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, resting across his lap / leaned in the trench 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. RADIO (critical — a military radio, NOT a phone): A MILITARY PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO / walkie-talkie handset — a chunky rugged field radio with a stubby ANTENNA and coiled push- to-talk handset, olive-drab or black — still held weakly to his ear as he listens. It is clearly a rugged military radio, NOT a smartphone, NOT a mobile phone, NOT a flat glass phone. 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. ARTILLERY STRIKE ON THE ENEMY (this scene): Far across no-man's-land, on the ENEMY side, a FRIENDLY ARTILLERY BARRAGE is landing ON the enemy — big flat folk-art shell-blast bursts of fire, smoke columns and flying earth erupting AMONG the modern enemy soldiers, throwing them off their feet, the advancing blue-and-yellow-marked enemy being smashed and scattered by the incoming fire. The explosions are ONLY on the distant enemy side, NOT on Korshun's position — his trench is safe in the foreground. POSE / MOMENT (this scene — he stays CONSCIOUS): Korshun is DOWN IN COVER inside the trench, sunk low behind the sandbag parapet, head below the parapet line. He has just seen the artillery hammer the enemy and heard over the radio that a special-forces unit has arrived. His physical STRENGTH is draining out of him — his body sags and goes heavy, he slumps weakly against the trench wall, exhausted and spent. BUT HE IS STILL CONSCIOUS AND AWAKE: his EYES ARE OPEN, aware, watching — not rolled back, not shut. A wave of RELIEF and a faint weary smile of peace cross his conscious face as he takes in the strike and the news. He weakly holds the radio to his ear, alive and lucid but utterly drained — losing his physical strength, NOT losing consciousness, NOT passing out. CAMERA / POSE (framing): Low intimate angle, down in the trench with him, close on his relieved, conscious, open-eyed face as he slumps. Three-quarter view. The parapet rises in front; the distant artillery blasts on the enemy glimpsed beyond the top of the cover. He is sheltered BELOW the parapet, slumped, NOT standing, NOT exposed. SETTING: A DUG-IN defensive position — trench / dugout with sandbag parapet, timber revetment, broken fortification, craters, drifting smoke, scattered spent brass on the floor. NO buildings on fire behind him. SCENE: A moment of conscious relief. Korshun, the sole friendly figure and clear main subject, slumps weakly but AWAKE low inside the trench against the earthen 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 — his physical strength draining away as he sags, yet his EYES OPEN and aware, a faint relieved, peaceful smile on his exhausted face, weakly pressing the military radio to his ear. Beyond the top of the parapet, far across no-man's-land, FRIENDLY ARTILLERY is smashing the ENEMY — big shell- blasts of fire and flying earth among the MODERN soldiers (tactical helmets, body armour, multicam / digital-pixel camo, BLUE-AND-YELLOW arm bands), the enemy scattered and falling under the barrage. Ash-grey, smoke-black, ember-red, blood-ochre palette; warm easing light on Korshun's conscious face, hot blast accents on the far enemy line. Low intimate angle, heavy sense of hard-won relief in a man who is spent but still awake, flat painted light. Mood: conscious relief and drained strength — the enemy crushed by artillery, rescue on the way, a wounded fighter sagging but still awake and watching. NEGATIVE: no closed eyes, no eyes rolled back, no eyes rolling up, no whites of the eyes showing, no unconscious Korshun, no passed-out Korshun, no fainting, no blacking out, no limp lifeless head lolling fully back, no dead-looking Korshun, no artillery landing on Korshun, no explosion on the defenders' side, no blast in Korshun's trench, no wide-open alert energetic pose, no standing up, no Korshun exposed above the parapet, no telephone, no smartphone, no mobile phone, no flat glass phone, no phone instead of a radio, 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 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.
