Puzzle Description:

Started off as a self portrait - doesn't look a whole lot like me now - I've been updating it to make it require less guessing

Whether or not it looks like you, it's a nice picture.

I agree the end result is nice. I did have to guess though...did I do something wrong somewhere or miss something?

I would like to see that you keep working on it to make it solvable, it's a nice image.

Found to require some guessing by Gator.

More pixels are needed to make this solvable. You can get all but part of the eyes and nose with just logic.

Don't know what they are talking about - totally solvable without any guessing - great puzzle.

Could not get the nose, otherwise it is an awesome image.
#12: Liz P (Lizteach) on Jun 4, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]
This was solvable with a little bit of internal edge logic in r12 by (her) right eye. Otherwise it was all line and color logic.

Lovely image. :)

J, this is an excellent puzzle. The image is beautiful. The solving was challenging without being frustrating - great fun. I appreciate your working on it to make it solvable.

I love your puzzles and hope you make some more for us. :-)

Fantastic. Thank you
#15: Luis Cavazos (luishifto) on Sep 10, 2019
This is logically solvable. Great image.

This was my second try. Beautiful puzzle. No guessing this time, but lots of hard concentration.
#17: Gator (gator) on Nov 23, 2020 [HINT]
Most of the puzzle solves with line/color logic except for part of the nose and the left side (her right) eye.

If you assume that R11C20-21 are dots, this would force R26-27C20-21 (4 cells) to be black. But that would make R26 invalid, so R11C20-21 have to be black. The rest solves with line logic.

Sorry it took me 11 years to rate the solvability on this.
#18: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 23, 2020
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

solved. logically, except one revert at the end.
