Lorraine [http://oni.bungie.org/archives/lorraine_interview.html said of this work]: "I'm proud of it technically, but I wish I'd never drawn that cheesecake picture of her all torn up with three guns on her, wrapped in bullets -- it's not the way I wanted to see Konoko portrayed."
Lorraine [http://oni.bungie.org/archives/lorraine_interview.html said of this work]: "I'm proud of it technically, but I wish I'd never drawn that cheesecake picture of her all torn up with three guns on her, wrapped in bullets — it's not the way I wanted to see Konoko portrayed." Various comments by Lorraine and other Bungie staffers confirm that an overall goal for Konoko's character was to avoid making her a sexualized heroine. See the article [[Fully Armed Konoko]] to learn how the image used on the box art came to be, which restores her bodysuit and armor.
 
When Take-Two took ownership of the property, they seemed to feel the same way, as [[:Category:Art by Jacen Burrows|Jacen Burrows]] was brought in to redraw her bodysuit and armor whole and intact; this art was used as the official box art in most of the game's releases, as seen [[:Category:Packaging images|HERE]].
 
Jacen was also asked to add legs to Konoko, as seen [[:Image:Fully Armed - Full-Body.jpg|HERE]]; Lorraine's original drawing never extended further downward than what is shown above, and Take-Two apparently wanted a full-body shot of Konoko for use as a [[:File:Konoko Fully Armed standup with fan.jpg|cardboard standup]] that could advertise the game in stores. In the end, a [[:File:Konoko alternate standup.jpg|separate piece]] of art was also commissioned in which Konoko did not carry any guns and was simply in a fighting stance, which was kid-safe enough to display in stores like [[wp:Toys "R" Us|Toys "R" Us]].
