STEPS
- Duplicate the correct character canvas and anchor.
- Change the palette to soot and ash tones, preserving recognizable hat and beard shapes.
- Add a short smoke or stunned pose sequence if needed.
- Define whether the state ends in recovery, restart or another animation, and export accordingly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
