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 sheet is IGOR: about twenty, SHORT light-brown SPIKY hair, clean-shaven, BLACK leather armor with red embroidery and a RED SASH, katana with a black wrapped grip. The 2nd sheet is THE DEVIL. The 3rd 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: Igor, the Devil and Kirill. Nobody else 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. CAMERA: a CINEMATIC SIDE SHOT — the action is seen mostly from the side, with the camera turned only slightly toward the viewer and set a little below eye level, so the demon looms. The three figures are LARGE in the frame, cropped around the knees, close and dramatic. The ground is the natural stone floor of a forest clearing receding into depth — not a platform, not a ledge. Carved columns and pines stand at different distances behind them. SCENE: «Nothing Touches Him»: Left to right: IGOR — THE DEVIL — KIRILL. Igor «Klinok» on the left, facing right toward the demon, both arms whole, holds his katana up in a two-handed grip and BLOCKS the demon's sabre, flat ornamental sparks bursting where the blades meet, his knees bent under the weight of the blow. The Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» in the middle, towering over both, faces LEFT toward Igor and brings his heavy demon sabre down with his RIGHT arm — the arm on the side nearest the viewer; his left arm is on the far side, behind his body, not visible. The sabre: broad, deeply curved black-iron blade with a molten ember vein, horned SPLIT CROSSGUARD hilt, NO round tsuba. Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» on the right, behind the demon, facing left, has thrust his village sword two-handed, point-first, into the demon's back — the tip stopped dead at the soot-black hide with a spray of flat sparks and a ring of ornament, no wound, no blood; the demon does not turn; Kirill's face shocked. Every hand is attached and on its weapon. Red dusk sky with a black sun, dark pines, carved stone columns with folk ornament. 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 platform, no ledge, no tiny figures, no video game side-scroller look, no flat stage, no demon facing the viewer, no sword in the demon's far hand, no second visible demon arm, no extra arms, no disembodied hands, no twisted anatomy, no boots on the demon, no wound on the demon, no blood, no long hair on Igor, no broken katana, no katana in the demon's hand, no tsuba on the demon's sword, no fourth character.
