I am pasty
These came in one color
Time to contact cosplay friends I know irl about making the ears be less of a different color

[Kory]

When I had my own elf ears, I just used liquid foundation and concealer in my skin tone and I used a little bit of a darker color to accent the folds in the ears. (Sorry, can't think of a better way to explain!)

[Kitalpha Hart]

Considering how massive the skin tone difference between me and the ears are, and the fact that I don't really know makeup, I'm definitely gonna get one of my irl cosplaying friends to help me with this

Derpy and his new animal friends...lol

+1 to recommendation of using makeup to cover up the base color of the ear / blend in with natural skin tone.

[Witchchylde]

I think I would airbrush those first in a flat white to diffuse the main color, then use a pale rose pink to accent, and possibly faint lavender lines for vein tracery.

So, I don’t have any experience w airbrushing or makeup, but I know a couple things about skintones. Here’s what I would do, in theory; in practice, I have no idea if this would work.

1.) cover the whole thing in matte white primer
2.) cover the whole thing again in a very pale slightly yellow-ish peach; this should be as close as possible to your base undertone, the parts that aren’t rosy. For me, my thighs are the best option for finding a relatively large swath of undertone.
3.) airbrush patchy light pinks in multiple layers to mimic skin texture; use your own skin, esp your ears, as a guideline.
4.) add a tiny bit of lavender, also in layers, to parts that are more shadowed.

This is the wreath I made for my Slytherin dad for Christmas a couple years ago. :] He was really happy about it and told me he loves the way it looks. ^-^

You can't really see the snake in the wreath tho, unfortunately. <:/ I'd have to get a close up pic of it, since I painted it green and black. But he put it away in a bin for the year until Christmas comes around again, so these are the only pics for the moment. <x/

(That snake skin on the wall is from his neighbor in Arizona btw, and it was from a Mojave Green Rattlesnake...just uh fyi.)

[Kaderin Triste]

Looks really cool, Mer! Though tbh, I would have probably pegged it more as generally a woodsy wreath rather than Slytherin specifically... ;>.>

[Merskelly Metalien]

Thanks. :]
Yeh, I think my dad really pays more attention to woodsy, rustic, country sort of décor, so his is much more nature oriented. ^-^
Wish I could show the snake, and the Slytherin pin on the green ribbon in the back tho. :/

"Gotta stay warm in winter!" Derpy wiggles deeper into the blanket.
