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 (The Threshold + Ashen Rurik): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep both exactly on-model. 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: The Threshold manifests as «The Towering Veil» — an immense hieratic robed figure, face withheld behind a gold icon-halo, dark monastic drapery edged with faded-gold folk ornament, warm amber glow from within. It looms over the tiny fallen Ashen Rurik — scarred, blind left eye, broken sword beside him — lying at the glowing doorway. Deep indigo void, sacred gold-leaf accents. Near-symmetrical icon composition, awe-scale (huge being, small man). Mood: numinous, unknowable, tender. NEVER show a full face on the being — only halo, veil and light. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no visible face on the entity, no Latin text.
