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. Vertical storyboard frame, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheets (The Devil + Artyom + Misha + Igor + Kirill + Lastochka): 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: 1 — The Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds»: long GOAT-LIKE SKULL, tall CURLING RAM HORNS with ring motifs, black smoke-flame mane, soot-black skin cracked with ember lines, tattered CRIMSON-AND-BLACK caftan with chains, head low on a SHORT THICK bull-like neck. 2 — Artyom «Serdtse»: shoulder-length dark-blond curtain hair, BROWN leather armor, MOSS-GREEN cloak; his NAGINATA is on this sheet. 3 — Misha «The Eye»: LARGE CLEAR-FRAMED GLASSES, GREY-BLUE armor, SLATE-BLUE hooded cape. 4 — Igor «Klinok»: SHORT light-brown SPIKY hair, BLACK leather armor, RED SASH. 5 — Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka»: round young face, heavy dark-brown fringe, OCHRE armor, DARK-RED scarf-hood. 6 — Lastochka «the Swallow»: ash-blonde low braid, cream embroidered shirt, DARK-RED sarafan, green sash. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. THE TWO WEAPONS IN THE DEMON'S EYES — the most important detail. The Devil FACES THE VIEWER, so his RIGHT eye is on the VIEWER'S LEFT and his LEFT eye is on the VIEWER'S RIGHT. Both weapons are clearly visible, one in each eye, never merged into one. — FRAME LEFT (the demon's RIGHT eye): Artyom's NAGINATA. The slender curved single- edged blade is driven into the eye socket, and part of its curved steel back still shows at the socket. The small round guard sits just outside the eye, and the LONG red-brown wrapped pole shaft sticks out of the eye diagonally up and to the LEFT, far past the horns. It is a spear-length polearm, not a sword. — FRAME RIGHT (the demon's LEFT eye): Misha's SWORD, a plain STRAIGHT double-edged European-style arming sword. The blade is buried in the eye. Outside the eye you see a simple straight iron CROSSGUARD, a short brown leather-wrapped grip and a ROUND iron pommel, pointing diagonally up and to the RIGHT. It is short compared with the naginata. It is NOT a katana: no curve, no round tsuba, no black diamond-wrapped handle. SCENE: «Go Home»: The upper half of the frame is the Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds», seen from the chest up and facing us, with Artyom's naginata in the eye on the left of the frame and Misha's sword in the eye on the right. He is swelling from inside with the crystal of destruction he swallowed: crimson light bursts through the ember cracks of his soot-black skin, his chest and throat bulge, and his jaws gape in a silent roar. His legs are out of frame. In the lower half is the teal rune circle on the stones. Inside it the five friends are dissolving into columns of teal light, feet first and rising, all TURNED TOWARD the demon and shouting up at him. Igor «Klinok» stands at the front with his fist raised. Misha «The Eye» and Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» shout beside him. Artyom «Serdtse» holds Lastochka «the Swallow» close with one arm around her shoulders, and she presses against his chest while looking up. No one holds a weapon now: the naginata and the sword are in the demon's eyes. Crimson and ember-red above, cool teal below, soot-black between. Mood: going home, and leaving the monster to burn. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no realistic gore, no katana in the demon's eye, no curved sword in the eye, no tsuba, no single weapon, no naginata missing, no short naginata, no swapped sides, no weapons in the heroes' hands, no extra people, no extra limbs, no third arm, no long neck, no human demon.
