Did a little bit of work on the blockout. Found the spring tool worked infinitely better than the helix for the drill ridges. I also upped the iterations for rounding out the biggest shapes.
Better tech isn't going to hurt art design, it's only going to give it more breathing room. Sure someone could work in mspaint, one pixel at a time, and approach the same results as in photoshop, but tech has made it so that you don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of time to paint a decent high-resolution painting.
