Details on the build and case can be found here.
TEMPEST is inspired by and takes influence from:
- Temper by raeedcho
- Bad Temper by essFitt
- TOTEM by GEIST
- FORAGER by carrefinho
- Corne by foostan (and the Typeractive version)
- also Chocofi, Sweep, and others.
If you build Tempest, I'd love to hear how you get on with it. Please say hello via thrly.com or instagram.
