"Changelings" is the title of the second album from Polish Technical Thrash Metal trio, Species. The cover illustration was crafted by Aleksandra Pawłowska, a surrealist painter and tattoo artist based in Warsaw that had collaborated with the group in previous projects.
"The cover art is simply Aleksandra Pawłowska’s abstract vision of our music." the band's members commented. "It depicts two mysterious extraterrestrial figures in an otherworldly scenery. Since 'Changelings' tells stories of eugenics, body horror and alien terror but with almost fairytale like atmosphere, we thought that perfectly fits the concept."
Pawłowska used acrylics on canvas to paint the original artwork. Later some digital color correction was applied. "We didn't have a particular concept in mind, our only suggestions were to use a different color palette and, unlike the cover of our debut record, to make the painting asymmetrical. Aleksandra came up with a sketch creating her own visions but also incorporating objects and beings described in the lyrics. We loved the idea and suggested only very minor changes."
