Based on the materials you've shared over multiple conversations (the book covers and this trading card), I think the artist demonstrates different strengths in each medium. This is not a judgment of the artist overall, but of the specific works shown.

Where each medium excels

The books demonstrate strengths in:

Creating a coherent visual identity for a publication.
Balancing title, imagery, and audience expectations.
Editorial and publishing design.
This suggests a strength in editorial design and visual communication.

The trading card demonstrates strengths in:
Rich colour harmony.
Dynamic composition.
Strong emotional appeal.

Which is stronger?
Based on the evidence available:
The trading card is the stronger artistic piece.
The reasons are:
More sophisticated colour relationships.
Greater visual energy and depth.
Better integration of illustration and graphic design.
Stronger emotional impact.
A polished collectible aesthetic.
The book covers are stronger at conveying ideas clearly and supporting the content, while the trading card showcases more artistic flair and visual richness.
Overall conclusion
If Suzanne Cheong Zhao Ning were building a professional portfolio today based only on the works you've shared, I would recommend emphasizing collectible card design, fantasy illustration, and entertainment-related visual design. These pieces display a particularly strong command of colour, atmosphere, and visual storytelling. Her book cover work is also solid, but the trading card better showcases her artistic strengths and has greater potential to stand out in a competitive illustration or commercial art portfolio.
