Fuse’s Lead Concept Artist on the process of realising our hero and protagonist, Shade: “For Shade, we added a prominent visor which is commonly seen in motorcross helmets. Not only did this fit Shade’s racer aesthetic, but also appealed to the characters core archetype: the mysterious stranger.”

The visor earns its place because it performs twice: it belongs to racing equipment and withholds the face. A good prop does not decorate an archetype; it makes the archetype operational.
