Japanese crossword «Goat»

a very lively one

Very easy first half, very difficult second half to this puzzle.
Result is nice though: it looks like a very lively fellow.

That was sooooooooo hard! I started off without Xs and then had to add them but still struggled for a long time. Finally left it overnight and was able to finish up this morning. Great challenge!

Had to resort to Xs as well, but worth it - what a happy chappie! :)

Very good image.
