Image: Same character, same design, same costume, same pa

Generated from: Same character, same design, same costume, same palette 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 show THE HIVE QUEEN in her PHASE 2 COMBAT POSE, close-quarters fight: her translucent wings fully spread wide and raised, all FOUR ARMS unfurled outward with long bladed chitin forearm spikes extended like mantis blades, she leans forward in an aggressive low predatory stance, her smile stretched unnaturally wide with the mandible fangs bared, her acid-green compound eyes blazing brighter, the stinger-tail raised high over her head dripping green acid, the black-green chitin plates flared open to reveal glowing green seams underneath. Still calm and terrifyingly polite rather than furious. Same dark organic hive-ship interior with glowing amber resin. Full body visible, centered. No text, no signature, no frame.
