These are POV-Ray renders.  The left-most image is the original mesh. 
Going to the right are the results of one, two, and three subdivisions 
of the surface.  The top row shows flat polygons, and the bottom shows 
smoothed ones.  The surface subdivision process uses my Surface 
Subdivision Suite (www.geocities.com/evilsnack/nsss.htm), and the 
modeler is designed to export POV-Ray code that works with it.

The modeler has a mirroring function (one copies with negative scaling 
along one or more axes).  I think the thing started as a cylindrical 
mesh, which I edited heavily.  The left ear was created by mirroring the 
right.

And, while making the ear, I found another minor bug in the modeler...

John
