Monochrome Surreal Queen and King Corridor

Monochrome surreal illustration in the style of high-contrast graphite/airbrush engraving, square format. A royal queen (left) and king (right) face each other in a long one-point-perspective corridor. Floor: glossy black-and-white checkerboard receding to a bright vanishing point. Walls/ceiling: dense Escher-like interlocking rectangular beams forming a zigzag tunnel; impossible geometry; heavy relief; repeating chevrons toward the center. Queen: flowing layered gown with deep folds and ruffles, ornate crown, wavy hair; arm extended as if greeting. King: bearded, ermine-trimmed robe with spotted mantle, tall jeweled crown; arm extended to reply. Symmetrical composition, camera at eye level; strong rim lights and soft bounce; sharp cast shadows on the tiles; no color (pure grayscale); razor-clean edges and micro-shading for sculpted depth; reflective floor glints near the figures. NEGATIVE: color, text, extra people, modern objects, soft cartoons, blur, textures of paper grain.
