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 (The Old Mage + Igor + Artyom + Misha + Kirill + Lastochka): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, hair, proportions, costume, ornament. 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: «The Map and the Crystal»: A deep chamber of the guild lit by cold blue light. The Old Mage — about eighty, bent and thin, a very long white beard, a faded indigo hooded robe embroidered with silver stars, a patched sheepskin mantle, a crooked staff topped with a glowing blue crystal — hands a rolled parchment map to Igor «Klinok» in his black leather armor, his other hand raised as he explains. The map is half-open, showing a painted circle among stone columns — the place where the crystal must be set. Artyom «Serdtse», Misha «The Eye» in clear- framed glasses, Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» and Lastochka «the Swallow» lean in around them, faces lit with hope. Faded indigo, parchment cream and silver with cold staff-blue and a warm gold accent. Mood: hope returning. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text.
