Ears or flaps?

Because the Lovik figure is so cartoon-like, I made the ears without a lot of detail. I plan to paint in some detail, but not much. To make the ears, I cut the shape from a rubber-like foam, hot glued them to the head, then covered the foam with Magic-Sculpt. Using a foam underlayer helps keep the weight down.

I've also covered the brass eyebrow rods with Magic-Sculpt. Usually I score the Magic-Sculpt to mimic the texture of hair, but in keeping with the smooth cartoon character theme, I left the eyebrows smooth, too.

Next, I choose and apply a wig.
