This is a very, very rough test – but contemplating adding slight animation to the final page of chapter 2.
I should probably be using fade/opacity transitions for this and not frames, but, I both don’t know how to do that in Krita (yet, if the function is there), and I’m also partial to frame animation to probably a detrimental degree, haha.

Decided to practice a bit more with this (separate) test, and also widened the aspect ratio. I’m not planning on finishing this because it was mainly unplanned practice, and the way I set up the file is pretty messy. Mainly after the initial sketch, I made a layer and just drew on top of each keyframe – both the character and the background. This would probably make it too time-prohibitive if I wanted to try and fix every error and make the frames motion read more smoothly, haha.
Really fun to do though, and it gave me a good sense for how Krita’s timework works now. Should make it easier for me to add some small animation to Chapter 2’s final page at some point!
Anyway, earlier WIP versions in the full post below:

Did an even rougher frame test to better familiarize myself with Krita’s animation timeline. This is definitely practice, and not something I’d consider finished.
A few earlier versions in the full post below:
I tried a lot of tinting/color washes over the frames, before deciding I think I like the contrast of the versions without those color tints. Then, I decided the opposite. I think that means I need to sleep on it. Haha. Below is a version without the color tints, that’s close to the most recent WIP:
