The album cover for A Faraway World by Orpharion depicts a young woman in a green dress standing before an ancient stone portal, which reveals a swirling vortex leading to a distant, glowing castle. The scene is set within a dark, enchanted forest, with soft light filtering through the trees. A white stag appears on the left. The band's name is rendered in ornate, metallic lettering with a lyre motif, while the album title is scripted at the bottom.

The album cover for World’s Beyond – Rhapsody of Life presents a surreal, monochromatic illustration of a woman's profile, seamlessly merging human features with abstract geometric elements and symbolic imagery. Her face, serene and introspective, is intertwined with intricate mechanical and celestial motifs—clocks, constellations, and architectural structure. A keyhole appears within her ear, while her flowing hair transforms into fluid, mathematical patterns.

The album cover for Hartlight – The Triumph of Metal features a fantasy-inspired illustration set in a grand, cathedral-like space with towering stained-glass windows. A golden chalice, radiating a mystical aura, hovers at the center, bathed in a beam of divine light. Four figures—two men and a woman in elaborate attire, along with another man in the background—reach toward the chalice with reverence. The typography is bold and metallic.
