I wanted to try and make a more difficult puzzle than I have before.
To solve this I needed to use edge logic and 2 way logic.

Wow, this was tough! Last bit that got it for me was finding some two-way logic in column 15. Nice image!
#5: Emimonster (Emimonster) on Apr 16, 2021
No guessing was required for me when I test solved it. You will need to use interior edge logic + two way logic.

Great challenge! Wonderful image!

Not sure that all of these are necessary, but here are all of the advanced moves I made:

- working bottom to top, EL dots C1-5R45-50
- EL to see where 5 in R50 can go makes C14R50 black
- whether C1R35 or C15R35 is black, C15R34 is black
- the 14 clues in R34&35 can't both pass through C21, so at least one of them must go into C7. either way C7R34 will be black
- IEL dot C5R18-21
- whether C3R29 or C8R29 is black, C3R30 will be black

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by dbouldin.

Excellent puzzle. Thanks

This was fun! Very tough.
#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 22, 2021
Very tough solve. I did need to guess at least twice. I see the face but since I don't know the character, I don't know what that is behind the head. It does make it more fun to solve when there is a lot of detail, and if I knew the character I probably would understand the image better. Thanks for all the work.

BlackCat, I posted a photo in comment #9. She's wearing a wolf pelt with ears and a primitive face attached.
