The styles

Every style drew the same screen.

Every style was asked to draw the same screen, a whale at golden hour, so what you see is the difference between them. Pick one per project and everything you draw after that belongs together.

The pieces

Each style also draws the pieces that sit on top of a screen. One whale, 20 hands.

One per project

Mix them?

A project wears one style. Its pieces share a palette and a light, so a background and the pieces laid on it look like they came from the same hand, and a second style beside them would break that. A second project can wear another style, and each one exports on its own.
