A smiling figure in sunglasses and a checkered shirt sits at a counter with a cityscape and sundae in the background, evoking a retro diner vibe.

The album cover for Remnants of Light by Needlepoint features a black-and-white hand-drawn illustration with a folk-art aesthetic. A barefoot figure, dressed in loose clothing, sits on the ground surrounded by scattered leaves, resting their head on one hand in a contemplative pose. Around them, several crows gather, seemingly engaged in an interaction with the leaves. Behind them, bare trees, a stone wall, and a distant village. Above, a vast flock of birds forms a flowing pattern in the sky.
