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 sheet (Korshun): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep Korshun exactly on-model (build, costume, ornament, dark hair). No reinterpretation. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. WEAPON (critical — draw the AK correctly): Korshun holds ONE single anatomically CORRECT AK-pattern rifle, built right, in this exact order along ONE straight line: a solid shoulder STOCK at the rear, then the receiver with the pistol grip, then ONE curved banana MAGAZINE pointing down, then ONE straight BARREL with a front sight extending forward. The rifle is a normal realistic length, held weakly / slipping in his loosening grip, whole and undamaged. It is ONE clean intact rifle — exactly one barrel, one magazine, one stock, all connected as a single solid weapon. Do NOT bend, warp, melt, twist, snap or break the gun. Do NOT merge it with his arm, body or scenery. Do NOT float rifle parts. Keep it clearly a recognisable AK. AMMO RUNNING OUT (this scene): Show that his ammunition is almost gone — a scatter of spent empty brass cartridge cases lying around him on the trench floor, and one last curved magazine (in the rifle or in his weak hand) — the sense of the very last rounds. NO big piles of fresh ammo, no full ammo boxes, no belts of ammunition. SIDES (critical): Korshun is OUR RUSSIAN soldier — Slavic FOLK-ORNAMENTED kit with a CLEAR RUSSIAN-FLAG SHOULDER PATCH on his upper arm: a rectangular white-blue-red horizontal tricolour flag patch (white top, blue middle, red bottom) with a decorative folk-ornament band at its base, exactly like previous frames — clearly visible on his shoulder. He is the ONLY figure on the friendly side in frame. The ENEMY are far across no-man's-land: MODERN present-day soldiers in tactical helmets, body armour / plate carriers, multicam / digital- pixel camouflage, with BLUE-AND-YELLOW arm bands and shoulder patches. ALL blue-and-yellow marks belong ONLY to the far enemy. NO enemy near Korshun, NO blue-and-yellow on Korshun. CONTINUITY (Korshun — keep ALL of these): He has NO helmet — blown off earlier, head BARE, dark hair and beard. WOUNDED: a SINGLE small through-and-through CHEST wound with a modest ochre-blood stain on the cloth; body WHOLE and intact, NO large hole. Ochre-blood runs from his MOUTH. Keep all consistent. POSE / MOMENT (this scene): Korshun is DOWN IN COVER, sheltering INSIDE the trench, sunk low behind the sandbag parapet / earthen wall, head BELOW the parapet line. He is FADING — losing consciousness from blood loss. He has slid / slumped down the trench wall, his body going limp, shoulders sagging, head lolling and TIPPING BACK. His EYES ARE ROLLING BACK / half-closed — eyelids drooping, the whites of his eyes showing, gaze unfocused and drifting upward, on the edge of blacking out. His grip on the rifle is loosening, the weapon slipping in his weakening hand. His face is grey, drained, spent — a man slipping away, still clutching at the last of his strength. CAMERA / POSE (framing): We are down IN the trench with him, low intimate angle, close on his fading face and rolling eyes. Three-quarter view. The sandbag parapet / trench wall rises in front and above; the distant enemy glimpsed only beyond the top of the cover. He is sheltered BELOW the parapet, NOT standing, NOT exposed, NOT leaning over the top. SETTING: A DUG-IN defensive position — trench / dugout with sandbag parapet, timber revetment, broken fortification, craters, drifting smoke, debris; earthen walls enclosing him. Spent brass on the trench floor. NO buildings on fire behind him. SCENE: A quiet, harrowing fading moment. Korshun, the sole friendly figure and clear main subject, is slumped low inside the trench against the earthen wall, at the very end — bare- headed, dark hair, folk-ornamented kit, WHITE-BLUE-RED RUSSIAN-FLAG shoulder patch, the ochre-blood chest stain, ochre-blood at his mouth, body whole — his head tipping back, his EYES ROLLING BACK and half-shut as he starts to lose consciousness, his single intact AK slipping from his weakening grip, empty spent cartridge cases scattered around him showing his ammo is nearly gone. Beyond the top of the parapet, far across no-man's-land, the ENEMY are still ADVANCING, NOT retreating — MODERN soldiers in tactical helmets, body armour / plate carriers, multicam / digital-pixel camo, BLUE-AND-YELLOW arm bands — a SMALL far group closing in, refusing to fall back. Ash-grey, smoke-black, ember-red, blood-ochre palette; muted, draining light, drifting smoke. Low intimate angle, heavy sense of a man slipping away, flat painted light. Mood: a wounded fighter fading out of consciousness in his hole, last rounds spent, as the marked enemy keeps coming. NEGATIVE: no wide-open alert eyes, no bright focused staring eyes, no energetic pose, no standing up, no big piles of ammo, no full ammo boxes, no ammunition belts, no telephone, no smartphone, no mobile phone, no Korshun standing exposed, no Korshun leaning out over the parapet, no Korshun silhouetted above the wall, no Korshun out of cover, no broken gun, no broken AK, no snapped rifle, no shattered rifle, no bent weapon, no warped gun, no melted gun, no twisted barrel, no barrel bent at an angle, no curved barrel, no barrel in the wrong place, no double barrels, no two magazines, no detached or floating magazine, no floating detached rifle parts, no gun split in pieces, no stock detached, no backwards stock, no rifle merged into his arm or body, no extra gun, no second rifle, no half a gun, no distorted firearm, no anatomically wrong firearm, no missing Russian-flag patch, no missing shoulder flag, no bare unmarked shoulder on Korshun, no wrong-colour flag on Korshun, no blue-and-yellow flag on Korshun, no blue-and-yellow on Korshun's shoulder, no enemy retreating, no enemy running away, no enemy soldier next to Korshun, no blue-and-yellow soldier near Korshun, no Russian flag on the far enemy, no second friendly fighter, no ally beside him, no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no drones, no text on the patches, no lettering, no open bare empty field, no flat featureless steppe with no cover, no enemy without markings, no unmarked enemy, no burning checkpoint, no burning building behind him, no buildings behind him, no helmet on Korshun, no headgear on Korshun, no second Korshun, no twin, no duplicate hero, no missing chest wound, no huge bloody hole, no huge crowd of enemies, no massed horde, no body torn apart, no dismemberment, no exposed insides, no gore, no off-model Korshun, no medieval soldiers, no knights, no bogatyr, no spears, no shields, no swords, no chainmail or plate armour, no bows, no historical or fantasy army, no third arm, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text.
