Image: Same character, same design and the same hand-pain

Generated from: Same character, same design and the same hand-painted 1980s Heavy Metal / Conan cover-painting style as in the reference image: thick expressive ink linework, painterly gouache, visible brush strokes, halftone grain, aged paper feel. NOT smooth digital, NOT 3D, NOT anime. Now a detailed CLOSE-UP PORTRAIT of THE HIVE QUEEN's head and shoulders: the tall elaborate spiked bone-white crest-crown in full detail with amber jewels, two long feathery antennae growing from her dark hair, faceted compound-eye glitter in her acid-green eyes, a gentle loving smile parting to show small mandible-like fangs, faint chitin plates along her jaw and cheekbone, glossy black-green chitin shoulder plates with spikes, the edge of the translucent veined wings behind. Her expression is sweet, maternal and quietly chilling. Dark hive-ship background with amber glow. No text, no signature, no frame.
