During Oni's development, [[Lorraine Reyes]] drew a piece known by fans by various names such as "Torn Suit Konoko" (shown on the right, white background). Available versions of this image are discussed [[Torn Suit Konoko|HERE]], as well as Lorraine's regret in depicting Konoko in a more sexual way than she wanted the character to be seen. When Take-Two took ownership of the property and was going to advertise the finished product as well as design the box art, they too apparently wished for a less revealing rendition of Konoko, but otherwise were OK with the intimidating and firepower-heavy composition nailed by Lorraine. It was then that [[:Category:Art by Jacen Burrows|Jacen Burrows]] was brought in to redraw Konoko's bodysuit and armor whole and intact.<ref>https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114277304211873798, https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114314738970685440</ref> The resulting piece (shown on the immediate right) was used as the official box art of most of the game's releases, as seen [[:Category:Packaging images|HERE]]. | During Oni's development, [[Lorraine Reyes]] drew a piece known by fans by various names such as "Torn Suit Konoko" (shown on the right, white background).
