Wil Overton

Wil Overton is a British artist, specialising in manga styles. Having contributed to prominent British video game magazines like Super Play and N64 Magazine, Overton's trajectory led him to a role at Rare. He took on the mantle of an illustrator for NGamer magazine. A pivotal moment arose when he crafted the Perfect Dark cover for N64 Magazine during the game's launch. The manga-inspired Joanna Dark concept left a strong impression on Rare, eventually resulting in his employment by the company. This initial design influenced the original cell-shaded concepts for Perfect Dark Zero, although these were eventually refined into a more realistic graphical style.
