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 (Igor + The Devil): 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 Next Stroke»: The stroke has already passed. Igor «Klinok» stands with his LEFT side toward the viewer, his left arm and left hand clearly visible, while his right shoulder ends in a torn empty sleeve with a fan of flat red folk ribbons and ornamental motifs bursting from it — no right arm on his body. Through the air above him tumbles his SEVERED RIGHT ARM, and the hand at its end is still CLOSED AROUND THE WRAPPED HILT of the broken katana: the arm and the hilt fly together as ONE object, fingers gripping the grip, the short jagged stump of blade pointing out of the fist. The severed arm is drawn as a flat dark folk silhouette with ribbon-like motifs, never anatomical, no blood detail, no flesh, no bone. There is NO separate sword anywhere — the broken hilt exists only inside that hand. Igor's head is turned UP and TOWARD the Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds», the goat-skulled ram-horned demon looming over him with his black-iron blade still trailing ember light from the cut, eyes locked on him, jaw set. Soot-black and ember-red with blood-ochre ribbons, cold ash- violet stone. Low angle. Mood: past pain, into resolve. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no realistic gore, no exposed flesh or bone, no intact right arm on his body, no empty severed hand, no sword flying by itself, no sword separate from the hand, no second katana.
