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, storybook-fable atmosphere. Flat painted, posterized light — NO photoreal 3D shading, NO cel-anime gloss. Limited, defined palette that keeps a cool accent (not all-warm). Cinematic 16:9 storyboard frame, film-still composition, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheet(s): the same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon graphic flatness, and ornament. Keep the character exactly on-model — same face, proportions, costume, ornament. No reinterpretation between shots. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO decorative frame, NO margins — the image bleeds to all four edges. TEXT: no text or lettering inside the image (add Russian captions yourself afterward). If text is unavoidable, it MUST be in Russian (Cyrillic) only — never English/Latin. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no soft volumetric or atmospheric lighting, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no glossy digital painting, no fine engraving hatching, no uniform sepia monochrome, no realistic render, no Latin text. The Threshold manifests as «The Towering Veil»: an immense hieratic robed figure, face withheld behind a gold icon-halo, dark monastic drapery edged with faded-gold folk ornament, warm amber glow from within. It looms over the tiny fallen Ashen Rurik at the doorway. Deep indigo void, sacred gold-leaf accents. Near-symmetrical icon composition, awe-scale. Mood: numinous, unknowable, tender. NEVER show a full face — only halo, veil and light.
