[Puzzle] A Puzzle a Day #22 - Back to the Classics (Nonograms)

Closed

The Nonogram, a type of logic picture puzzle, has been a recurring staple for the sg puzzle community. Here's one by Award, another by Loiten, and I had one of my own for my group puzzle from last year.

Start

Rules:
Do not share answers, hints, giveaway links, the name of the giveaway or generally spoil the puzzle in any form.

If you solve at least half (15) of the puzzles, you will get an invite to a private giveaway when the A Puzzle a Day series concludes. I'll try to pick something that no one has already, but no guarantees. Please make a parent post in the giveaway to be counted. Also, to be invited to the bonus giveaway, post in A Puzzle a Day #30 with the puzzles you have solved. You are not required to solve the puzzles before the giveaways end. Solving them at any point in time will count towards the 15 required puzzles.

Solution:
Oops, I lost the solution image, but I can just describe it. Once you solve the nonogram, there should be a squiggly line on the bottom and 10 characters. Just take the characters that would follow the line to get to the giveaway.

I have some kind of Picross game for DS. It's extremely fun and always a challenge.

You might need to do some interpretations, but everything should be mostly clear, except for possibly the 7th character (which is not a 6)

Solved, but not sure what I'm looking at. I don't think I know a place that needs this many characters.

Got the puzzle solved but I can't figure out what the last character is supposed to be.
But brute forcing doesn't work so I'm apparently interpreting something wrong also.

Hint: You only need 5 of the characters and you don't need to brute force.

How long do we have? After looking at it I can tell it's going to take me a while.

Solved the nonogram, but not sure how to deal with the characters, or what a few of them are.

Solved the nonogram, but no luck with the code... 5 and 7 characters are pretty unreadable.
Well i give up, when i'll wake up it'll be over :(

My interpretation of characters was a complete failure.

Solution posted - sorry for cutting this series a little short. I haven't had much time the last 2 months or so due to moving/new job/etc. Since it was ended early, bonus giveaway will be for 14 puzzles solved and will be put up as soon as I'm done posting solutions.

Solutions will be put up gradually so the front page isn't spammed too much with my threads.

I figured the part with the line, the problem is interpretation of the characters... can you post them?
