Lovely pose. It's a-a-almost a logical solve. You just need to go back into Edit mode and Toggle Alternate Solutions, under the Check feature.#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 19, 2019

perfect!#5: derby (Derby) on Nov 20, 2019
That's one of the most frustrating parts about puzzle creation. You get the lines just right, but then you have to decide which ones to change so the puzzle solves.
I agree, and generally I don’t like the image as much after it is changed. Thanks for your comments.#6: Jota (jota) on Nov 20, 2019
Nice pose!#7: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 22, 2019
I thought it was a strange mountain until I finished, and then the image popped!#8: Wombat (wombatilim) on Dec 24, 2022 [HINT]
C38: EL confirms the blacks in R10-11 must be part of the 3, and therefore R9C38 is black.
C37: EL confirms the black now in R9 must be part of the 4.
C37: If the 3 is placed in R21-23, it causes a contradiction in C36, therefore these squares are black.
I'm seeing a couple of other moderate lookahead spots but nothing that's proving particularly useful right now. Tabling this one for now.
