EDIT THE PROVIDED IMAGE. Preserve the ship EXACTLY as it is — do not change its shape, hull, funnel, masts, position, tilt angle, or smoke. It must remain pixel-perfect identical to the reference, only now partially submerged in the ice. REMOVE ALL FLAGS from the ship and the scene — no Soviet flag, no red banner, no flag anywhere. The ship's name plate "ЧЕЛЮСКИН" on the hull must remain clearly visible. CHANGE THE ART STYLE: Transform the entire scene into the 2D hand-drawn animated art style of the 2019 film "Klaus". This means: painterly illustrated backgrounds, volumetric cinematic lighting rendered on 2D shapes, soft warm color palette with rich atmospheric depth, subtle hand-painted texture, gentle edges, nostalgic storybook quality, expressive silhouettes, warm stylized proportions. Do NOT copy the actual characters from the film Klaus — this is only the visual technique and rendering style. The characters here are original and historical, drawn in this aesthetic. SCENE: The ice field around the ship. The same ship is slowly sinking into the frozen ice, tilted, hull partially underwater. MAIN CHARACTER — OTTO YULIEVICH SCHMIDT (must always be in frame, prominent, accurate to his real historical portrait): A middle-aged Soviet man, born 1891. Recognizable real features: round, open face with a high broad forehead, prominent bald head on top with receding hairline, dark hair remaining on the sides. Thick, neatly trimmed dark mustache. Deep-set, intelligent, warm eyes with a calm, commanding gaze. Strong, determined jaw. Wearing a heavy dark Soviet winter coat with a fur collar, a fur hat (ushanka), and high boots. He stands upright and confident, directing the evacuation — one hand raised in a calm, authoritative gesture, pointing toward the ice floe. His expression is composed, resolute, and inspiring — NOT panicked, NOT despairing. FOREGROUND — 5-6 expedition members only (NOT a crowd), each drawn in the Klaus art style, but as ORIGINAL historically accurate Soviet polar explorers of 1934, NOT characters from the film: 1. A weathered older man with a thick grey beard, in a heavy coat and fur hat, carrying a wooden crate. 2. A younger bearded man kneeling by a sled, securing ropes with focused hands. 3. A tall, stoic man in a long black coat, holding a rolled canvas. 4. A woman in a fur-lined hood, tending a small field stove with warm glowing light and steam rising. 5. A man crouched beside wooden supply crates, stacking food sacks. 6. A radioman crouched by a portable radio set, ear to the headset, concentrating. ENVIRONMENT: Uneven snow-covered ice, jagged pressure ridges, wooden crates, canvas Arctic tents, sleds, ropes, barrels, a small smoking stove. Endless ice stretching to the horizon. A warm golden sunset on the horizon, deep blue twilight sky above, soft painterly clouds. LIGHTING & MOOD: Cinematic volumetric lighting in the Klaus style — warm golden hour glow, soft blue shadows, gentle atmospheric haze, visible light rays, painterly clouds. Quiet, heroic, melancholic mood. No flags anywhere. No text, no watermarks, no logos, no signatures. Strictly 9:16 vertical framing.
