The styles were hand-drawn by Aletheia and Nyx (around a thousand assets in all!). Here's a Twitter thread by Aletheia describing the process of merging their styles!
Since the art was drawn by 2 people, Alethia and Nyx had to match art styles to ensure all the assets matched and felt cohesive. Nyx shared some early comparisons here.
