"Torn Konoko" is a fan-applied name for this image of beaten/torn gunslinger Konoko, as drawn by Lorraine Reyes. This image may have originally appeared on the cover of PC Advisor magazine. Although she cannot do so in the game itself, Konoko carries three weapons:
- The shotgun is the all-too-famous Franchi SPAS-12.
- The machine gun bears a resemblance to a belt-fed AR-15.
- The revolver is apparently inspired by the iconic Italian Mateba revolver, as mentioned HERE.
- All 3 guns have been modeled by 17secs and are available as low-poly OBJ.
Lorraine 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 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 HERE.
Jacen was also asked to add legs to Konoko, as seen 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 cardboard standup that could advertise the game in stores. In the end, a 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 Toys "R" Us.
The "torn Konoko" image is a fan favorite and been used in multiple wallpapers, including:
