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. The FIRST attached image is the PREVIOUS FRAME. Match it: the same missing sword arm on the same side, the same torn empty sleeve, the same armor damage, the same broken katana still nailing the demon's hoof to the stone, the same light. The LAST attached image is a FACE REFERENCE for his expression only — take from it the faint dying smile and the slack, peaceful features, nothing else: not its hair, not its beard, not its costume, not its colors. 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: «A Smile Goodbye»: They are GONE. The rune circle carved flat in the stone ground is EMPTY — no people, no figures, no silhouettes, not even faint outlines: only a thinning drift of small teal folk particles and sparks rising from the circle into the night, the last trace of four who teleported away a second ago. Igor «Klinok» LIES on his back among the stones, one arm only, the other shoulder a torn empty sleeve with flat red folk ribbons, armor in rags, face smeared with dirt and blood. He has raised his one hand and holds up the CRYSTAL OF DESTRUCTION — a tall dark-crimson faceted spike of stone glowing from within, alone in his fist, nothing else in that hand. He looks at the empty circle with the faintest smile of a dying man at peace: eyes OPEN but tired and heavy-lidded, head tipped back against the stone, features slack and unguarded, worn out and quietly relieved, not triumphant. Above him the Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» is WRITHING IN PAIN — the broken katana still nailing his cloven hoof to the stone, his body twisted and wrenched back, head thrown up, jaws open in a howl, one clawed hand grabbing at his pinned leg, his sabre swung wide off balance. Teal fading particles against ember-red and soot-black. Mood: peace, a choice already made. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no people in the circle, no figures in the circle, no ghostly silhouettes, no faces in the light, no calm demon, no upright composed demon, no standing hero, no second arm, no restored arm, no crystal on a hilt, no whole katana, no wide smile, no closed eyes, no beard on Igor, no long hair on Igor, no vertical magic circle, no realistic gore.
