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 Devil + Artyom + Lastochka + Igor + Misha + Kirill): 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: «What Are You Doing Here, Mortals»: A forest glade ringed with ancient carved stone columns and a glowing rune circle. The Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» fills the upper two thirds — a demon twice a man's height, long goat-like skull, tall curling ram horns with rhythmic ring motifs, soot-black skin cracked with molten ember light, ember- gold eyes without pupils, a tattered crimson-and-black caftan with inverted folk embroidery, cloven hooves and a lashing tail — laughing, one clawed hand snatching the glowing crystal that was to take them home out of the hands of Artyom «Serdtse», who is thrown back with Lastochka «the Swallow» clinging to him in terror; the old mage's map lies open at their feet. Below, tiny against the demon, Igor «Klinok» in black armor drawing the katana from his left hip, Misha «The Eye» in grey-blue armor and glasses and Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» in ochre armor with plain village swords stagger back; Artyom's NAGINATA — a long curved-bladed polearm — lies fallen at his feet. Soot-black and ember-red against a cold violet-green forest, teal circle glow, gold crystal. Extreme low angle. Mood: overwhelming power, hope snatched away. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no katana on the other characters.
