Artist commentary for Radiant Imperatrix:

Lyza K. ✑ booklet commentary

We don't know much about the Beforus empress other than the fact that she's an alternate Feferi, is an empress, and is styled "Her Imperial Radiance." I tried to evoke a underwater palace in this piece: regal and beneath the waves, but close enough to the surface that light - and Feferi's innate bubbly personality - filters through. The piece was played live on a piano and then edited in Audacity.

Josefin B. ✑ booklet commentary

My inspiration for this piece was old paintings of mermaids and sirens. I wanted to match the serene, ethereal feeling created by the track, making Feferi look regal while also friendly and playful, as if you caught her outside of her queenly duties. The colours are meant to evoke an underwater feeling, but also a sense of her being supernatural. This image is made completely with watercolours on printer paper; a choice I made to get the convex texture. Ths was honestly such a fun piece and I'm so glad I got to make the track art for the lovely track Radiant Imperatrix.
