I can't help you with programs, but if you want to make animations you should start by first making 1 frame (1 picture). You find normal HOMM3 creatures and HOMM2 creatures here. This is just 1 frame but you could try t animate the HOMM2 Lich on your own, and use for example paint to put the hybrid thing together. Just take parts from the different creatures and put them together, after you've done that you can post it in the Possible Creature thread and get more help after that.

I think i can help yuo 
How to put modified Def ?
First yuo need H3sprite.exe file and Empty Batch File
Then Modify def file then copy modified def file to data directory,press right button on batch file and press edit,then write
H3sprite @filename.def
del filename.def
save and exit from batch file.Finaly run Batch File and enjoy
third question: know how to unpack def files ,and get bmp from there?
With program Defview

First what the thingin homm is ''Chest''
Second maybe they are wrong size,wrong colour system(not 256 ),maybe yuo coppied wrong format,maybe ..... Try upload somwhere not archive with all not modified chest files and archive with modified files.RAR.When i can look and maybe find mistake

If you have Heroes 2, then you should be able to get the frames straight from the game files.
If it's like H3, then you can just find them there, if it's like Might and Magic then you might need a program to extract them, but either way you shouldn't have to animate your own H2 lich..
