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 sheets (The Devil + Igor): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, hair, proportions, costume, ornament. ATTACHMENT ORDER: the 1st sheet is THE DEVIL — copy him exactly: a long GOAT-LIKE SKULL for a head, tall CURLING RAM HORNS with ring motifs, a mane of black smoke-flame hair, soot-black skin cracked with glowing ember lines, a tattered CRIMSON-AND-BLACK caftan with chains; head low on a short thick neck. The 2nd sheet is IGOR: about twenty, SHORT light-brown SPIKY hair, clean-shaven, BLACK leather armor with red embroidery and a RED SASH, dark half-cloak, BOTH ARMS WHOLE. The 3rd image is the PREVIOUS FRAME — use it only for the light, the colors and where the two weapons sit in the demon's eyes. ONLY TWO CHARACTERS: the Devil and Igor. Nobody else in the frame. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. THE TWO WEAPONS IN THE DEMON'S EYES — draw them exactly like this: — in his RIGHT eye: Artyom's NAGINATA, a long red-brown wrapped wooden shaft sticking out; — in his LEFT eye: MISHA'S VILLAGE SWORD — a plain, STRAIGHT, double-edged European-style arming sword with a simple straight iron CROSSGUARD, a short brown leather-wrapped grip and a ROUND iron pommel. It is NOT a katana: no curve, no round tsuba, no black diamond-wrapped handle. The only katana in the frame is Igor's own, sheathed at his hip. SCENE: «Swallow This»: The Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds», blinded, has hunched down low, his goat skull lowered almost to Igor's height, jaws gaping wide in a roar, flat ember light and black smoke-flame motifs spilling from both pierced sockets. Igor «Klinok» has stepped in close from the side. His LEFT hand grips one of the demon's curling ram horns to hold the head steady. His RIGHT hand is a normal human hand — fingers and knuckles clearly visible — CLOSED AROUND THE BASE of the CRYSTAL OF DESTRUCTION: a separate object, a tall dark-crimson faceted spike of stone blazing from within, sticking out FORWARD from his fist with its pointed tip already pushed between the demon's fangs into the open jaws. His fist and wrist stay OUTSIDE the mouth, in plain view. Flat crimson rays from the crystal light Igor's face from below: teeth gritted, eyes hard. Forest clearing, carved stone columns, pines, red dusk sky with a black sun. Mood: the end of the monster. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no katana in the demon's eye, no curved sword in the eye, no tsuba on Misha's sword, no hand made of crystal, no crystal fused with the hand, no crystal instead of fingers, no arm inside the mouth, no crystal on a hilt, no pale teal crystal, no human demon, no human face on the demon, no realistic blood, no gore, no missing arm, no extra arms, no disembodied hands, no twisted anatomy, no katana in the demon's hand, no third character.
