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 (Igor + The Devil + Kirill): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, hair, proportions, costume, ornament. The FIRST attached image is the PREVIOUS FRAME — match its light, the ground circle and the staging. 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: «Nothing Touches Him»: The Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» lunges to snatch the crystal a second time and Igor «Klinok» — BOTH ARMS WHOLE, katana unbroken in a two-handed grip — meets the reaching claw and PARRIES it aside, the blade catching the claw with a burst of flat ornamental sparks; the demon's clawed hand is knocked wide. At the same instant, behind the demon, Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» — ochre leather armor, dark-red scarf-hood, heavy dark fringe — has swung his village sword two-handed into the demon's back with all his weight, and the blade simply STOPS against the soot-black hide: no cut, no wound, only a spray of flat sparks and a shockwave ring of ornament where it lands, Kirill's arms jolting back from the impact, his face shocked. The demon does not even look at him. The Devil holds his heavy demon sabre in the other hand — broad, deeply curved black-iron blade with a molten ember vein, horned SPLIT CROSSGUARD hilt, NO round tsuba. Far behind, the rune circle lies carved flat in the stone ground, its teal light dying, with Artyom, Lastochka and Misha small and braced at the edge. Cold violet-green forest, teal ground light, ember-red demon. Mood: their best blows do nothing. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no wound on the demon, no blood on the demon, no blade sinking into the demon, no broken katana, no missing arm, no one-handed sword grips, no reaching empty hands, no vertical magic circle, no katana in the demon's hand, no tsuba on the demon's sword.
