* In the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' graphic novels, illustrator James Barry's art has gotten noticeably better between his first trilogy and his most recent volumes. While in some of the older works, the cats more or less had OnlySixFaces, but now, in addition to being better art in general, the cats are a lot easier to tell apart and they all have distinctive facial features.
* In ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'', illustrator Mark Zug's images of the characters have become progressively more mature over the series, following CharacterDevelopment.
* Since the ''Literature/DorrieTheWitch'' books were written from 1962 to 1992, the art in them evolved considerably.

* An interesting in-setting example is shown in the novel ''Literature/MyNameIsRed'', in which the traditional Ottoman/Persian style of art is being influenced by European and Chinese styles. The reaction to these changes are a major impetus for the novel's plot.
