Create a hand-painted, illustration-driven character design sheet — a third companion board matched to the Korshun and Gaida sheets, in the identical folk-tale 2D animated style. Character name: DUBOK — the young soldier lost at the checkpoint (KIA / "200"). Painterly decorative folk-art pitch board, NOT photoreal, NOT a generic model sheet. CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE): No generic layouts. No evenly spaced grids. No symmetry for symmetry's sake. Composition art-directed, intentional, slightly asymmetrical, framed with hand-painted ornamental folk borders. Every section placed by hand, matching the reference boards' craft. CHARACTER IDENTITY: Name: Dubok | Role: young rifleman, first to fall at the checkpoint | Age: early twenties — a YOUNG ADULT man, NEVER a child or teenager | Height: 176 cm | Build: lean, wiry, still-boyish but grown, upright eager stance | Design Language: same Slavic / Bilibin / lubok folk-art fantasy, decorative stylization, matching the Korshun and Gaida boards. FACE DESIGN (A GROWN YOUNG MAN, NOT A CHILD): Structure: youthful but clearly adult masculine face, softer jaw than Korshun, clean bold outline | Skin: clean warm folk tone, healthy | Eyes: bright, open, hopeful hazel-brown with clean graphic linework, an unguarded readiness | Hair: light brown, short, neat under the helmet | Facial hair: light youthful stubble only | Distinct Features: unmarked young face, an easy readiness in the brow. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Core Traits: eager, loyal, green but willing, trusting | Internal Conflict: a young man who believed the day would be ordinary | Behavior Patterns: quick to help, first to volunteer, looks up to the older men | Emotional Baseline: bright openness cut short. PERFORMANCE DIRECTION: Caught mid-moment, NOT posing — a living illustration. Micro-expressions through line and shape: an easy half-smile, a sudden widening of the eyes at the incoming whistle, youthful alertness. Emotion carried by an upright open silhouette. Capture transitional emotion — an ordinary morning turning to sudden loss. Body Language: upright, willing, unguarded | Movement rhythm: quick, light | Idle behavior: shifting his kit, glancing to the older men. WARDROBE (folk-ornamented): Garment 1: the SAME modern Russian uniform family as Korshun and Gaida — field uniform, plate carrier, helmet — edges carrying worn embroidered Slavic folk motifs | Garment 2: a field cloak with an ornamental woven border, still whole and clean (pre-strike) | Layering logic: field shirt → carrier → helmet | Footwear: tactical boots, less worn | Accessories: RF tricolor patch stylized as folk ornament, a bright new keepsake at the wrist | Props: an AK-pattern rifle, folk-patterned detailing, still cared-for. MEDIUM / RENDERING (IDENTICAL to the reference boards): Hand-painted decorative 2D folk illustration. Bold confident ink outlines, flat-to-gently-modeled gouache fills, tempera matte texture, decorative pattern work, rhythmic stylized detailing. Same folk palette family as Korshun/Gaida but slightly WARMER and brighter (he is untouched yet), with the shared cool accent retained. No plastic, no 3D shading, no photographic light, no cel-anime gloss. TURNAROUND (STRICT): Full-body front, 3/4, side, back, 3/4 back views. Identical proportions, shape design, silhouette, ornament placement. No drift in face or costume across any angle. Face must read as a young ADULT across every angle — never childlike. HEAD STUDY: Front (open, alive) | 3/4 (eager readiness — primary personality) | Profile (youthful structure) | Looking Down (a quiet moment) | Looking Up (hope) | Dynamic Angle (sudden alarm at the incoming shell). All expressions mid-thought, not posed. KEY ILLUSTRATION / MOOD FRAME: titled "THE ORDINARY MORNING." Environment: the checkpoint in the calm grey dawn before the strike, sandbags and barriers rendered as decorative silhouettes, a distant drone speck. Light: soft flat dawn light, a faint warm accent. Color Tone: muted folk palette matching the set, slightly warmer. Expression: an easy unguarded look, moments before the whistle. Composition: intimate iconographic framing, ornamental border, emotional negative space. LAYOUT: Clean folk-illustration board on the SAME warm parchment-gray ground with matching hand-painted ornamental framing, completing the trio beside the Korshun and Gaida sheets. Include: height scale, hand-lettered annotation callouts (young adult face, light stubble, RF patch, AK rifle, new keepsake), wardrobe breakdown, folk motifs, and margin production notes ("a grown young man — NOT a child"). Premium auteur folk-tale development board. STYLE: Hand-painted 2D folk-art animation — Slavic / Bilibin / lubok sensibility, bold decorative outlines, flat matte gouache color, ornamental pattern work, strong emotional silhouettes, folk palette with cool accent, storybook-fable atmosphere. Emotionally expressive over photoreal, high emotional readability. Matched companion completing the set with the Korshun and Gaida sheets. CONSISTENCY RULE (STRICT): Face, proportions, and design DNA must remain IDENTICAL across angles and match the craft, palette and medium of the Korshun and Gaida boards. The face must always read as a young ADULT, never a child. No reinterpretation between angles. Ever. OUTPUT: High craft, rich decorative detail, confident linework, expressive but controlled. Development-ready fidelity, designed as the third panel of a matched trio with the Korshun and Gaida sheets.
