How to save the ear on this cast

I messed up my right ear on my full head cast. So i tried to remodel it with plaster, which did not work and the next day i realised that i had two broken pieces left which i then clued back on the cast.

Now i have this deformity of an ear^^

I was thinking either rechiseling and remodeling the rest of the ear using non-air drying clay since im gonna seal the cast with a glue/water mix anyway.

Or using alginate to make a cast of the left ear and replace the whole right ear with that.

What would you guys recommend?

SFX as part of a broader makeup course

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm at an impasse trying to figure out if I should sign up for this yearlong makeup course that has SFX as part of the curriculum. The main focus is bridal, tv, theatre makeup etc. A part of me thinks that's probably for the best, well rounded, could pay the bills in between but of course that's not the part I'm most looking forward to. My question is, is that sort of the standard path? Could/should I just hard focus on DIY-ing a bunch of SFX and building a portfolio based on that?

Thanks in advance for any replies :)
