Distant || Dawn of Corruption

Unique Leader Records
Album Artwork 2020

Album artwork for down-tempo/deathcore group Distant's upcoming EP "Dawn of Corruption." The concept behind the artwork is a continuation of their "Tyrannotophia" storyline.

Described by the band: “‘Dawn of Corruption’ is a dark descent into the depths of the conceptual world of Tyrannotophia. The kingdom is on the brink of falling and a new era is about to begin. From the darkness, all the wretched creatures are on a hunt for its crown."

The composition was inspired by Singer Sargent's work, "Fumée d'ambre gris (Smoke of Ambergris)." I used a limited color palette to emphasize the golds and reds with high-key color values in the background to bring focus to the figure. The background will set the stage for the next chapter in "Tyrannotophia" and represents the falling kingdom.

The band incorporated the figure from the cover into their music video for "Hellmouth." I also had the honor of doing the design for the EP layout which I will be revealing at a later date. I will be doing a limited run of prints of this piece also to be announced at a later point.
