Ear Styles: Hobbit Ears

by Jacqueline Whalen | Mar 3, 2019 | Cosplay Ear Styles, News

Here is my latest creation; hobbit ears, inspired by the halflings of middle earth. I wanted to create an ear closer to those envisioned for the movie characters but with my own interpretation. I try to balance a realistic design with the goal of achieving a universal fit.

Bilbo & Company

Whether you’re cosplaying Bilbo, Frodo, Sam Gamgee, Rosie or any hobbit, these are the ears for you! Plus they’re waterproof so they can withstand a ride on the river, even over a barrel.

Why Cast in Silicone

All of my ears are cast in silicone, this material offers several benefits. Silicone allows the flexibility to fit a good range of people, it looks super realistic, it’s waterproof and non-latex. I have designed these Hobbit Ears in two sizes: regular fit as well as a size for larger ears. As a general rule size regular fits teens and women and large is generally a better fit for men or larger ears. This is just a guideline and because of the flexibility of silicone there is some overlap in sizing.

Half-elf Ears:”Middle Earth” Cosplays

Elf Ear Styles for Middle Earth Elf Cosplay

We now offer Half-elf Ears that are absolutely perfect for most Lord of The Rings cosplays. Here is a little primer to assist you in your elf ear decisions. Many of the elves in LOTR sport pretty low profile ears. Legolas has very subtle ears, yet his father, Thranduil has more substantial elf ears. Legolas apparently takes after his mom, in regard to his ears and temperament.

Half-elf Ears Are Perfect For The Majority Of Middle Earth Elves

Our Half-elf Ears are both elegant and low profile and are the perfect choice for Arwen, Galadriel and Legolas cosplay. I am including some comparative photos with Middle Earth elves and various shots of our ears. These elven ears are understated, and very realistic, commonly mistaken for ear surgery. They are cast in silicone and hand painted in your choice of color; five stock skin-tones as well as color-match.

Classic Elf Ears Work Well for Characters With More Substantial Ears

Our Classic Elf Ears are a good choice for Thranduil and Tauriel cosplays. These ears are quite elegant as well, but are more substantial than the Half-elf style. Our elf ears, are cast in life-like silicone so the best choice for those with latex allergies. These recommendations are based on the Peter Jackson vision of Middle Earth, needless to say that if your creating your own Middle Earth elf the choice is up to you.

Ears For Other Middle Earth Characters

Hobbits have a larger somewhat rounded ear.Since originally posting I have added a Hobbit Ear design and there is a post dedicated to it. Heres a link. For Orc cosplays we have designed and offer Orc ears available in whatever shade you need from our shop.
