Transmission 14 - High Life - Section A

A new transmission, a new story and a new approach.
The previous story, Life Lessons, was the first story I fully created on my Samsung Tablet, using a single A4 page for each individual frame. Whilst good for detail it took as long as a page divided into several frames, and so, with this new story, I tried drawing a whole page made of several frames as another time-saving measure. Now, reformatting it for Tapas, I have chopped the page up into individual frames that seem a bit cruder than for the previous story. Still, despite the more basic look of some of the lines, I think the frames work overall. My favourite is the first frame which employs a 'dotty' form of rendering, something again borrowed from the old comic masters (thank you Frank Bellamy in particular).
Another new innovation I employed was the drawing app MediiBang Paint, which despite its slightly juvenile name, is a tremendously versatile and sophisticated tool which definitely gave my work an extra dimension as well as saving a lot of time (much quicker and intuitive than Adobe software). Also, about this time, I discovered the PicSay Pro lettering app, which again, despite seeming fairly basic (used by most people to add funny captions to their cat pictures, 'I haz a cheeseburger ... no sorry, it's a fur-ball') it is actually incredibly useful, adding an extra layer of professionalism or at least lettering gloss.
So all in all, this section and the story overall, show that a poor workman such as I, really thanks his tools!
The only other thing to say about this episode is that the ending is a bit abrupt. The next few sections have more of a definite end, so apologies if this episode seems to fizzle out. Stick with the story, you will be rewarded and all will make sense ... I hope!
