Honestly, I think the two of you are trying so hard to be right using your own design principles/values, that you forget to try to achieve the others goals using your own techniques. In other words, Koh's currently trying to use clutter to prove simplicity is best when Valo's using further detail to show it can be detailed better, instead of Koh trying to add detail through simplicity, and Valo trying to add detail simply.

As an attempt to show what I mean, I gave this a go myself. Honestly I think either of you could do better, but maybe it'll give some ideas at least?
