PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on textless & published cover art to "STAR TREK: Year Five" Vol. 1 #1. April, 2019. IDW Publishing. Artwork by Greg Hildebrandt (reportedly Greg's first ST piece EVER, and created at a then sprightly 80 years old).

Q: "How well did you know the original "STAR TREK" series? What did/do you appreciate most about it?"

GREG HILDEBRANDT: "So, when it first aired, I saw every episode. In those days, I knew it well. Today, I am not sure I could give you specific information on episodes, with the exception of a few. But as far as what I appreciate most about it is something I certainly can still remember. It was always so thoughtful as far as the story content was concerned. Science fiction has always been used as a tool to comment on our world.

Sci-fi writers disguised our world in the fantastic to make it more interesting as a vehicle to make us look at ourselves. Right off the bat, I could see that this new space opera was going to attack social, political, religious and racial issues. Which to me was art operating on its highest plain. So, I was thrilled to see it become a cult classic and go into syndication. I knew at that point it would be around to make an impact on many generations to come."

hhhhhhhhrugh regressuary in two days

[three-headed-monster]

i promise i’m not trying to pick the debate back up again, i just feel like it’s worth highlighting the fact we're 12 games into an 82 game season! the sabres are far from the only team with players having a bit of a sleepy start (noted 50 goal scorer zach hyman has the exact same amount of goals and assists as jack quinn; elias pettersson on a $92M contract and dylan cozens each have 1 goal and 3 assists). regardless of all the couch GMs trying to sit quinn for (checks notes) missing two shots recently, he definitely improved since the start of the season; the first 6 games, he’s been absolutely invisible! now you notice him out there. lindy deploys him like he believes that too, so personally, i’m not too worried :) it’s all coming together (it might happen faster if lindy picks a line and Sticks with it, though!) (that line being anything but kulich - cozens - quinn. i feel like we’ve exhausted that!) (personally i’d give the kid line an HONEST go, or put him on the third line with greenway and mcleod. and for god’s sake, lindy, don’t move dylan to the wing! you know that's not it, lindy!)

no you're so right anon, i agree with this completely!

i mean, i know it looks really dire because the team is 4-7-1 and that's not exactly a recipe for a winning team, but i think sabres fans often get so caught up with how bad the sabres are that they FORGET to look around and see what the rest of the league is doing. like the vancouver canucks were legitimately running lines yesterday, and no sabres fan has been talking about how they've been kind of abysmal to start the year too.

this team is the youngest team in the entire nhl, at like 25 years of age. i'm fairly sure they have one man over the age of 30 and that's zucker. they're going to be streaky and not always have it every night, because they're young, and they don't always know how to bring it every night. that's how young teams ARE. the toronto maple leafs who MADE THE PLAYOFFS in 2017 were literally EXACTLY THAT, and yet i see no one mentioning it.

teams go through ups and downs, and yeah it sucks, but i feel like the 14 year no playoff streak is clouding our judgement and making it seem like these guys are older than they are. like dylan cozens has been in the league half a decade but he's 23 because he started when he was a literal teenager. over and over we've seen that you can't expect every single draft pick to break out right away, especially since the pandemic stunted everyone's growth for like 2 years. same thing with jack quinn, i think you can reasonably expect two major traumatic injuries to kind of mess with someone's development.

the problem is, and always has been, with patience. sabrestwt lovesssss to talk about how management had no patience during the eichel years and made too many moves, without realizing they talk the EXACT same way NOW. and they don't even recognize it! lindy had no patience with dylan's line (which again has not been the same for more than 2 games in a row), and they want to move jack quinn for what? a second line winger? when no one is trading second line wingers right now, and we ALL know he's going to breakout and be a star when he's gone? and with devon and upl, literally NO ONE was talking about how it might not be good to have them be a tandem this summer, until they had a couple bad games and now suddenly we need to sell the farm for a goalie.

it sucks not to win. it does. but so does making rash decisions and idk it's not like the sabres haven't seen the negative consequences of that before

Robert Sugden: Karl Davies (2005 - FINAL YEAR!)

[severussnapedamagedlove]

FINALLY UPDATED !!!!

An unusual sunny day split the frigid Scotland highlands. Hogwarts castle was given the briefest glimpse into spring, despite the chill that still rode on its breath. The sunlight warmed the air. Wind died to nothing but a soft whisper.

The Viaduct courtyard was filled with stone. It was still rather cold. Their gray surfaces prevented the sun’s hold on the air. Pockets, once stepped inside, chilled to the bone with a rather sharp edge.

The fifth year Slytherins were gathered beneath a warming charm spread on the grass. It was large enough they all held their own space with a short stone bench for the wizards (mainly Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle) to lean against to chat. They talked Quidditch, the players, the gear, the professional leagues, the amateurs, the World Cup they’d all attended the year prior.

Hermione was on the blanket’s edge, nearest the bench, but still plenty away from Draco that he could not overlook her shoulder to spy on what she wrote.

A letter was beneath her quill. It was broken pieces of conversation, personal and explanatory as much as she could manage to Viktor. He’d asked about her friends and their year. Her correspondence was monitored. There was no true information she could relay to her friend that would impart any enlightenment. Still, she yearned to confide in him.

The battle for this purist ideology was not regional; the wizarding world was stained with its dark.

She relayed the bits of news that were common enough knowledge: Harry’s ban from Quidditch, the article, the low quality of their DADA class. Her palm found strength to write that there were impending changes that she felt still yet to come. He had no idea what that meant. The shudder of her breath as she stared at those handwritten words did alleviate the tension of such anxiety that she did not breathe word to aloud.

There was a split in her seams that she felt grown over the year. The change in the world did not compare to the fragments of her inner self that were transfiguring.

Her eyes drifted over to Draco as he smiled, joked with his friends, so carefree and happy. For once.

He had not been so in a long while. The pompous entitled prat that was so content in his life that he taunted others for being so miserable was not the facade he wore. No longer was he so unmarked by the climate. It’d taken hold of him, too.

Pansy and Millicent lounged out on the blanket. Pansy’s long slender legs hanged over Millicent’s thighs as her neck craned back to absorb all the sun she could. Her upturned short nose caught the gleam of sunlight.

Blaise Zabini and Theo Nott were there. Each had their legs crossed below.

Dark serious eyes read through a school textbook: charms. His neatly trimmed nails tapped the hardback as he read.

The other wizard twirled his wand above his head. Smokey white circles crafted in the air as he worked. A goofy grin emerged on his face, with the tip of his tongue poked from the corner of his mouth, when the clouds took shape to a Quidditch pitch.

Draco took notice. He perked with interest.

Goyle and Crabbe followed suit, excited.

Theo looked to Blaise at his side with an open mouth when the wizard said through very calm tones with words that were the opposite of calm. He assured Theo that for every bit of smoke that touched him, he’d repay the favor in a very different way.

It caused the wizard to jump to his feet. “Alright then. We’ll move.”

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why
