Image: Retro pixel-art boss sprite for a first-person dun

Generated from: Retro pixel-art boss sprite for a first-person dungeon crawler in the style of Mutant Crawl Classics and early Legends of Grimrock, with the flamboyant 1980s dark-fantasy cartoon look of Heavy Metal magazine and Conan. Large crisp readable pixels, strong readable silhouette, high contrast, no anatomical detail. Subject: the Hive Queen as a mantis-like priestess-empress, an elongated statuesque adult woman-humanoid with a wasp-thin waist, standing in a serene motherly pose. She has TWO PAIRS OF ARMS (four arms): the upper pair with long bladed chitin forearms held together in a prayer-like gesture, the lower pair open and offering. Bone-ivory chitin plates armour the forearms, the shoulders, a segmented collar and a ridge along the spine, forming a minimal armoured costume, the rest smooth pale-violet skin. Long antennae in her hair, tall translucent dragonfly-like vestigial wings behind her, faceted compound-eye shine, a soft loving smile with small mandible fangs, and a huge ornate branching crest-crown. Palette: bone ivory, hot magenta and violet, acid green glow. Composition: full body, strictly frontal view facing the camera, whole figure visible, centered, feet at the bottom edge of the frame, tall and imposing. Billboard sprite: no ground, no background, no scene, no text, no frame. NOT smooth digital painting, NOT 3D render, NOT anime.
