Strangeness in sample

post #546235
The thumbnail and the scaled-down view of the pic have black splotches across various parts of the pic.
However, the full view shows up fine, as do both the full-sized and small-sized versions on pixiv.

Can anyone clue me in as to what's going on with this?

I think the black splotches are transparencies. Transparencies show up as solid blocks of color on thumbnails, just like the thumbnails of those with the tag "transparent background."

Cases in point: post #503404 and post #508336. Their thumbnails have splotches of black as well.

The image is a png, so it's just some transparency the artist didn't fill in.

Ah, I see. Thanks.
