I couldn't guess what it was until I saw the description, then the image was clear as day. Good job!#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 23, 2018

I saw a human diving underwater, with one really fat leg (upper right) and holding a spear (lower right). I couldn't really make out a head. After I read the description, it made a lot more sense. :)#5: Wombat (wombatilim) on Apr 11, 2023 [HINT]
Initial LL completes 15%.#6: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Apr 11, 2023
R1: EL marks C19-20 white. Wherever else the 2 goes, R2C1 is white.
C19: EL marks R26-30 white. LL.
C18: EL marks R27-30 white.
C17: EL marks R29-30 white.
R28: EL marks C6-12 white. LL.
C19: EL marks R8-10 and R24-25 white. LL.
R29: If the 2 uses C5, R27 will be invalid, so R29C5 is white. Minimal LL.
C19: If the 6 is placed in R2-7, R16-20 C17 would all need to be black, making C17 invalid.
LL to finish.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
