    Elden Ring Fans Spot More Tarnished Completing the Cover Art

    Three years have passed since Elden Ring was released, but there may still be secrets that players haven’t uncovered. It’s likely that the developers have hidden some surprises in The Lands Between or the new Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

    Interestingly, some players are just now noticing details in the game’s cover art. This artwork is visible even before you create your character or start the game. On the cover of Elden Ring, there’s more to see than just the main character.

    Vyke Isn’t The Only Tarnished On The Elden Ring Cover

    You can probably picture the Elden Ring cover art: Vyke is kneeling with a sword in the ground, the Elden Ring above him, and a barren landscape surrounding them. However, many missed the fact that there are several bodies nearby, and they aren’t just random foes.

    According to Nasz316, the three bodies on the ground belong to Ensha, Jerren, and Dung Eater, who are also Tarnished players you meet in the game. Some think one of the bodies may actually belong to Vargram instead of Dung Eater.

    Many comments from players express shock at noticing these bodies for the first time. One user said, “Is it bad to say this is the first time I even noticed there were other bodies in this art? I swear I only ever saw Vyke.” Another commented, “I never looked closely enough at this piece to realize they aren’t just rocks.” One even admitted, “Is it bad that I didn’t even know it was Vyke? I guess I never really took a good look at the cover art after the first time back when Elden Ring came out.”

    However, these dead Tarnished figures are not just for fun—there may be deeper lore implications. The presence of Ensha, Jerren, and Dung Eater could signify the devastation that Frenzy brings.

    Design Custom Spotify Playlist Cover Art In The App

    Bringing a personal touch to your Spotify playlists just got easier with the introduction of an in-app cover art creation tool. Starting today, this beta feature is available in English across 65 markets, enabling users to choose backgrounds, add unique text styles, and incorporate stickers to craft their own cover art. This tool is accessible to both free and Premium Spotify users.

    To utilize this new functionality, simply navigate to a playlist you’ve created, tap on the context menu (the three dots…), and select “Create Cover Art.” From there, you can opt to upload a new image or begin creating from scratch.

    Upon selecting the option to create cover art, you’ll access an editor where your playlist’s name will overlay a randomly selected default background. This background could be a solid color, a gradient, or even a rainbow effect.

    There’s no obligation to retain the original playlist name. You have the freedom to modify text, experiment with sizes and colors, and apply various effects. Although the selection of stickers isn’t extensive, you can add as many as desired, resizing them to add flair. Once you’re pleased with your creation and save it, the new cover art will automatically update on your playlist, making it ready for sharing across various platforms.

    Your artistic expression is primarily limited by Spotify’s existing Platform Rules. As the company notes:

    “Spotify actively monitors cover art for content violations, and users have the option to report playlists that possibly breach Spotify’s Platform Rules. You can also upload your own images for your playlist cover art, but ensure you have the rights to any images utilized and adhere to Spotify’s guidelines.”

    If Spotify removes your cover art due to rule violations, there’s limited recourse to restore it, except for residents in the EU, who are allowed to appeal content moderation decisions.

    Will users eagerly customize their playlists? Given their immense popularity, it seems likely. More than 8 billion playlists have been created on the platform to date.

    If you’re looking to set up a playlist but need assistance in curating it, Spotify has recently introduced an AI playlist creation tool and has partnered with Instagram to simplify the process of saving songs that users discover on the popular social platform.
