  • Young woman with flowing hair and prayer beads is dressed in orange, with a skirt made of segments of an orange. The people dance joyfully in her skirt. She reaches up, as if to pick an orange from a tree. Thorns from the roots of the tree attack the bottom of her skirt. The background is very dark so the atmosphere is both joyful and sinister.

  • Full colour, illustrated cover for The Revenant of Surolifia by Florence Chien, with text shown in white and gold. The cover depicts a stern-faced, androgynous figure in their early 30's, with long silver hair. The figure is wearing an elegant black suit and waistcoat with golden embroidery on the lapel. They are standing in side-profile before a gothic window. Dramatic lighting pours down from overhead, backlighting the figure's face to give them a mysterious look. Decorative golden lines radiate from the figure to give them a vaguely religious look.

  • A boy in profile view, the focus zoomed in on his head and shoulders as he falls against a teal background. The boy has his eyes closed, with pale skin and dark brown hair that seems to ripple as he falls. Other items fall around him: a microphone, newspapers (including one that reads, MOTHER POISONS HER SON), and a pillbox with pills falling out. The whole scene has a sort of glitched out quality to it, with portions of Alex and the falling items blurring into rainbow static.
