Puzzle Description:

I hope that you can tell that it's a skunk

I was able to solve completely without guessing. Nice image. It was clear what it was.

An exceptional puzzle. You've captured the shape of the skunk nicely, and the implied contrast with the fragrance of the flowers is a great twist!

Thank you!

Actually, I just added the flowers to break up the green, but I did think about the contrast after I added them.

Wonderful image, very recognizable. I couldn't figure out any edge logic at the end on the black in the upper right, but I was able to guess using visual cues.

Darling skunk! The stink waves took some trial and error, but I was finally able to solve them logically.

after line logic:
get the smile logic on the little bit in the upper left corner out of the way
then 2-way logic on the 1 clue in r10 (no matter whether it goes in c29 or c32 you can dot r9c30-31,33
more line logic
then look at the 3 clue in c23; no matter whether it goes in r1-3 or in r5-7, r5c22 is always black
more line logic
the black pixels in r5c22 and r7c22 are both part of 2 clues in their respective rows but they cant both go into c21 so at least 1 goes into c23 (so you can completely place the 3 clue in c23
more line logic
2-way logic on the 5 clue in c30 to dot r3c33 (this doesnt really help though)
my best option for solving the very last bit was trying edge logic on the 3 clue in c29 but it seemed like it was more than a 2-move look-ahead
i am sure there is a truly logical way to get the last bit solved (with how the 3-5-3 clues must go in c29-31)

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Continuing from where you left off:

Two-way logic on the 1 clue in row 10 again makes R8C30 always black (2 move look-ahead). Line logic to finish.

Yes, you can tell it's a skunk.....the fumes and the white stripes are amazing!

No guessing, great image, and love the odor squiggles.
