The album cover for Deep Sun – "Storyteller" features a fantasy-inspired design. At the center stands a powerful woman in black, wearing an ornate gold top and crown, holding a glowing orb. Behind her, a large, luminous full moon dominates a cosmic sky filled with stars and planets. Surrounding her are symbolic elements: an open book, a key, an hourglass, and a compass, all enclosed within intricate geometric patterns.
