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 (Igor + Lastochka + Artyom + Misha + Kirill): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, hair, proportions, costume, ornament. 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 Key at Midnight»: Night at a bandit camp, a dying campfire and sleeping bandits. Igor «Klinok» — short light-brown spiky hair, grey hoodie, the katana thrust through his belt at his left hip, never on his back — turns a stolen iron key in the lock of a wooden cage, a finger to his lips. Inside the cage Lastochka «the Swallow» — a young woman of about twenty-two, ash-blonde hair loose and unbraided, a torn undyed linen shift, barefoot — reaches a hand through the bars, eyes wide with hope. Artyom «Serdtse» in his black t-shirt, Misha «The Eye» in a dark grey hoodie and clear-framed glasses and young Kirill «Tvyordaya Ruka» in a white shirt — all still in their present-day clothes, no armor — keep watch over the sleeping bandits. A huge ornamental folk moon above the pines. Deep night indigo and slate blue with one warm ember-red fire accent. Mood: silent danger, a breath held. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text.
