Dion Rogers' Rinoa

Late 2004 to early 2005 Square held a competition to see who would make the best conceptual design for the Final Fantasy VIII character Rinoa Heartilly if she was to appear in Kingdom Hearts 2. The winner would get their design turned into a pixel rendition.

The winner of the competition was a video game designer by the name of Dion Rogers. The design became quite popular amongst cosplayers, many opting to use the Dion Rogers Rinoa design as their Rinoa cosplay instead of the character's actual in-game design. The art had been dubbed "The drawing which launched a thousand cosplays", which echoed the descriptiong of the Trojan War's Helen of Troy who had "The face that launched a thousand ships."
