Japanese crossword #8460

what on earth is this

This looks like a disease infested poodle, not a "hedgehog in the fog".

Never would have guessed. Looks more like a gift laden sheep covered in gore

Wolf after a meal?

random dots of colour do not a hedgehog make.

Nice try at the cartoon character. The orange color confused me a bit. For those who do not know the reference, google "hedgehog in the fog" images.

Yep, Google really helped.

Thanks for the tip, Ririka! I think maybe a brown pallet would've represented the idea better. Orange bits aren't really working as shading... Definitely looks more wolf than hedgehog, despite the quills sticking out the back. Interesting to do, puzzle-wise.

Regardless of what it is or isn't, it's hilarious.

Fun puzzle, but I was also surprised by the result! I think the image is a particularly difficult one to recreate in such a small nonogram. Good try though, and I enjoyed the puzzle. Thanks.

Aw! Is he lost?

I like the result. And the contrast between dark gray and orange is nice when solving it.

Yes, the orange is a bit strange, but looking at the Google images, I definitely can see it -- and I love the little bag tied in a bow.

looks like the character, but agree the orange is too bright, nice design otherwise, thanks

it's a cutie... Love the story!
