After the line logic which completes most of the puzzle except for the facial details, I was able to do a 2 move look ahead in row 27 to make R27C28 a dot. A little more line logic.

Next either R17C31 or R18C31 will have to be a dot. This makes either R17C26 or R18C26 a black. So in either case, R18C26 will have to be black. The rest solves with line logic.

Fantastic puzzle!

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Nice change from the usual jack-o'-lanterns and spiders; thanks for a interesting image!

outstanding puzzle, fun solve. here's what i did after line logic:

- whether C16R27 or C22R27 are black, C16R28 is black.
- line logic
- edge logic on the 3 in C26 looking at C31 dots C26R21-25
- line logic
- edge logic on the 3 in C30 looking at C29 dots C30R24-25

i don't see two-move look-ahead, but i'm often mistaken about what is a move ;)
