During [[Oni]]'s development, [[Lorraine Reyes]] drew a piece known by fans by various names such as "[[Torn Suit Konoko]]", though she later expressed 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 for use in packaging and in public spaces such as game stores frequented by kids. It was then that [[:Category:Art by Jacen Burrows|Jacen Burrows]] was brought in to redraw Konoko with an intact bodysuit and armor.<ref>https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114277304211873798, https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114314738970685440</ref> The resulting piece (see V1, right) was used as the official box art for 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]]", though she later expressed regret in depicting Konoko in a more sexual way than she wanted the character to be seen.

Burrows was also subsequently asked to add the rest of Konoko's figure to the image (V2, right); Lorraine's original drawing never extended further down than the tops of her legs, and Take-Two apparently wanted a full-body shot of Konoko for use as a cardboard standup that could advertise the game in stores.<ref>https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114315220208377856</ref> | Burrows was also subsequently asked to add the rest of Konoko's figure to the image (V2, right); Lorraine's original drawing never extended further down than the tops of her legs, and Take-Two apparently wanted a full-body shot of Konoko for use as a cardboard standup that could advertise the game in stores.<ref>https://twitter.com/Jacen_art/status/1114315220208377856</ref> | ||

This alternate standup without any guns or nudity is closer to Burrows' own style and uses a completely different pose than the art discussed here.) | ||
