Create a 16:9 horizontal cover illustration for the Ukrainian folk tale “Покотигорошко”**, in a richly detailed, magical Ukrainian folk-art and in the same style as the attached image The main character is **Покотигорошко**, a powerful young Ukrainian hero with a brave, determined expression. He has dark hair and wears traditional Ukrainian clothing: a white embroidered vyshyvanka with red geometric patterns, dark trousers, a wide red sash, and sturdy boots. He is holding a **massive traditional iron mace (булава)**, emphasizing his legendary strength. Place Покотигорошко as the central focal point in a dramatic Ukrainian countryside landscape. Behind him, show a **large mysterious dragon/serpent's stone fortress or cave**, with the defeated serpent looming in the background. Include his **brothers and sister being rescued from beneath a huge stone**, creating a sense of heroic adventure and triumph. Surround the main scene with subtle elements from the story: **a giant green pea rolling toward a village well**, an elderly mother carrying wooden buckets, a blacksmith forging the enormous mace, a shepherd with sheep, a herdsman with cattle, and a swineherd with pigs. Include distant golden fields, forests, hills, a dirt road, and a traditional Ukrainian village. The serpent should look **mythical and imposing rather than terrifying**, with dark green scales, large wings or serpentine features, and an ancient fantasy appearance. The hero should appear powerful but still youthful and noble. Use **rich Ukrainian folk motifs, traditional embroidery patterns, warm golden sunlight, dramatic clouds, painterly textures, natural earthy colors, magical atmosphere, expressive characters, and a nostalgic vintage Ukrainian children's fairy-tale book aesthetic**. Make the composition **wide, cinematic, and dynamic**, with Покотигорошко clearly visible in the center, his mace prominently displayed, and the surrounding story elements naturally integrated into the landscape. Leave some **clean negative space in the upper portion for the title “Покотигорошко”**. **16:9 landscape format, no text, no letters, no typography, no watermark.**
