The final Town of Passion artist (ToP had several artists at different points) was ready to move on to other projects & pursuits so having him return for KoP was never an option.
When starting KoP, I wasn't looking to mimic ToP's style but instead, I wanted to find an artist who's natural style I felt resembled ToP but still felt unique. We're still fine tuning some designs and proportions but I hope the style grows on you someday!
