Ident 2

Based on another random idea that entered my head, here is Ident number 2, in its early stages of development.




Here, Ste is shown happily sipping a bowl of curry/chilli/whatever your interpretation is of what's in the bowl... until he discovers that it's super hot and spicy, resulting in him running up and down the room breathing fire.

In this animation, there are actually two versions of Ste, with the one breathing fire acting as a sort of "stunt double". Here's a screengrab showing how the scene has been laid out:



Ste 1 is initially shown in the foreground, sipping the bowl. As he disappears off-screen, Ste 2 starts to run from left to right, with the flame moving at the same speed, making it look as though the flames are coming out of his mouth.

If you look carefully, you'll notice that Ste 1 has the original, motionless pair of legs, which you'll see if you pause the video about 6 seconds in... so he's basically sliding away from the table before Ste 2 runs in with the moving pair of legs.
