Fun to solve. Thought it was an abstract design at first. The leading couple looks like one person with 3 legs. Otherwise, quite fun. Unique subject.#2: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Feb 14, 2020

LL/CL leaves only black, mostly on the left.#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Feb 14, 2020 [SPOILER]
EL 8 r5 = c16-17 white
LL
EL 8 r5: With the 7 in r6, the 8 *must* cross the 1 in c13 or the blob in c12 (which would have to be a 1). Therefore its maximum range is [c5-c15] and so c11-12 must be black.
LL
EL 8 r5: its range is now down to [c6-15], so c13 must be black.
LL
EL 2 r 6 = c16-17 w
LL to finish

This made me laugh. It's so bizarre, I love it. Very clever, Travis.
