Tips for making ear large plugs/tunnels?

Apr 30, 2022

    1. I’m in the early stages of shelling (I think that’s the term) a potential new doll, but my OC he’s based off has rather large ear plugs/tunnels. I am unsure of how to go about it besides needling some sort of clay. My idea is to drop the lobe and plug below his actual ear and sculpt matching clay to resemble a stretched lobe, but I could really use some tips. I also have no clue what clay to use!

      Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
       
    2. There is a tutorial here on how to make one that isn't permanent :) /tutorials/non-permanent-tunnel-gouge-piercing-mod.18/

      Personally I would use polymer clay and glue it on like the tutorial since it looks as good as a permanent mod to me! But if you wanted it to be permanent I've seen people recommend milliputt and epoxy sculpt for additive mods like this
