Yeah, this art isn't bad per se, and the colouring is pretty damn good. But I just feel that ASOIAF warrants a less comic-booky art style. The Last Unicorn comic had a pretty similar art style, but there are enough little differences that I can't even really explain that make me think that would work way better. Or for something more realistic, whoever did the cover art for the trade up there would be great. I would prefer something even more artsy, but whatever.

And that flashback sequence with Danaerys just eats. Like, what the fuck, do you have to dump all that shit on us right away? If you're going to have flashbacks why not only pull them out when they're directly relevant to the characters and let us piece them together? Like, when Robert and Ned are in WInterfell's tombs then give us the one with Robert killing Rhaegar.

But no. Don't worry about establishing Danaerys and the setting she's in through the art before we know her history. Just dump all of it on us all at once. The reader needs to know this semi-relevant background information RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
