looking at the character design, their art style doesn't really match the Castor/Castoria model.

will they be changed later in the future to match the similar artstyle of that of Castor/Castoria's in game? just wondering because it would look weird if the models were both together in the same frame.

Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot I can do about that >.< The base models for both Castor/ia and Cana are by the same artist. Every single sprite I plan to use in DD is by the same artist. But I do know what you mean because I've had them side by side and something does look a little off! I suppose that's going to happen with an artist that's been releasing sprite assets over the course of a few years cos it must be difficult to stay consistent as your style slightly changes over time.

Admittedly, some sprites do look closer in style than others, but I had to use the ones I did for Cana because they're one of only 2 in the entire set that actually have proper casual clothes. And since Cana is supposed to be a regular human, unlike several other characters that will eventually be in the game, I was a bit stuck with which base model to use.

The artist has been gradually releasing more casual clothes here and there, so it may get to a point where I can use a different base model that matches a bit better, but for now, it's the best I can do. I'm no artist myself, so I just edit the colours and alter hairstyles and stuff. Sometimes I can manage to steal an outfit from one base model and put it on a different one, but for me to do that, their poses have to be really similar so that the positioning of arms and their head doesn't look odd x3 

Back when I first made Castor/ia's edits, the two outfits they use in the game were all that was available for that model. Now they have a huuuuge amount of much more casual outfit options, and there's even a wedding dress for Castoria now! So the artist is adding stuff all the time.

The fact that Castoria now has a wedding dress is awesome, I'd love to see it! And may I also ask who the artist is to see their other works?

Sorry my reply is quite slow >.< I'm currently working like crazy on trying to make some stuff for Spooktober VN Jam this year, haha. I've gone a bit insane and am aiming to make 2 games instead of 1 this time x3 1 will be related to DD but playable without knowledge of DD, and the other will be its own thing.

The artist is someone from Japan called SasaIchi. I can't read Japanese, so I can only go on what Google translate says from their page, but it seems they mainly keep creating art for asset packs. This is their blog thingy anyways where they post their progress and stuff! Seems like they're working on a new set of characters soon that looks really cool, so I'll probably be buying that new pack whenever it drops :3
