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 sheet (Korshun): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep Korshun exactly on-model (build, costume, ornament, dark hair). No reinterpretation. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. CONTINUITY (Korshun — keep ALL of these): He has NO helmet — it was blown off earlier, so his head is BARE, dark hair and beard visible, bare-headed. He is WOUNDED: a SINGLE small through-and-through wound in his CHEST (lung) with a modest ochre-blood stain soaking the cloth; body WHOLE and intact, NOT torn, NO large hole. Ochre-blood runs from his MOUTH. His AK is a single clean intact correctly-built rifle. Keep every one of these details consistent. CAMERA / POSE (critical): The camera is BEHIND the defenders. We see Korshun from BEHIND / three-quarter-back — his bare dark-haired head, shoulders and back toward the camera, his front turned AWAY from us toward the enemy. He is NOT sideways in flat profile, NOT facing the camera. He is HUNKERED DOWN behind cover — crouched low behind the sandbag parapet / earthwork, pressed to the wall of the trench, sheltering. His grenade is ALREADY THROWN — his throwing hand is EMPTY, no grenade in his hand, no grenade in the air. He looks over the parapet toward the enemy where his grenade just detonated. SETTING: NOT open bare field — a DUG-IN defensive position: a trench / earthwork with sandbag parapet, timber and broken fortification, shell craters and debris, low earthen walls the defenders shelter behind. Cover in the foreground, enemy across no-man's-land. SCENE: A dynamic combat shot seen from BEHIND the defenders. Korshun, the main subject, is in the foreground with his BACK / three-quarter-back to us, bare-headed, dark hair, folk- ornamented kit, the ochre-blood chest stain visible, ochre-blood at his mouth, body whole — HUNKERED DOWN behind the parapet, sheltering after his throw, empty throwing hand, his single intact AK gripped or resting, watching the enemy over the cover. Just AHEAD, across no-man's-land, his GRENADE HAS ALREADY EXPLODED right at the feet of the enemy: a decorative flat folk-art burst of fire, smoke and flying earth erupting UNDER the enemy soldiers, throwing several of them off their feet — enemy figures FALLING, tumbling and being cut down in and around the blast. BESIDE Korshun in the same trench is ONE allied fighter (a DIFFERENT man, helmet on, similar Slavic folk-ornamented kit, NOT Korshun's twin, also seen from behind / three-quarter-back) who IS firing his own single intact AK-pattern rifle over the parapet at the enemy — muzzle flash, spent brass, barrel aimed forward at the enemy. The enemy are MODERN present-day soldiers across no-man's-land — contemporary combat helmets, tactical body armour and plate carriers, camouflage (multicam / digital-pixel) uniforms, assault rifles, and clear IDENTIFYING MARKS: blue-and-yellow arm bands and shoulder patches (blue-and-yellow recognition tape on their arms) — a SMALL group of a few modern-infantry silhouettes, several caught in the grenade blast at their feet, falling. Each AK is a single correctly-built weapon: stock, one long barrel, curved magazine below — anatomically correct, ONE rifle each. Ash-grey, smoke-black, ember-red and blood-ochre palette, hot blast and muzzle-flash accents at the enemy line. Strong dynamic diagonal, low heroic angle from behind the defenders, last-stand tension, flat painted firelight. Mood: from behind our two men in cover — the ally firing, Korshun hunkered after his grenade just blew the enemy off their feet ahead. NEGATIVE: no grenade in Korshun's hand, no grenade flying through the air, no grenade in mid-flight, no second grenade, no Korshun throwing, no Korshun winding up, no blast under Korshun, no explosion on the defenders' side, no Korshun in flat profile, no Korshun sideways, no Korshun facing the camera, no Korshun's face toward us, no Korshun standing tall exposed, no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no drones, no text on the armbands, no lettering, no open bare empty field, no flat featureless steppe with no cover, no enemy without markings, no unmarked enemy, no missing armbands, no burning checkpoint, no burning building behind them, no buildings behind them, no helmet on Korshun, no headgear on Korshun, no second Korshun, no twin, no duplicate hero, no ally with Korshun's face, no missing chest wound, no huge bloody hole, no huge crowd of enemies, no massed horde, no body torn apart, no dismemberment, no exposed insides, no gore explosion, no off-model Korshun, no medieval soldiers, no knights, no bogatyr, no spears, no shields, no swords, no chainmail or plate armour, no bows, no historical or fantasy army, no broken or warped gun, no floating detached rifle parts, no barrel in the wrong place, no detached or backwards stock, no double barrels, no anatomically wrong firearm, no third arm, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text.
