now my question: are the portraits drawn by Ryukishi? or is someone drawing them for him?
(or something in-between like Ryu making a sketch and someone else painting the actual portrait on that)
because, they look much better than the actual game spirtes
(they even have ears and figers 
), but at the same time the drawing style looks the same... makes me confused.
my bet is he just sketches them on paper while the sprites are made directly on a computer, but i want to make sure.
