Kingdom (comics)

Kingdom is a comic series created by Dan Abnett and Richard Elson and published in 2000 AD starting in 2006.

The story revolves around a genetically modified dog named after Gene Hackman. A sequel The Promised Land (2007–2008) tells the story of Gene Hackman's encounter with a community of humans living in a compound which they call the Promised Land.

Plot

Kingdom centres on Gene the Hackman, a genetically modified dog, who is fighting an enemy known only as 'Them'. In the beginning Gene travels, constantly on patrol with the pack, an army that fights Them and follows the orders off a voice in their heads known as the urgings. Gene and his army encounter a myserious "Land Bridge" which inexplicaply seems to be made of earth hanging in the air. They conclude that "Them" created the bridge to invade other lands. They follow the bridge, but Gene's pack wants to go home and report to the "masters" presumed to be humans but later revealed to be mere robot servants. Soon the urgings disappear and the oldest member of the army Old Man Gary has no recollection of being without the voices. This causes conflict and the pack members who do not abandon Gene are eventually killed.

Paint

Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture to objects. Paint can be made or purchased in many colors—and in many different types, such as watercolor, synthetic, etc. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid.

History

In 2011, South African archeologists reported finding a 100,000-year-old human-made ochre-based mixture that could have been used like paint.Cave paintings drawn with red or yellow ochre, hematite, manganese oxide, and charcoal may have been made by early Homo sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago.

Ancient colored walls at Dendera, Egypt, which were exposed for years to the elements, still possess their brilliant color, as vivid as when they were painted about 2,000 years ago. The Egyptians mixed their colors with a gummy substance, and applied them separately from each other without any blending or mixture. They appear to have used six colors: white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green. They first covered the area entirely with white, then traced the design in black, leaving out the lights of the ground color. They used minium for red, and generally of a dark tinge.

Paint (software)

Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple computer graphics program that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program mainly opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and the Windows NT4 version did support the latter), PNG (without alpha channel), and single-page TIFF. The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For its simplicity, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Windows—introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time—and is still widely used for very simple image manipulation tasks.

History

Initial versions

The first version of Paint was introduced with the first version of Windows, Windows 1.0, in November 1985. It was a licensed version of ZSoft Corporation's PC Paintbrush, and supported only 1-bit monochrome graphics under a proprietary "MSP" format. This version was later superseded by Paintbrush in Windows 3.0, with a redesigned user interface, color support and support for the BMP and PCX file formats.
