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 + The Devil): 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 Blade That Broke»: A close shot of the moment the katana breaks. Igor «Klinok» grips the WRAPPED HANDLE of his katana with both hands, one above the other, his fists closed around the cord-wrapped grip BELOW the round guard — never on the steel. Both arms are clearly his own and clearly attached: the right hand sits above the left on the grip, and from each fist the wrist, forearm and shoulder run back to his body in one unbroken line. The blade rises from that guard and SNAPS clean across at mid-blade: the upper half tears away and spins off, a bright flat shard with a burst of sparks at the break, leaving a palm-long jagged stub above the guard. Overhead the Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» has just struck it with his own curved black-iron ember-edged demon sabre. Igor's teeth are bared, eyes wide. Soot-black and ember-red with steel white. Mood: the last defense gone. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no hands on the blade, no disembodied hands, no mismatched arms, no arm that connects to nothing, no floating sword parts, no gap between grip and blade, no detached hilt, no katana in the demon's hand, no second katana.
