Puzzle Description:

Kinda looks like a bird on a perch. Trying to create more completely blotted puzzles.

the blue in c-6 won't color the aquares for me
#2: Gator (gator) on Jul 30, 2012
I think you have to go to the Options and turn off the don't use colors that are already complete or whatever it is called.

^what Gator said

"When cycling cell colors,skip colors for which enough cells have already been set"
#4: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jul 30, 2012
It is amazing that you can create a solvable puzzle with all the clues blotted. Good job.
#5: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 30, 2012
Now you just have to create one that looks like something too.

I may have fixed the bug with not being able to paint cells blue after a while.

thx Gator]
lol Jan
#7: Gator (gator) on Jul 30, 2012
Jan - yeah, that's a lot harder than it sounds. :)

Thanks for fixing the bug.

I hate the blots!!!!!!
#9: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Jul 31, 2012
Luckily, they're clearly marked with a black square, so you can avoid them.

Parrot maybe?
#11: Tara Pibel (tarap56) on Jul 31, 2012 [SPOILER]
Toucan?
#12: Ellen Vollor (evollor) on Aug 1, 2012
My colors don't match up. I have 3 blacks on the left and 4 on the top, same with the blue, 4 on the left and 2 on the top. I cannot finish this.

Nice effort, Gator. Not enthralled and it seems like it will be the flavor of the month.
#15: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Aug 2, 2012
(singing) I loooooove the blots!
#16: Jota (jota) on Aug 2, 2012
This was easy for me! I'm I weird?

This was my second blotted puzzle to solve. When I looked at the title (and author), I thought it would be very hard.

After looking at the clues for a minute, I realized it wasn't. I solved it KRGBW.

It is a very good depiction of a hunchback toucan.
#18: Gator (gator) on Aug 2, 2012
Yeah, I may abandon trying to create the completely blotted puzzles. Much harder to create than to solve, and what's the fun in that?
#19: Tom King (sgusa) on Aug 3, 2012
I did the old lady in the shoe, and it took me two days to solve it. I much prefer, and apreciate your 20x or 15x B&W
#20: Jota (jota) on Aug 3, 2012
There's fun in everything Gator!
#21: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 3, 2012
I wouldn't mind seeing you make a few more - maybe there's a new sort of Blot-Logic out there, waiting to be discovered.
#22: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 5, 2012
I'm a blot fan! I enjoy the little extra twist, seems to wake up a few formerly unused brain cells. :-)

It's very hard to make a completely blotted puzzle that actually looks like something. Good Job!
But why not fit it in a 5x5 grid?
#24: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Aug 10, 2012
Gator explains that in another puzzle. The clues got crowded on his browser, so he added the extra white border.
#25: Gator (gator) on Aug 10, 2012
Yeah, you actually cannot see all of the clues in order to blot them out.
#26: Jan Wolter (jan) on Aug 11, 2012
That's in the puzzle editing mode.

Well, it doesn't look like a bird to me, but I did enjoy solving the puzzle.
