Bare Shoulders

Fashion in the city of Hethereau is a language in and of itself, often a balance of industrial tech-wear, and moments of casual, modern exposure. The character designs are often bare-shouldered, with heavy straps and futuristic accessories and skin exposure creating a certain silhouette. This design choice makes it easy for players to pick out characters from the busy neon-drenched city scenes. It speaks to the duality of the game, where characters go from high-octane vehicle tuning sessions to more relaxed, casual scenes in the urban sprawl, without having to change their aesthetic identity.

This tag is what artists and players seek out to see more of how NTE combines anatomical detail with complex layered outfits. Bare shoulders provide a clean, obvious anchor point for character art and are much sought after for mobile wallpapers where a clear focal point is required. If you’re drawing or studying the game’s art style, this is a great reference for how to transition the fabric textures around the neckline and shoulders while keeping the overall look grounded in the game’s particular modern, supernatural vibe.
