I really did not want to use UVW mapping on the ear, as it caused me so many problems before.
I managed to get a decent UVW map of the ear, so I was more open to making a UVW mapping. I then transferred this to photoshop, and then pasted the image of my ear over the top.
The above image, was the image of my ear that I used. As i used this as a reference place all the curves and bulges should be in the same place.
When I applied the material to the ear, it would only work when it was tiles loads. So basically my UVW mapping once again had failed to work, I spent hours with different methods trying to get the texture to work.
In the end I had to basically choose a color that matched the face, it does not look perfect but it is the best that I could come up with. Once there is lighting added and shadows, also if i successfully manage to add some hair using the hair and furr modifier. Then it should cover the ridge and make the head look better overall.

The blog that you see before you is an online thinking place for all my University Work. Before you laugh most of it contains 3D work, which I would not call my best area of expertise!! I am a 2D Illustrator at heart but love to try out new stuff and see what else I can create.
