"Welcome to my 3D animation studio page. It is dedicated to artwork and design process behind the Vinny the Bug Man graphic novel adventure. As a touring author/artist, my journey takes me to a variety of locations from grade schools to middle schools, to bookstore signings, library GGI presentations, and other interesting venues. The children in the audience are enthusiastic readers of all levels looking for adventure and have plenty of interesting questions for a visiting author. The questions range from character issues, to future storyline direction and recently, a growing interest in the computer-generated illustration(CGI)."            Chet Spiewak(series creator, author & illustrator)

3D Design Process (Direct from the author)

"A little background information on what's involved in creating a 3D adventure" Most series began with an original idea, a cool concept or an exciting tale. Vinny the Bug Man was a combination of an idea for a story featuring an exterminator and some cool bug character sketches. Once the story sketches are finalize the series began to take shape. The 3D character were created from detailed cartoon sketches along with whimsical 3D bug worlds. At the same time the entire story was laid out in a comic and storyboard format, laying the ground work for the series and giving direction to this graphic novel adventure. "Take time to preview these pages and get a first hand look of what's involved in creating a cartoon series..."       

Bugs on Parade(future for goals)

The 3D workshop section is constantly evolving with new studio artwork, cartoon design concepts and storyline creation. As the catalog of sample grows so will the details on tips for creating storyboards for animated clips and comicbook pages. As the 3D animation software programs become more accessible to a younger audience look for flash animation tutorials on character creation, 3D texturing, set lighting and camera perspective. Every drawing, sketch and story idea plays an important role in creating this comic adventure. Design sketches serve as a framework for characters, storyboards, comic book pages, and coloring pages. With a strong foundation it's easy to build a great series using the latest CGI software packages.
