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 nailing the demon's hoof to the stone, the same pose on the ground. The LAST attached image is a FACE REFERENCE for his expression only — the faint, gentle 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: «The Blast»: The crystal goes off. Igor «Klinok» lies on his back among the stones, one arm only, that hand raised, and from the dark-crimson faceted spike in his fist bursts a vast FLAT ORNAMENTAL EXPLOSION: straight crimson and gold rays fanning across the whole frame, folk sun-wheel and flame motifs, white-hot at the core. IGOR HIMSELF IS BURNING AWAY IN IT: the edges of his raised hand, his shoulder, his cloak and his legs are already coming apart into flat golden sparks and small folk ornaments drifting upward, his silhouette dissolving from the outside in, half ash and light. His face is still whole and calm: EYES CLOSED, head resting back on the stone, mouth in a small, soft, KIND smile — the gentle smile of a man saying goodbye to friends he saved, warm and sad, absolutely not ecstatic, not blissful, not open-mouthed, not a grin. Over him the Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds», still pinned by the broken katana through his hoof, is caught mid-howl and breaking apart into flat black decorative fragments. Stone columns crack into flat shapes. Crimson, gold and white-hot cream with soot-black fragments. Iconographic framing, the blast as a halo. Mood: the end, chosen. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no open eyes, no wide grin, no open-mouthed expression, no ecstatic face, no blissful face, no pleasure expression, no evil smirk, no intact untouched hero, no second arm, no photographic fire, no volumetric smoke, no realistic gore, no beard on Igor, no long hair on Igor.
