+## 🚧Work in Progress🚧
+
+## The Power of Simplicity
+
+- Character Readability
+- Empty surfaces make other surfaces with the actual key character defining detail stick out much more
+- This also makes it possible to only have one texture for the entire character, which won't be possible if there are little details like small screws
+- Little details are lost when farther away, the most important thing is big shapes and silhouette
