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 poster composition, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheets (Ember Rurik + Ashen Rurik). Keep BOTH exactly on-model, and CRUCIALLY the SAME face on both — they are one man, two versions of one soul (NOT two different people, NOT a man and a woman).
SCENE: Two mirrored profiles of the SAME man facing each other like an icon diptych, separated by a thin vertical band of golden ornamental pattern. LEFT: Ashen Rurik — battle-worn, scar across his eye, muted ash-grey and faded blue tones, tired eyes. RIGHT: Ember Rurik — the same face unscarred, warm ember-orange and crimson tones, eyes clear and open. Between them, a small folk-art flame passes from the left man's outstretched hand toward the right. Symmetrical poster composition, one soul in two colors. Solemn, sacrificial mood.
