The Skyrim logo

after initial ll:

look at the two 7-clues in r47-48 - you should have 6 of the 7 pixels placed already for each one
they cant both extend to the right into c14 so at least one of them extends to the left into c7, making r47c7 always black
ll
similar logic to place the final 4 pixels remaining or you can just use a variation of smile logic to place them
no guessing
nice image and solve

Took me forever, but I was able to get it... (my brain isn't what it used to be). Nice puzzle.

Wow, that was a good mental exercise. A bit large, but nicely done, Katy.

Thanks for the hints, bugaboo. I needed that first bit of help to get me going.

I had no idea what Skyrim is, so I looked it up, for anyone else who may have also been in the dark. It's an action role-playing video game called The Elder Scrolls V.

Very nice image, but too big for me.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

Nice puzzle.

Skyrim has to be one of the funnest games ever. I love really huge single player games like Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto, Fallout, etc.

There are youtube videos of people trying to make out the lyrics of the skyrim theme song, which is sung by a goth choir in a language made up for the game. Subtitles of people's guesses are on the videos, and many are pretty funny. (it's along the lines of the "bad lip reading" videos)

There is one that starts "Dovakiin, Dovakiin, not a single sardine" that is in my head now every time I start the game.

Very Nicely done. Great puzzle.

fine. solved bylogic alone. thanks

Nice puzzle!
