Nonoknights

I got an idea to combine my two favorite types of puzzles, hope you enjoy it!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Nonogram: The numbers outside the grid define a nonogram. Shade the cells in the grid so that the pattern of shaded cells matches the numbers given for each row and column. See the example of a solved nonogram below. A digit in a shaded cell must see the same digit a king’s move away at least once. All shaded cells are given; that is, a negative constraint applies.
Anti-Knight: Cells separated by a knight’s move in chess cannot contain the same digit.
Kropki dots: Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive; cells separated by a black dot must have a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.

It took me a bit to fully grasp the complete negative constraint, and until I finished the solve I still wasn't sure that I was right about it!
That said, this was an incredibly pleasurable challenge that took me about 2.5 hours over 3 days to solve!

Another amazing puzzle from @Villse, thank you so much for sharing ! I very much enjoy puzzles with several puzzles like this. After the shading I got a bit confident, the lettering (or colouring) humbled me very quickly!
Great fun 3* for me !

Brilliant, but definitely a three star to me!

Had to use letters and colors to help clarify things but it was very fun and smooth solve. Thanks for the great puzzle.

That was quite a bit harder than I expected, but I loved the interaction between the shaded cells, especially with the negative constraint. Thanks for setting and sharing!
