Most 5e art looks pretty similar to the art from a different 5e book. There are a few outliers to this - maps have never really had a consistent art style in 5e and their collaboration books (Acq. Inc., their Critical Role books, their Kobold Press books) have pretty different art styles from base 5e - but generally, if you can look at the art from a book like Tasha's and compare it style-wise to the art from Tomb of Annihilation or Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, they're going to look pretty similar.From what I've seen of art from previous editions, especially the TSR era, this really wasn't what they were aiming for. Planescape looked very different from Dark Sun, which looked very different from Spelljammer, which looked really different from Ravenloft. Some people think this is a good thing, some think that it's a bad thing.</blockquote>
