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 (Korshun + Dubok): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep both exactly on-model. 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: Korshun — mid-30s, dark beard, steel-grey eyes, helmet, folk-ornamented kit — stands watch on post at the checkpoint (KPP), holding a single correctly-built AK- pattern rifle in a firm two-handed grip: stock to the shoulder at the rear, long barrel forward, one curved magazine below, front hand on the handguard — clean and anatomically correct, ONE rifle. A whistling shriek cuts the air. In the mid-ground by the barrier, Dubok — a full-grown adult male soldier in his early twenties, tall at full adult height, light stubble, NOT a child, NOT short — is caught in the strike on the checkpoint. His own AK-pattern rifle stays a SINGLE clean, intact, correctly-shaped weapon slung on his body or held at his side — stock at the rear, barrel forward, curved magazine below — it is NOT broken, NOT bent, NOT merged with the explosion, NOT scattered into pieces by the blast. A decorative burst of smoke and ochre-blood silhouette marks the lost soldier (the «200»). Ash-grey, smoke-black, slate-blue with blood-ochre accents. Low dramatic angle, strong diagonal, flat painted blast light. Mood: the whistle, the hit on the KPP, the first loss. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no drones, no medieval soldiers, no knights, no bogatyr, no spears, no shields, no swords, no chainmail or plate armour, no bows, no historical or fantasy army, no broken or warped gun on Dubok, no gun merged into the explosion, no shattered rifle, no floating detached rifle parts, no barrel in the wrong place, no detached or backwards stock, no double barrels, no extra magazines, no bent or melted weapon, no anatomically wrong firearm, no third arm, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no child, no short stature, no teenage or boyish Dubok, no Latin text.
