Art style: Paper Cut.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Nikolai, a sturdy, broad-shouldered backend developer in his early thirties, built like a Russian fairytale bogatyr. Fair skin, strong square jaw, a permanent slightly-displeased frown with knitted dark eyebrows, calm steady pale-blue eyes. Dark-blond hair in a short cropped haircut, neatly faded at the sides. He wears a developer's take on bogatyr armor: a dark fitted tunic layered with riveted chainmail across the chest, a wide leather belt with pouches, padded forearm bracers, loose tucked trousers, and sturdy worn leather boots laced to mid-calf. He stands firm with arms crossed, weight planted, radiating quiet reliable strength. Behind him, a softly lit Russian-tale IT workshop of wooden beams, glowing monitors and carved patterns. No on-screen text.
