Behind The Artworks: ALA - The Dragon's Return (2026)

When it comes to the artwork for the album, I wished to keep it simple and to have one theme throughout the whole thing. The main cover depicts the dragon coming out of the black hole or primordial darkness, swirling counterclockwise, following the title of the album itself. There aren't many elements on the album that are as unique as the cover art, but there are borders of the lyric sheets that have the same claws of the dragon at the corners, and there are pages that have the logo and the symbol of the band with those borders as well. The whole art style is not strictly black and white, but more of a gray and black style with a layer of a haze-like matter on top of everything to give it a more run-down and old feeling, like it's been there for eons.
