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. ATTACHMENT ORDER: the 1st image is the PREVIOUS FRAME — use it only for light, ground and staging, never for who is in the shot. The 2nd sheet is IGOR: copy him exactly — about twenty, SHORT light-brown SPIKY hair, clean-shaven, fitted BLACK leather armor with red folk embroidery and a RED SASH, dark half-cloak, and a KATANA with a black wrapped grip and round guard; he is the only katana-bearer. The 3rd sheet is THE DEVIL. The 4th sheet is KIRILL: about eighteen, round young face, heavy straight dark-brown fringe, OCHRE leather armor, DARK-RED scarf-hood, plain village sword. ONLY THREE CHARACTERS EXIST IN THIS FRAME: Igor, the Devil and Kirill. Artyom, Misha and Lastochka are NOT in this scene — no long-haired man, no glasses, no girl, no extra people anywhere in the frame. 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 forward to snatch the crystal a second time, and IGOR «Klinok» — short light-brown spiky hair, black leather armor with the red sash, BOTH ARMS WHOLE, his 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 hand knocked wide. In the same instant, BEHIND THE DEMON'S BACK, KIRILL «Tvyordaya Ruka» — ochre leather armor, dark-red scarf-hood, heavy dark-brown fringe, younger and rounder-faced — has swung his village sword two-handed into the demon's spine 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 ring of ornament at the point of impact, his arms jolting back from the recoil, his face shocked. The demon does not even turn to look at him. The Devil's other hand holds his heavy demon sabre — broad, deeply curved black-iron blade with a molten ember vein, horned SPLIT CROSSGUARD hilt, NO round tsuba. Behind them, empty stone ground with the dying teal rune circle carved flat in it, ancient carved columns and dark forest — nobody there. 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 long hair on Igor, no curtain hair, no brown leather armor on Igor, no green cloak, no naginata, no glasses, no girl, no extra characters, no background people, no fourth figure, no wound on the demon, no blade sinking into the demon, no broken katana, no missing arm, no vertical magic circle, no katana in the demon's hand, no tsuba on the demon's sword.
