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, storybook-fable atmosphere. Flat painted, posterized light — NO photoreal 3D shading, NO cel-anime gloss. Limited, defined palette that keeps a cool accent (not all-warm). Cinematic 9:16 VERTICAL storyboard frame, film-still composition, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheets: the same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon graphic flatness, and ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, proportions, hair, costume. No reinterpretation between shots. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO decorative frame, NO margins — the image bleeds to all four edges. TEXT: no text or lettering inside the image (add Russian captions yourself afterward). If text is unavoidable, it MUST be in Russian (Cyrillic) only — never English/Latin. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no soft volumetric or atmospheric lighting, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no glossy digital painting, no fine engraving hatching, no uniform sepia monochrome, no realistic render, no Latin text, no beards, no middle-aged men, no extra people, no horizontal framing, no letterbox. An ordinary autumn evening in a modern courtyard: FOUR young men of about twenty, all clean-shaven, no beards, dressed in present-day clothes — Igor, lean with short light-brown spiky hair, in a grey hoodie and dark jeans, a katana in a long cloth case on his shoulder; Artyom, with shoulder-length dark-blond curtain hair parted in the middle and heavy straight brows, in a black t-shirt; Misha, tall and thin with messy swept-up brown hair and large clear-framed glasses, in a dark grey hoodie; Kirill, the youngest, round-faced with a heavy dark-brown fringe, in a white shirt. A swirling PORTAL of flat ornamental folk swirls, teal and gold, tears open above them and drags them in — clothes and hair flying, faces caught mid-shock. Palette: dusk grey-blue, sodium-orange streetlight, teal and gold portal. Vertical 9:16 composition: the portal spiral filling the upper third, the four figures below it, slight Dutch tilt. Mood: normal life ripped away in a heartbeat.
