Art style: Chinese Ink. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, a fourteen-year-old Ural Cossack boy named Stepan centered in the frame. Lean but wiry build, broad young shoulders, straight proud posture. Oval sun-tanned face with high cheekbones, a sharp determined jaw, and bright burning dark eyes full of youthful resolve. Short dark-brown hair with a slightly tousled forelock, faint fuzz above the lip. He wears a traditional Cossack outfit: a deep-blue kaftan belted at the waist with a leather strap, a crimson sash, wide dark woollen trousers (sharovary) tucked into worn black leather boots. A fur-trimmed papaha hat sits slightly tilted; a small curved shashka sabre hangs at his hip. Behind him a rugged Ural landscape of pine ridges and rocky hills rolls into misty distance under a pale sky. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: traditional Chinese hand-painted animation — textured canvas / rice-paper grain, visible brushstroke and pigment texture like aged gouache painting, muted nostalgic palette (deep teal-blue night, warm ochre skin tones, a single accent of lattice-window red), soft flickering candlelight with strong chiaroscuro, thick contour linework on characters, 1930s–40s Chinese traditional dress, slow deliberate camera movement. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
