Manuel Graphics Blog of Progress

Hey People. I am a Graphic Educator and founder of Manuel Graphics. This where I am just going to post some things I do in my spare time, basically progress. (If any is being made)

[maannuuell]

Wow, long time no see. Just thought I would post some of my newest pieces over here. I was very happy with both of them, I thought the modelling of the human was definitely a challenge and the X-Wing’s outcome was very nice, one of my best I think.

[maannuuell]

So back again, this time with my newest piece, called Spring. As usual it was all modelled in Blender and I added the colour corrections and effects in Photoshop. I am really happy with the results. This whole piece was inspired by the blooming of Cherry Blossoms. Enjoy!

[maannuuell]

I was watching a tutorial on how to make flat landscapes in Photoshop and this was the outcome. I really like the style and how it turned out. Maybe I will make somethings more like this in the future. Overall I think it is an awesome style. Enjoy!

[maannuuell]

Some thing a little abstract, I really tried to work on my skills in the compositor and also the post production. Altogether I thought it turned out really good.

Another small piece, a little camp site. Enjoy!

Have another low poly piece.

[maannuuell]

Hello and Welcome in this tutorial we will be learning how to create this really awesome Low Poly Icy World in Blender and then we will be applying some effects and colour correction in Gimp. The tutorial is quite long but well worth your time. You can always pause the video and come back to it.

Well, here it is have a cool little low poly icy world. All modelled in Blender and then the snow effects, that light and colour correction all added in Photoshop.

I will be making a tutorial of this soon but you lucky Tumblr followers get to see this piece first.

So this is basically, a effect I made in Gimp, I call it 'Sunburn' or 'Sunburnt' effect. A pretty nice effect if I don't say so myself. Just some simple gradients and some layer modes changes to get the effect.

Again just a bit of practice modelling, getting good at my own techniques. The technique I used for this one is the same one as last time so enjoy.

[maannuuell]

Ok, so I have been working on a new technique, this one is to model Low Poly animals. I think this one turned out very nice, I am very happy with the results, maybe I should have added more detail to the scene but overall the main focus is on the animal itself. I probably will be making more of these using the same technique of course. My last post was made using a tutorial, I found over on youtube. Looking at the piece I am very impressed with the final product.

I added a few colour corrections and effects in Photoshop after the render was complete, just to give some extra depth to the animal. I used some Curves and Brightness & Contrast Adjustments, then added a Full Saturation Spectrum Gradient to the piece to give the animal some colour.

You can achieve something like this in my most recent tutorial: http://youtu.be/h5gGkHMBLIU?list=UUMa6fnniydwjyNLlKahNhjA

Enjoy!

[maannuuell]

This is just some practice modelling, learning some new stuff. Still in the low poly style, I used a tutorial to make. It was pretty hard to make when the tutorial was in French but anyway the main point was learning some new techniques.

Store - Manuel Graphics

Head over to the Manuel Graphics store to get my new Seaside Branding Pack.

[maannuuell]

Hello and welcome to a very long awaited tutorial (I think). Another logo (more of an avatar tutorial) tutorial. Well I definitely think this is a very nice, simple and clean logo. The tutorial itself contains quite a few techniques that you might not know. Please bare with me throughout the tutorial (because it is flipping 20 mins long). The final product is well worth your time. Enjoy!
