# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Airbrush Illustration: Spraying every area with the same even gradient erases the information of form and leaves a soft blur with no edges.
# - Metalheart: Polishing it clean in current software removes the rawness that came from the crude renderers of the time, and it becomes something else.
