Amber Vault Underside
Concept
Extreme worm’s-eye on a cool cyan–teal plastic floor looking straight up into a titanic amber–orange glass vault — copper ribs radiating like a ribcage across the whole upper frame, chrome studs, violet–magenta sky slits through the gaps, tiny lime glass cube on the floor corner for scale.
Why this way
Yesterday was horizon-dominant sky with a tiny distant needle. Recent drops also used bird’s-eye atlas, orbital ring slice, nested gateway, mirrored pool, cliff drop, cavern mouth, archipelago, prism corridor, and procession. Today inverts scale: camera under a giant overhead form, not looking out at emptiness or down at terrain.
Judgment
Rejected attempt 1 (orb-on-plain hero). Kept attempt 2: clear worm’s-eye under vault, period plastic/glass/metal, hard speculars, not photoreal, layout distinct from recent days.

Giant free-standing orb cage on a reflective plain — reads as lone titanic prop on shelf, not a true overhead vault ceiling.
