I think this and the rest of the ingame portraits are done by a different artist(s) (likely an internal one).

I compared portraits to some of her previous works they still look like her style. The only art that looks different to me is the characters official art but I think it’s just because Chinatsu went for a more stylized approach while the portraits are more subdued. On Chinatsu’s twitter she said she was in charge of the of character design. It’s possible that she only did initial design but it would be odd if she’s in charge but isn’t responsible for the majority of the characters art in the game. If you look at preview of Byleth’s concept art you can see that it’s clearly her style and she drew the portrait for them. https://imgur.com/gallery/7AP0Jf0 That being said maybe a second artist touches up on the shading and line art to give a more solid look? It’s also possible that Kurahana was simply trying to find a balance between her style and the style that came before her? If you look at characters like Jeralt he looks like he’d fit right in with Yusuke Kozaki’s style no problem. It’s not uncommon for artists to adapt their art styles to fit the current project they’re working on. Anyway as far as we know Kurahana Chinatsu has been the only artist credited. I want to apologize if this looks like rant lol it’s not I promise I know I typed a lot but I’ve been thinking the about this stuff for awhile lol.

Well, the game is a month away so we'll know by then. For now, maybe I'll just tag all official FE:3H as Kurahana.

Well, the game already released like a year ago, someone ended up checking who did the artwork (besides the full arts, that are clearly Kurahana's work) as well as the in-game portraits?
