🕷️ Overall Concept: “The Feast in the Web” Scene summary: A massive spider crouches in its webbed lair — a thick, tangled tunnel of silk, shredded prey, and dripping shadows. The viewer is looking slightly upward, as if standing below the web and peering into the chaos. The space feels too full: every inch of the web hides something. --- 🎯 Composition layout (for 40×32") Orientation: Landscape (fits the hallway’s width nicely and gives you horizontal sprawl).

Tiny scavenger bugs crawling around, adding a layer of smaller motion and clutter. Midground (center ⅓) The spider itself, dominating the center-right or upper-right.

Silhouettes of half-wrapped victims hanging upside-down.
