1Boy

The 1Boy tag is very specific for filtering artwork with a single male character from Neverness to Everness. In Hethereau’s urban supernatural world, the lone male figures always serve to underscore the complex tech-wear and casual streetwear that comprise the game’s visual signature. Lone male Espers are often seen standing in neon-lit alleyways, tuning up their vehicles in dimly-lit garages, or wielding anomaly-hunting weapons. Because they are focusing on a single subject, the artists can concentrate on clothing textures, unique ambient lighting techniques and that gritty, modern city atmosphere without background clutter.

This tag is the main search term for the NTE community to filter male character artwork. Artists in digital media often look through 1Boy images for complex folds in tech-wear and references for urban-pop character design. Players meanwhile use this tag to find clean, high-res mobile wallpapers of their favorite male gacha characters. A solo portrait is a good choice for phone lock screens because it keeps the character as the main focus. The UI won’t get in the way and there won’t be any visual competition from other characters.
