Create a 4-panel vertical storyboard (9:16 aspect ratio). Maintain ABSOLUTE character consistency across all four panels. IMPORTANT CHARACTER LOCK: The main Viking leader MUST remain IDENTICAL to the reference image in every frame. Do NOT change his face, body proportions, hairstyle, armor design, silhouette, expression, color palette, or overall appearance. He is a tall, intimidating Viking warlord with long black hair, pale elongated face, heavy black armor, broad shoulders, black cape, and severe facial expression. Preserve the exact graphic silhouette and visual identity from the reference. IMPORTANT SHIP LOCK: Use the referenced Viking drakkar design. Preserve the overall silhouette, sail shape, proportions, and visual style of the ship. STYLE (must remain exactly consistent): Stylized 2D animation, Samurai Jack style, minimalist graphic design, bold silhouettes, flat colors, geometric shapes, cinematic composition, Japanese woodblock influence. Clean thick black outlines, flat color fills with dramatic shading, strong graphic silhouettes, high contrast, atmospheric night lighting. Panel 1: The Viking leader and his warriors disembark from the referenced Viking drakkar onto a dark shoreline at night. The Viking leader stands in the foreground carrying a round shield and a battle axe. His long hair flows in the wind. Behind him, several Viking warriors jump from the ship onto the beach. Dramatic moonlight, strong silhouettes, cinematic composition. Panel 2: A group of armored European knights from the 9th century suddenly attacks the Vikings. The knights wear historically inspired early medieval armor, helmets, shields, and weapons appropriate to the 9th century. The Viking leader remains visually unchanged from the reference. Dynamic composition, tension, dramatic lighting. Panel 3: A brutal battle erupts between Vikings and knights. Axes, shields, and swords clash. The Viking leader fights in the center of the composition, maintaining his exact appearance from the reference. Dynamic action poses, strong silhouettes, cinematic framing, atmospheric night battle. Panel 4: The battle is over. The Viking warriors stand victorious among the fallen enemy soldiers. The Viking leader stands in the foreground holding his shield and axe, surrounded by defeated knights. Preserve his exact appearance and silhouette from the reference. Dramatic moonlit atmosphere, high contrast, powerful cinematic ending shot. Ultra-consistent character design, cinematic storyboard composition, identical protagonist appearance in all panels, no character redesign, no style changes.
