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 sheet (Korshun): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep Korshun exactly on-model (build, costume, ornament, dark hair). No reinterpretation. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. WEAPON (critical — draw the AK correctly): Korshun holds ONE single anatomically CORRECT AK-pattern rifle, built right, in this exact order along ONE straight line: a solid shoulder STOCK at the rear, then the receiver with the pistol grip, then ONE curved banana MAGAZINE pointing down, then ONE straight BARREL with a front sight extending forward. The rifle is a normal realistic length, held / resting across him or leaned beside him in the trench, whole and undamaged. It is ONE clean intact rifle — exactly one barrel, one magazine, one stock, all connected as a single solid weapon. Do NOT bend, warp, melt, twist, snap or break the gun. Do NOT merge it with his arm, body or scenery. Do NOT float rifle parts. Keep it clearly a recognisable AK. RADIO (critical — a military radio, NOT a phone): In his hand he holds a MILITARY PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO / walkie-talkie handset — a chunky rugged field radio with a stubby ANTENNA sticking up and a coiled cable / push-to-talk handset, olive-drab or black. He presses it to his ear / mouth to listen and answer. It is clearly a rugged military radio. It is NOT a smartphone, NOT a mobile phone, NOT a flat glass phone, NOT a thin modern gadget. SIDES (critical): Korshun is OUR RUSSIAN soldier — Slavic FOLK-ORNAMENTED kit with a CLEAR RUSSIAN-FLAG SHOULDER PATCH on his upper arm: a rectangular white-blue-red horizontal tricolour flag patch (white top, blue middle, red bottom) with a decorative folk-ornament band at its base, exactly like previous frames — clearly visible on his shoulder. He is the ONLY figure on the friendly side in frame. The ENEMY are far across no-man's-land: MODERN present-day soldiers in tactical helmets, body armour / plate carriers, multicam / digital- pixel camouflage, with BLUE-AND-YELLOW arm bands and shoulder patches. ALL blue-and-yellow marks belong ONLY to the far enemy. NO enemy near Korshun, NO blue-and-yellow on Korshun. CONTINUITY (Korshun — keep ALL of these): He has NO helmet — blown off earlier, head BARE, dark hair and beard. WOUNDED: a SINGLE small through-and-through CHEST wound with a modest ochre-blood stain on the cloth; body WHOLE and intact, NO large hole. Ochre-blood runs from his MOUTH. Keep all consistent. POSE / MOMENT (this scene): Korshun is DOWN IN COVER, sheltering INSIDE the trench — sunk low behind the sandbag parapet / earthen wall, his back and side pressed against the trench wall, KEEPING HIS HEAD BELOW the parapet line, hunkered down out of the enemy's line of fire. He is at the very END of his strength — slumped, exhausted, bloodied, pale, drained, barely holding on. He presses the MILITARY RADIO handset to his ear, listening to an order crackling in, head tilted to it, a flicker of grim relief and iron resolve on his pained face. His single intact AK rests across his lap or leans against the trench wall beside him. CAMERA / POSE (framing): We are down IN the trench with him, low angle. Three-quarter view so we read his pained face and the radio at his ear, with the sandbag parapet / trench wall rising in front of and above him and the distant enemy glimpsed beyond the top of the cover. He is sheltered BELOW the parapet, NOT standing exposed, NOT leaning out over the top, NOT silhouetted above the wall. SETTING: A DUG-IN defensive position — trench / dugout with sandbag parapet, timber revetment, broken fortification, craters, drifting smoke, debris; earthen walls enclosing him. NO buildings on fire behind him. SCENE: A tense, exhausted moment down in cover. Korshun, the sole friendly figure and clear main subject, is hunkered low inside the trench behind the sandbag wall, sheltered out of sight of the enemy, slumped against the earthwork at the end of his strength — bare-headed, dark hair, folk-ornamented kit, WHITE-BLUE-RED RUSSIAN-FLAG shoulder patch, the ochre-blood chest stain visible, ochre-blood at his mouth, body whole, face a mask of pain and grim resolve — pressing the rugged military radio handset to his ear as an order comes through. His single intact correctly-built AK rests across his lap. Beyond the top of the parapet, far across no-man's-land, the ENEMY are still ADVANCING, NOT retreating — MODERN soldiers in tactical helmets, body armour / plate carriers, multicam / digital-pixel camo, BLUE-AND- YELLOW arm bands — a SMALL far group pressing forward again, refusing to fall back, seen above/beyond the cover. Ash-grey, smoke-black, ember-red, blood-ochre palette; drifting smoke, faint ember accents. Strong dynamic diagonal, low in-trench angle, heavy last-stand exhaustion, flat painted firelight. Mood: a wounded man sheltering in his hole, clinging to his radio order as the marked enemy keeps coming. NEGATIVE: no telephone, no smartphone, no mobile phone, no cell phone, no flat glass phone, no thin modern gadget in his hand, no phone instead of a radio, no Korshun standing exposed, no Korshun leaning out over the parapet, no Korshun silhouetted above the wall, no Korshun out of cover, no broken gun, no broken AK, no snapped rifle, no shattered rifle, no bent weapon, no warped gun, no melted gun, no twisted barrel, no barrel bent at an angle, no curved barrel, no barrel in the wrong place, no double barrels, no two magazines, no detached or floating magazine, no floating detached rifle parts, no gun split in pieces, no stock detached, no backwards stock, no rifle merged into his arm or body, no extra gun, no second rifle, no half a gun, no distorted firearm, no anatomically wrong firearm, no missing Russian-flag patch, no missing shoulder flag, no bare unmarked shoulder on Korshun, no wrong-colour flag on Korshun, no blue-and-yellow flag on Korshun, no blue-and-yellow on Korshun's shoulder, no enemy retreating, no enemy running away, no enemy soldier next to Korshun, no blue-and-yellow soldier near Korshun, no Russian flag on the far enemy, no second friendly fighter, no ally beside him, no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no drones, no text on the patches, no text on the radio, no lettering, no open bare empty field, no flat featureless steppe with no cover, no enemy without markings, no unmarked enemy, no burning checkpoint, no burning building behind him, no buildings behind him, no helmet on Korshun, no headgear on Korshun, no second Korshun, no twin, no duplicate hero, no missing chest wound, no huge bloody hole, no huge crowd of enemies, no massed horde, no body torn apart, no dismemberment, no exposed insides, no gore, no off-model Korshun, 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 third arm, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text.
