Three images are ATTACHED: (1) the finished ARTYOM «Сердце» character sheet, (2) the LASTOCHKA «Ласточка» character sheet, (3) a PHOTO REFERENCE of a naginata — use it ONLY for the weapon's shape and proportions, never for its rendering style or its dark studio background. Redraw the ARTYOM sheet EXACTLY as it is — same board layout, same ornamental framing and parchment ground, same Russian hand-lettering and quotes, same height scale, same palette strip, same turnaround, same head studies, same key illustration with Lastochka, same face, hair, proportions and costume — with ONE change: REPLACE HIS WEAPON. Everywhere the plain village sword appears — in the turnaround, in the hands of every figure, and in the weapon callout — draw instead a NAGINATA built exactly like the attached photo reference: — total length about 210 cm, clearly TALLER than Artyom (178 cm): standing with its butt on the ground, the blade rises above his head; — a long straight shaft, roughly three quarters of the whole weapon, of dark wood wrapped in red-brown cord, with brass collar rings along it and a brass butt cap; — a SLENDER, gently curved, single-edged blade about a quarter of the length, katana-like, polished steel with a visible temper line, widening slightly toward the tip; — a small round guard (tsuba) where the blade meets the shaft. Every figure in the turnaround carries the COMPLETE weapon — never a bare shaft, never a pole without a blade. It is NOT an axe, NOT a glaive with a broad cleaver blade, NOT a spear point, NOT a scythe, NOT a halberd, NOT a double-edged blade. Translate the photographed weapon into the sheet's own medium: flat matte gouache, bold ink outline, folk ornament on the shaft wrap and collar rings, so it looks forged in this world rather than photographed. In the callout label it in Russian «Нагината» and note that it is the only polearm in the group. Everything else on the board stays identical to the attached ARTYOM sheet. Hand-painted 2D Slavic folk-art animation — Bilibin / lubok sensibility, bold decorative outlines, flat matte gouache color, ornamental pattern work, storybook-fable atmosphere. No photoreal render, no 3D shading, no cel-anime gloss, no photographic lighting or background. All lettering in Russian (Cyrillic) only.
