The art reminds me a lot of Colleen Doran's style (to where I looked to see if she did any cover art for Lackey).

I like them too. And yet, you are correct, things are often slightly "off", but I think it's the general consistency that feels good and familiar and wonderful.
Mercedes Lackey and Jody A. Lee just go together to the point where it's nearly impossible to imagine a Lackey book
without a cover by Jody.
It was definitely the cover art that first caught my attention way back in the days before ebooks when I regularly browsed the SciFi and Fantasy section in book stores.
