 positive using Klean clay. Rows of Ultracal ears:

I then fashioned a simple pour mould and made two negative moulds of the sculpted fawn ears. The basic idea was to make a mould that I could use the original positive of Alana's ear to get a near perfect fit with her real ear and the prosthetic appliance. Sculpted fawn 'ear extensions' about to be cast:

I ended up with two pinkysil moulds into which I poured the Ecoflex 00-50 tinted with Fuse FX S-304 (Med. Olive Flesh) after applying a homemade release agent. Ecoflex 00-50 sets relatively quickly in about 4 hours. I was then able to pull two sets of fawn ears. Fawn ears fresh out of the mould:
The closer ones I have washed, cleaned up lines and patched a bit with some tinted ecoflex. The edges aren't perfect at the back but do provide a good fit to Alana's ears. Hopefully I'll be able to blend the edges in the finished effect.
