Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for producing a character sculpture, wherein, when a user selects a predetermined image among 3-dimensional (3D) images with various garments or body-shapes stored in a database, it is capable of sculpturing a character sculpture corresponding to a mixed image of a user's face, adding an animation function to the mixed image, and outputting the animated image to a mobile phone, etc. The character sculpture producing apparatus includes a keyboard through which a user may input an operation signal; a scanner for scanning a corresponding object and outputting scanned data; a database for storing a 3D image having various body-shapes or garments and an expression image which is capable of being replaced with each part of a body; a control unit for converting the scanned data inputted from the scanner into 3D data, creating a scanned image, mixing the scanned image with the 3D image and expression image which are read from the database, and creating a sculptured image; a display for displaying the scanned image or the sculptured image under control of the control unit; and a 3D sculpturing device for engraving materials under control of the control unit, and producing a character sculpture corresponding to the sculptured image.
