Thanks! The character is being used for my webcomic Antics of Creation, and action poses are more fun to draw, even for mages who might not need them. So, I wanted to make her kind of lunge and power up (maybe influenced by Dragonball Z "kamehameha" kind of pose, not intentionally, but quite possible).
This particular animation isn't planned for a panel in the comic, but I'd love to experiment with overlaying animated characters into the panels.
