Use the ATTACHED photo as the likeness reference for the FACE and HAIR ONLY. Translate the likeness into the hand-painted 2D Slavic folk-art style below. IGNORE the clothing, accessories and pendant in the photo — the wardrobe is defined in this prompt. Match the medium, board layout and ornamental framing of the attached IGOR sheet if provided. Create a hand-painted, illustration-driven character design sheet for a director, art department, and animation team — a companion board in the same folk-tale 2D animated style. Character name: ARTYOM — "The Heart" — the romantic of the group. Painterly decorative folk-art pitch board, NOT photoreal, NOT a generic model sheet. CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE): No generic layouts. No evenly spaced grids. No symmetry for symmetry's sake. Composition art-directed, slightly asymmetrical, framed with hand-painted ornamental folk borders. Every section placed by hand. CHARACTER IDENTITY: Name: Artyom | Alias: "The Heart" | Age: about 20 | Height: 178 cm | Build: average, slightly soft, relaxed shoulders, a rounded friendly silhouette with flowing hair | Design Language: modern young man in a Slavic folk-tale fantasy world — Bilibin / lubok decorative stylization. FACE DESIGN (from the photo): Structure: broad soft face with a rounded jaw, straight wide nose, full lips, simplified gentle shapes | Skin: fair, slightly rosy, flat painted tone | Eyes: large, pale blue-grey, a little heavy-lidded, under thick straight dark brows that give a serious look | Hair: shoulder-length straight dark-blond / light-brown hair, parted in the middle, long strands falling over the forehead and framing the face, painted as long decorative flowing waves | Expression default: thoughtful, slightly moody, softening into warmth around the girl | Distinct Features: long curtain hair, heavy brows, a keepsake ribbon from the girl tied on his wrist (from Act 2). PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Core Traits: kind, persuasive, romantic, a little stubborn, easily teased | Internal Conflict: he wants to go home, but has fallen in love in this world | Behavior Patterns: argues for others, stands close to the girl, blushes and scowls when the friends tease him | Emotional Baseline: calm and warm; fear shows when the girl is in danger. PERFORMANCE DIRECTION: Caught mid-moment, NOT posing. Micro-expressions: a persuading open smile, a sulky frown at the jokes, wide eyes of fear shielding the girl, grief looking back at Igor. Body Language: open, leaning toward people | Movement rhythm: steady, easygoing | Idle behavior: pushing hair out of his eyes, touching the wrist ribbon. WARDROBE (folk-ornamented, per the script): Main look (frames 6-14): Garment 1: warm brown leather armor — a simple cuirass with laced sides and leather bracers, edged with green-and-gold folk embroidery | Garment 2: a moss-green wool cloak with a woven border, cream linen shirt with an embroidered green collar | Layering logic: linen shirt → padded vest → brown leather cuirass → belt with pouches → green cloak | Footwear: brown leather boots | Accessories: a thin red-and-white embroidered ribbon on the left wrist (a gift from the girl) | Props: a plain one-handed village sword with a leather-wrapped grip and a simple folk-patterned crossguard. Arrival look (frames 1-5, inset callout): modern casual clothes — black t-shirt, loose dark jeans, sneakers, earphones around the neck. MEDIUM / RENDERING: Hand-painted decorative 2D folk illustration. Bold confident outlines, flat-to-gently-modeled color fills, gouache/tempera matte texture, decorative pattern work. Palette: leather brown, moss green, cream, honey gold, with a cool blue accent. No plastic, no 3D shading, no photographic light, no cel-anime gloss. TURNAROUND (STRICT): Full-body front, 3/4, side, back, 3/4 back views in the main look. Identical proportions, hair, costume and ornament across all angles. HEAD STUDY: Front (neutral, serious) | 3/4 (gentle warmth — primary personality) | Profile (hair and nose structure) | Looking Down (embarrassed by the teasing) | Looking Up (hope at the old mage's map) | Dynamic Angle (fear, shielding the girl from the devil). All expressions mid-thought, not posed. KEY ILLUSTRATION / MOOD FRAME: Environment: a sunlit meadow road in autumn | Artyom walks hand in hand with the girl, looking at her, while two friends tease him in the background | Light: flat warm golden afternoon light with a cool sky | Composition: intimate lubok framing, ornamental border. LAYOUT: Folk-illustration board on warm parchment-gray ground with hand-painted ornamental framing. Include: height scale (178 cm), hand-lettered annotation callouts (curtain hair, heavy brows, wrist ribbon, green cloak, village sword), wardrobe breakdown (arrival vs main look), palette, and margin production notes ("face from the photo reference"). STYLE: Hand-painted 2D folk-art animation — Slavic / Bilibin / lubok sensibility, bold decorative outlines, flat matte gouache color, ornamental pattern work, strong silhouettes, storybook-fable atmosphere. CONSISTENCY RULE (STRICT): Face, proportions, hair, costume, ornament, palette, and rendering approach must remain IDENTICAL across all views. Ever. OUTPUT: High craft, rich decorative detail, confident linework. Development-ready fidelity suitable for a 2D folk-tale animated feature pitch deck.
