Running a separate style transfer network on the generated images is currently possible, although won't achieve the best possible results.
I wouldn't be surprised in the near future to see generation models that can take a text prompt and an image to mimic the style of, which could let it take style into account when generating the image rather than at just the surface level.
Since “style” isn’t at the surface level, you can’t take it into account with a single input. It means whatever the client wants it to mean. Getting an AI to do what you want there is still going to be a long conversation they won’t want to do.
It might (likely will be) easier to use the AI as a storyboard generator and have your in-house artists redraw it.
Asking for two different images in a series that have similar "art styles" is going to be enough work to still need a specialist aka an artist; it'll be most useful in cases you never would've bothered finding one before.
