Baten Kaitos?

Not at all, this is clearly Soma Bringer style art. Baten Kaitos is an old series owned by Namco.

Most the art is signed Y. Honne (Yasuyuki Honne), I don't think he worked on Soma Bringer.  

Last we heard he was part of Monolith Soft's new Kyoto studio.  Below are few games he's worked on:

 

Front Mission (1995): assistant graphic designer

Chrono Trigger (1995): map designer

Treasure Conflix (1996): main graphic

Xenogears (1998): art director, map textures

Chrono Cross (1999): art director, map painter

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (2002): art director, map designer

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean (2003): director, art director, map painter

Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- (2006): special thanks

Baten Kaitos Origins (2006): director, art director, map painter, opening movie

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008): Adventure Mode map design

Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans (2009): producer, art director

Xenoblade Chronicles (2010): concept model

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011): special thanks

Project X Zone (2012): map graphic supervisor

Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2012): special thanks

Yeah, I don't know...

It resembles Baten Kaitos to me....
