In-game character portraits in both IS and EP PS1
are actually drawn by Soejima. (Yeah he is in ATLUS since way back before) Kazuma Kaneko only did the external/promotional arts (those that we see so much in the net) and is the main character designer, quite frankly, aside from being the well-known 'demon designer' he is known nowadays
P2's in-game portraits were... Non-Kaneko esque to say at the very least.
EDIT: The info is taken from
Wiki Japan.
I know Megaten Wiki has the info too but w/e, my brain is bleaching!
But the remake seems to revamp the full body image (like in the scan), as in they are redrawn by Soejima this time. The colouring is a dead ringer for Soejima's aesthetique lol Then again, Soejima did work as co-character designer too back then.
/me as Kaneko fan : a bit
@ the lack of Kaneko's image love.
