About half a year ago, I was approached by the firm handling the North American marketing and materials for Zone of the Enders HD. I was asked to deliver roughs that they could potentially use for the collection. At the time, it was very intimidating since I really wanted to do something impressive, but that would also mean I would possibly take the responsibility of representing ZOE HD.

The main challenge was trying to come up with a cover that managed to represent both of the games, since the two have very different plots…I also didn’t play the first one. I ended up mostly focusing on the second game, since Viola was a recurring villian, and Leo was less of a punk.

No, they weren’t used in the end, but it was a worthwhile experience.
