What started as an experiment in the Spring workshop, has turned into a tradition where we get creative from the beginning and really model our own character after their backstory and get the paint sets out.
This time it was no different and all participants got a black 3D printed figurine ready to paint to their likings, and create a backstory before we would meet on Friday.
So, without further ado, let us present you the heroes of tomorrow’s adventure.
