Surreal dark fantasy insect queen reclines on a hive throne

About this image

This ornate dark fantasy illustration features a decadent bug queen draped in rococo golden fabrics, crawling with cockroaches inside a sprawling gothic hive castle. Terrified winged fairy prisoners lean against gilded cage bars, surrounded by giant beetles, dripping honey, moss and glowing amber lanterns. The warm rich palette of gold, rust brown, moss green and amber creates an eerie, opulent uncanny mood.
