Found to have multiple solutions by maria.

Very nice, exquisite detail. Unfortunately, massivly too tall with multiple solutions.

Even assuming symmetry will not get you far enough in this puzzle (even though it has multiple solutions, so symmetry is not valid). It seems this one could be made to be solvable with some more work.

This is a really pretty design; maybe it could be turned sideways to help reduce the need for scrolling while solving? I know I did some symmetry/guessing, but liked it anyway. I would enjoy seeing more like this- thanks!

Cool puzzle, took some guessing but the image is awesome

The first thing I would suggest is to eliminate the single cell diagonal lines. This will always give you multiple solutions. For example, on rows 12 and 13 intersected with columns 21 and 22, two of those 4 cells are black R12C21 and R13C22. But logically, I could have just as easily filled in R12C22 and R13C21 and the number clues would still be satisfied; hence, the puzzle will have multiple solutions. Usually I try to make lines more solid by adding pixels. Keep trying at it. I would love to see this one as a unique solution.
