STYLE: hand-painted 2D Slavic folk-art animation — Bilibin / lubok / Orthodox-icon sensibility. Bold decorative ink outlines with visible line-weight variation, flat matte gouache color fills (poster-flat, minimal gradients), ornamental folk pattern work, strong readable silhouettes. Flat painted, posterized light — NO photoreal 3D shading, NO gloss. Cinematic 16:9 storyboard frame, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheets (Korshun + Dubok): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep both exactly on-model. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. SCENE: Korshun — mid-30s, dark beard, steel-grey eyes, helmet, folk-ornamented kit, AK in hand — stands watch on post at the checkpoint (KPP) when a whistling shriek cuts the air. In the mid-ground by the barrier, Dubok — a full-grown adult male soldier in his early twenties, tall at full adult height, light stubble, NOT a child, NOT short — is caught in the strike on the checkpoint, a decorative burst of smoke and ochre-blood silhouette marking the lost soldier (the «200»). Ash-grey, smoke-black, slate-blue with blood-ochre accents. Low dramatic angle, strong diagonal, flat painted blast light. Mood: the whistle, the hit on the KPP, the first loss. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no drones, no medieval soldiers, no knights, no bogatyr, no spears, no shields, no swords, no chainmail or plate armour, no bows, no historical or fantasy army, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no child, no short stature, no teenage or boyish Dubok, no Latin text.
