Building The Queen's Chamber

The third instalment in The Underground series gives the reader a glimpse of the ant colony, Coryn. More specifically still, Queen Azulon's Chamber. When it came to putting the scene together, I really wanted to make sure that this chamber stood out from other areas, this is the Queen afterall. And a Queen to an insect is the most important part of their existence. So I decided to start designing the room wall by wall, soon afterwards I'd realize that the chamber would be so tall and expansive that these walls too would have to be drawn in sections.
When all the wall sections are drawn, I'd like to piece them together as a 3Dimensional dome. After this, I plan to place my camera inside the dome and do a full internal rotation. This way I'll have a great view of the chamber, from any angle. I'm actually pretty excited about this, and kind of surprised I thought of it!
So here's the first of the wall sections. This one will be located directly behind Queen Azulon.
