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>http://oni.bungie.org/newsarchives/2000/dec00.html#rockstar</ref><ref name="thread">https://archive.is/nDOxM</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]]. | ||
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 | 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 name="thread" /> | ||
(In the end, a new piece of art was commissioned from Burrows for [[:Image:Konoko alternate standup.jpg|a second standup]] where Konoko did not carry any guns and was simply posed in a fighting stance, which was kid-safe enough to display in stores like [[wp:Toys "R" Us|Toys "R" Us]]. This piece is closer to Burrows' own style and is unrelated to the art discussed here.) | |||
