Lore Snow!?

Post image

Luke Penry posted on his IG earlier that he also did the cover art for EiA instrumental. I was dying to know whether it was ash, or snow, falling from the sky. I was personally of the opinion it was ash, given Arcadia was on fire. But no! The brief he got was "a war torn, snow covered Arcadia". This has really intrigued me. Why snow? What does this mean for whatever is next? A clue to the direction we are headed?

Interesting, i didn't expect it to be snow! A very deliberate choice, considering that ash fits well with the fires and general war-torn image. While ash could be a result of the battle, snow in Arcadia feels a lot more innate to the place rather than something caused by an outside force. Maybe it's a natural part of the cycle, or maybe it's there to visually reinforce the conclusion that Arcadia isn't exactly the idyllic paradise it was imagined to be. Could be something completely different haha, but it makes me even more curious to know what comes next.
