EP Album Cover for Welkin Music

The album's overall atmosphere is chaotic, with different genres and styles representing different heights.
The song for space, for instance, is full of synths and sound effects, whereas the song for earth feels warm and human, with more percussion and chanting vocals.
Following thorough discussion, Fletcher (a.k.a. Welkin Music) and I decided to depict glowing aliens and burning clouds in the sky, tiny humans and buildings on the ground, fossils and worms beneath the surface, and a hellish underworld filled with funny little devils bathing in lava.
This image is the back side of the drawing. It looks this way because alcohol-based markers tend to bleed through paper. Initially, I was planning to make a separate drawing for the back, but my client liked this one so much that we actually ended up using it.
