I
could be wrong but Paheal tells me that this:

Is one of his. It does looks like a less refined version of his style, so I never really questioned it. Additionally, when compared to other pics that are
definitely his (like his old MEW piece he released on Patreon back in 2020) it looks very similar. Wouldn't surprise me at all if this is somehow from his pre-Patreon days, considering when the movie released and the fact that Reverse search also gives me nothing outside of the same page I found it on.
If this isn't him, then correct me.
So it might be him, but it definitely isn't pre-Patreon. If anything, this is one of the more rushed private commissions he's done, as his style was more or less locked in around 2019 or 2020 (and this was from around 2020 or 2021).
His actual older style stuff is more painterly and less celebrity faked/photobashed, as in more hentai-type Rule34.
There actually, in going back, doesn't seem to be a dramatic change in style from 2020 to now, except that he's gotten lazier or stretched thinner by the number of images he's releasing publicly every month. It might also be because he's got less motivation - seemingly one-by-one, his income sources from this are drying up. It could be a matter of time before Gumroad regulates his stuff or bans him altogether, at which point, he'd be left with basically nothing.
Patreon caved. Subscribestar's nearly impossible to get into unless you know somebody who works there or are incredibly lucky (or you're one of the biggest names in the sphere). He's got a basically negligible presence on Twitter and Hentai Foundry, and that's about it, barring Gumroad.
But the breasts? They're not dramatically different in size now or anything. Here are some earlier images he did, even in this style, where there's still huge breasts and/or leg apparel, and this is all from 3-5 years ago.
But the issue is anatomy, at least in my eye. Even in the Kathryn Newton pic, her head's not on her shoulder correctly. If she's leaning away from the camera (as she is), you should see more of the shoulder closest to the viewer, and her head should be placed a lot closer to the shoulder you see less of. It also looks like he had to unnaturally contort the torso just to make the shoulder and legs fit together, as the ribcage should start a lot closer to the chest than that, and the stomach is about 33% longer than it should be. There's a definite proportion problem, which would probably be more refined on a public post.
tl;dr The patron and Gumroad-exclusive posts had a lot more care and attention to detail than what we're seeing now, probably because he feels like this thing could collapse at any moment, and is spending less time on it (he did enter into this sphere from a job in video game concept art, and that job is very likely gone or very different now - he's probably dedicating time to changing industries). Because he's spending less time on patron pieces, I think we're seeing cracks that have always been there, but are much more visible now.
