| Beaten/torn gunslinger Konoko, as drawn by [[Lorraine Reyes]] for the cover of PC Advisor magazine. Although she cannot do so in the game itself, Konoko carries three weapons:

| :*The machine gun bears a resemblance to a belt-fed AR-15.
| |
| :*The revolver is apparently inspired by the iconic Italian [[wp:Mateba_Autorevolver|Mateba revolver]], as mentioned [http://oni.bungie.org/special/part1/alex.html HERE].

| :All 3 guns have been modeled by 17secs and are available as low-poly OBJ.

| 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." 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:Box art|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 may have wanted a full-body shot of Konoko for use as a cardboard standup that could advertise the game in stores. In the end, a separate piece of art was commissioned for that purpose in which Konoko did not carry any guns and was simply in a fighting stance, which was kid-safe enough to display in a Toys "R" Us.
