After Line Logic and careful color logic finishes all the red, leaving only some black at the bottom and the middle:#2: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 3, 2018
Look at the 2 in c20. If it were in r29-30 then rows 26-27 would both be forced right making a conflict in c22. Thus c20r29-30 must be white.

If the 5 in r30 were in c15-19, the 3s in r27 and r29 would both be forced right into c22 causing a conflict. So r30c15-19 must be white.
LL
If the 4 in r29 were in c23-26, it would force the 5 in r30 into c27-31 which would then leave no room for the 2 in r28. So the 4 cannot start in c23 and so r29c23 must be white.
LL to finish
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#3: Lollipop (lollipop) on Jul 4, 2018
Your intention to mislead worked perfectly. I had no idea where it was headed until I completed the last pixel. The solve was fun and the image is gorgeous. My idea of a perfect puzzle. Thanks, Joe.#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 4, 2018
I completed the top 2/3 OK but had to work at the rest. But I could see the fox ears and knew I had to finish because it is too cute. Love it. Wonderful puzzle.#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 4, 2018

Waaaa! Too cute! I could tell half way through that this would be a play on words, but I still enjoyed watching the little furball take shape. Totally. Rewarding. Image. (And great solve.)#9: Kai-Uwe Zickerick (conzick) on Jul 5, 2018
