Art work for Galciv2

from GalCiv2 Forums
I want to ask who created the artwork characters for Galciv 2, all the race protraits looks kind of goofy.  the Drengin protrait in the diplomacy screen don' t look threatening.  It looks like it has a big smirk on his face everytime it tries to talk to you.  Like it wants to invite you over to beer.  The torians and the protrait of Alan Bradley, i thought i might have saw those two plusy fluffy animals in my local disney store.  Seriously, why the characters looks kind of..i don't know what is the right word, a bit cartoonish.  I mean it is cute, but i thought at least the Drengin should inspire some sort of dread, awe and fear.   But then...i laugh everytime i see them when it tries to talk to me via diplomacy.   And the text dialogue, who wrote them...it doesn't sound threatening enough or serious enough.

For whatever reason (ie: lack of will/artists/etc), GalCiv2 is ultimately not a very serious game. In terms of its universe, background, and flavor text.

I like to mod the text dialogue, the Drengin are a bit foul mouthed in mine. I do somewhat agree about the character graphics, some of them do seem cheesy, especially the Terrans. Although MOO3 was a complete failure, I do think they had cooler race graphics and diplomacy videos.
