Charlie McCarthy Reproduction

Here is an email with photos that came to us at Ventriloquist Central.

Hello!

Really enjoy your blog. Just thought you might like to see a pic of the Charlie McCarthy reproduction I’m working on, based on the Smithsonian Charlie. I still have a lot of fine-tuning to do, but I’m quite happy with the way he’s turning out, especially having never sculpted anything in my life. To create the image you see here, I took a photo of my Charlie, with hat and monocle, then used photoshop to add eyes and paint him. When I actually paint him, I’ll be able to add the proper texture, etc. I live 2 hours from Washington, D.C., so it’s been great to really study him in-person.

I have a question for you. I’m assuming his eyes are fixed and the only moving feature would be his mouth. Is that correct? I’ve never seen video/film of Charlie’s eyes moving.

Hope you enjoy!

Best,

~Chris Alan

    Chris did a great sculpting job likeness of the Charlie at the Smithsonian. Chris really captured “the Charlie face”.
