Fear the ear

I don't think there's a more difficult anatomical feature to sculpt than the ear. Seems like every time I meet someone, I stare at their ears. And I'm always amazed at the variety of shapes and sizes.  

I've made lots of cartoony ears. But a somewhat realistic ear has eluded me. Today I made my best effort yet on my full-size Otis. I need to do some slight modifications after the PaperClay dries. But I think I got a lot closer this time. It'll be real interesting to see if I can sculpt the mirror image on the left ear.
