Epic dark fantasy album cover, metal and dungeon synth style. A group of adventurers hanging like puppets, controlled by glowing magical strings. Characters: an elven bard with blue hair and two scimitars; a barbarian transformed into an angel with torn wings; a dark necromancer; a radiant paladin with glowing eyes; a cursed blade warrior using hex magic; a helmeted warrior with shield and war hammer; a noble rogue; a former pirate turned priest; and a cyberpunk techno-medic addict with implants and syringes. The strings rise toward a gigantic hooded figure in the background, god-like, face hidden in shadows, glowing eyes, manipulating all. Dark, ominous, epic atmosphere. Cinematic lighting, gothic fantasy with subtle cyberpunk elements. Painterly illustration, high detail, dramatic contrast, square composition, album cover art, no text. See more
