Painterly 2.5D Dragon (4.0 Flash)

Prompt

Cinematic 2.5D animation in the style of fully painterly rendering, characters and environments look like gouache concept-art paintings in motion, visible brush texture on skin, cloth and buildings, flat posterized color blocks with hard-edged light shapes, matte finish, soft filmic volumetric lighting, shallow depth of field. NOT flat 2D cartoon, NO bold black outlines, NO cel-shading, NOT glossy CGI, NOT Unreal Engine, NO photorealism, no plastic skin.

ENVIRONMENT / WORLD :Ash-rift volcanic canyon with cracked white salt-rime ground, towering dark basalt pinnacles, glowing molten fissure seams, ancient ruined stone viaduct arches in midground, and a smoldering amber caldera sky dissolved in heat mist. 
CHARACTERS: 
Kip : Slender scout, rust-orange hair, freckles, draped charcoal mantle, olive vest, burnt-sienna trousers, heavy chestnut mechanical gauntlet. 

Ignis-Vael : Colossal obsidian dragon, faceted black scales, crimson wing membranes, swept-back horns, amber eyes. Bonded allies.

MULTI-CUT SEQUENCE (20 SECONDS TOTAL):[CUT 1 | 00:00–04:00 | WIDE TRACKING]: Low tracking move along the salt-rime canyon floor. Kip strides past dark basalt crags, ruined stone arches in distant haze. He stops and looks to the sky.[CUT 2 | 04:00–08:50 | IMPACT WIDE]: Hard cut to low angle. Ignis-Vael drops through orange smoke, slamming talons into frozen earth, scattering ash. Kip turns smoothly with a calm smirk, mantle flaring.[CUT 3 | 08:50–14:50 | MEDIUM CLOSE-UP]: Hard cut. Kip extends his mechanical gauntlet; the giant dragon lowers its horned head and presses its snout into his palm. Amber throat-glow lights Kip's face as steam vents from nostrils.[CUT 4 | 14:50–20:00 | HERO POSTER FRAME]: Hard cut to low-angle tableau. Kip stands beside the towering beast as it spreads massive crimson wings against the burning caldera sky, venting smoke upward. Hold frame. 
LIGHTING & ATMOSPHERE:Low amber magma under-glow, rear caldera rim-light, cool slate shadow fill. Volumetric heat haze and drifting ash flakes.

NEGATIVE:photorealism, glossy CGI, 3D render, plastic textures, anime, flat cartoon lineart, cel-shaded outlines, fighting each other, fear, weapons drawn, text, watermark
