Behind The Artworks: Divine Sovereign - Autaxia Chronicles: Dawn Of A New Age (2025)

Artwork of the album and all graphical elements of forthcoming physical release, is a creation of Jakub Lipski (@inhale_tea at Instagream). He's experienced artist - he helped me with a cover of third album of my previous project "It Doesn't Get Better" and is responsible for arts for band "Cursed Brige", where he also play. I finished recording album in September and after that I asked him if he is willing to help me. He received all lyrics and songs via Google Drive... and I knew I found right men at right time, when he started to asking me questions like "How do you imagine essence yourself?" or "Which scene from the album you would like to see on the cover album?". I responded - "I simply don't know, I only want for essence to be blue and beside that I don't want to restrain your creativity". He started to sending me many concepts, from which we combined a few surrounding song "Essence" - on the cover we can see Jakub's vision of essence factory, where inhabitants of Autaxia are turned into blue liquid (structure in the back). However, on the first plan, we got representant of rebellious species which has killed one of the oppressors who worked there, which was another concept we had. I though "Wow, this is great" - it showcasing nature of that story perfectly in my opinion. Dystopian, eerie building, rebellion, bloodshed and "otherworldliness" of setting. I released album with that cover on Bandcamp and then I was suggested to reach out to Wormholedeath, because they could be interested to release it physically. When they said yes - we were kinda in the panic mode. And decided to develop concepts that we rejected as cover art, to create booklet. In it, you will see e.g. how we (or rather Jakub) imagined both species in details, cathedral of rebels or coronation scene from last song.
