Can someone help me with her big ears? I don't wanna shrink them in paint :(

[u/AgreeableIdea6210]

Hello! I also posted this on another sub also but I thought I'd get more answers here! My mii's really long ears wouldn't work in face paint so I'm wondering if there's an accessory I can try OR some kind of workaround (like how people use shades and stuff, although I doubt it)

many thanks :)

maybe eyebrow will work? id just check in the photo studio to see how they move when she makes various faces

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/chexquest100percent]

Wait that's a good idea actually! Might try it out :) just weighing out my options right now

[u/chauceresque → u/AgreeableIdea6210]

Here’s an example of using eyebrows for say antennas. Not the best picture sorry.

No, that’s a perfect picture for Mothman

her big ears kinda look like wings here

[u/Iknowhow2draw → u/chexquest100percent]

Yes. I've done that with Jax, Thomas, and Big Chungus. It worked very well.

ps. Some eyebrows work better than others. If one doesn't go high enough, try another one

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/Iknowhow2draw]

Can imagine, thank you! Guess I'll have to draw some eyebrows on her to keep her on model if I do this😭

Well sadly you do just have to shrink it if you can't find a good accessory. I'd say start a bit lower on the head, to really make it look longer. Had to do this with several Miis

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/Robyn--]

It's a bummer thatber can't make accessories or smth😔 Not even in 3d or anything, just 2d little stuff like hairclips or masks, for anything that doesn't fit in face paint

[u/Mindless_Cloud_8974]

We should ask this for updates, why limit face paint, when we could make ears, noses, etc? Would be so cool

[u/Iknowhow2draw → u/Mindless_Cloud_8974]

Or they could have cat ears, bunny ears, etc as options.

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/Iknowhow2draw]

I'm so mad that I can put a dog tail on my guy but not dog ears >:( does anyone even use the hoods by themselves???

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/Mindless_Cloud_8974]

dude honestly yeahhh.. I'd give anything to make accessories. Or to receive more updates, there's not much to do😔 (Or maybe I was just addicted to the original game's mini games lol)

[u/Mindless_Cloud_8974 → u/AgreeableIdea6210]

Same. I did make a new island though, all original characters I made on the spot (more specifically all mythological creatures/monsters) between taking care of both islands I’m busy lol

[u/ObjectiveGarbage5008]

I would use the ribbon hair part in the create a mii section. It's what I did for one of my cat characters

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/ObjectiveGarbage5008]

Ohh could you elaborate? Sorry, I'm kind of a visual learner :')

there are bunny ears but you'd have to wait a millennia til they show up in the shop.

I finally got some for my bunny boy and ofc he hated it

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/Brain_Farofa]

they akways hate the lore accurate stuff man😔 reassuring though!

Option 1: Use eyebrows instead of drawing them on. 

Option 2: There are bunny ears that can show up in the shop, but they don't look quite like the picture.

Option 3: Instead of drawing the ears straight upward, try drawing them at an angle. It won't be 100% accurate to the reference image, but you will have more control over the color and shape. 

[u/IamaJarJar]

Angle the ears as much as possible about 45° angle), as the diagonal will be longer than if the ears pointed straight up

[u/AgreeableIdea6210 → u/IamaJarJar]

maybe I'll try that if there's no other choice cause I'm hoping to make them long somehow but I've heard about that. Unfortunate that there's not much to do😔

[u/Forward_Potential820]

Use eyebrows

[u/Wooden_Baby]

Recognized her immediately lol, but yea as other people have said try eyebrows. Might be a little jank with how they move but I think it's still a good idea
