Original Request
Wow! Your last request went so well that I'm back already. Would you please draw Valkrana and Ilyana again? I'd like for you draw them as if they're a frame in the OP for the anime. The presentation is entirely up to you. This time, Valkrana should wear her outfit from the reference images instead of the maid outfit.
[Characters]
Valkrana is a half-skeletal monster girl with an extra arm. She died when she was a 10-year-old child. Valkrana is very awkward. She's a low energy person. Her expression is usually apathetic.
Ilyana is a refined elf. She's confident, heroic, and an ojou-sama.
If it matters, Valkrana is a necromancer and Ilyana is a master of flame and psychic abilities.

Client Response
Thank you! As an otaku, seeing my TRPG characters rendered in keyframes really helps to imagine them in an anime, and you do it so well. I'm impressed. It's nice that you're interested in TRPG, too. I hope I get to enjoy some of your animation, even if I don't know it's yours. Maybe I already have.
Thanks again for taking the time to entertain my request. I left it open-ended because I wondered what you'd choose for a frame from an OP, and I love where you landed. It has a real feeling of motion, enough that I can envision the movement before and after.
