The story

Set on the dark side of the Moon, a tale of a wizard whose obsession with power destroys him.

A narrative unfolding the track “Speak to Me”, reflecting time, greed and madness. 

A stylized, black and yellow cartoon face with prominent eyes and eyebrows, featuring a symmetrical design.
Digital illustrations of a face with detailed eyes and nose, and a sketch of a hooded figure with a stylized, intense face on a dark background, with construction lines and directional arrows.
Digital illustration of Darth Vader in black and yellow, front and back views, with a dark background.

Environment design

The setting combines retro sci-fi with mythological fantasy. The terrain is visualised as a dramatic landscape of mountains, craters and barren valleys.

We leaned into muted tones, heavy shadows and vast spaces to reflect the silent loneliness present on the dark side of the moon.

A black and white comic strip depicting a journey through outer space and alien landscapes, featuring planets, moons, mountains, and futuristic structures.
A dark landscape with a tall, ancient-looking stone tower or monument on a rugged, rocky terrain at night, with a starry sky overhead.
A dark scene with a tall, illuminated tower or skyscraper in the distance, surrounded by a cosmic or digital-looking background with bright streaks of light and stars.
