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): 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. Normal realistic length, now lying across his lap or resting in the mud beside him, whole and undamaged. 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. 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. 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. 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 — head BARE, dark hair and beard. WOUNDED: a SINGLE small through-and-through CHEST wound with a modest ochre-blood stain; body WHOLE and intact, NO large hole. Ochre-blood runs from his MOUTH. Keep all consistent. POSE / MOMENT (this scene): Korshun has FALLEN INTO THE MUD at the bottom of the trench — he has sunk down and is sitting / half-lying in the wet muddy trench floor, LEANING his back and shoulder against the TIMBER LOG REVETMENT — the rough wooden logs / beams lining the trench wall — using the logs to prop himself up. He is utterly spent, filthy with mud and blood, limbs heavy, barely holding his head up, but his eyes are OPEN just enough to WATCH — he gazes out over the low cover at the enemy in the distance, an exhausted, quiet look of grim satisfaction and release on his mud-streaked face as he sees them break. CAMERA / POSE (framing): Low intimate angle, down in the muddy trench with him, seeing him slumped against the timber logs in the foreground, and beyond the top of the cover the distant enemy in retreat. Three-quarter view of his tired watching face. He is DOWN in the trench, NOT standing, NOT exposed above the parapet. SETTING: A DUG-IN defensive position — muddy trench / dugout with sandbag parapet and rough TIMBER LOG revetment (wooden logs / beams shoring the walls), wet churned mud on the floor, craters, drifting smoke, scattered spent brass. NO buildings on fire behind him. ENEMY IN RETREAT WITH HEAVY LOSSES (this scene): Far across no-man's-land the ENEMY are now RETREATING — the MODERN soldiers (tactical helmets, body armour / plate carriers, multicam / digital-pixel camo, BLUE-AND-YELLOW arm bands) are TURNING and FLEEING away from us toward the far horizon, backs to Korshun, running / withdrawing in disarray. They are suffering HEAVY LOSSES: many enemy DOWN — bodies and fallen soldiers strewn across the smoking, cratered no-man's-land, smoke and burnt earth from the artillery, only a scattered few still fleeing. Clearly a beaten enemy in full withdrawal, not advancing. SCENE: The quiet aftermath of victory. Korshun, the sole friendly figure and clear main subject, has fallen into the mud and props himself against the rough timber logs of the trench wall — 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, mud- streaked and spent — watching with tired, quietly satisfied eyes as, far across the smoking cratered field beyond his cover, the BLUE-AND-YELLOW-marked enemy RETREAT in disarray, their backs turned, fleeing away, with many of their dead scattered across the ground — a beaten enemy taking heavy losses. His single intact AK rests across his lap. Ash-grey, smoke-black, ember-red, blood-ochre palette; soft easing light on Korshun, cold smoky distance over the retreating enemy. Low intimate angle, heavy sense of hard-won survival and release, flat painted light. Mood: exhausted grim satisfaction — a wounded fighter down in the mud, watching the beaten enemy flee. NEGATIVE: no enemy advancing, no enemy charging forward, no enemy attacking, no enemy facing Korshun, no fresh strong enemy, no enemy near Korshun, no blue-and-yellow soldier in the trench, no artillery landing on Korshun, no explosion in Korshun's trench, no Korshun standing, no Korshun exposed above the parapet, no clean dry ground, no telephone, no smartphone, 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 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.
