I like March better than February, because I get more time to actually finish stuff and give it the polish I want.
I wasn't able to finish all the pieces based on your suggestions, but I'm going to post what I got done for now. There's a few others close to completion that need a little more time in the oven, so I'll be posting the rest this month. Here's what I have for now.

You know what I realized, taking suggestions is a good opportunity for me to tackle some characters I wouldn't otherwise think of doing just yet. It's very cool.
There's actually a few of the suggestions that gave me inspiration for much bigger pieces too, it's quite motivating. But as a result I'll have to spend more time on them and release it a bit later because it's going to require a lot more work getting the characters and the assets to look just the way I want.
Here's an example. Not sure I should post this so soon, it's just an early stage concept picture I made to check if the idea can work and if I can get the assets and the setting to work.

As a fan of the games first and foremost, I want to do everything I can to make it look faithful beyond just the characters. The setting and the visuals also have to be on point. I don't like the idea of using random looking assets/backgrounds that don't belong to the franchise, which is what other artists do most of the time.
That poolside area from DOAX2 being one of the biggest offenders. You just see it in everything, not just DOA works. It always irks me a little.
Not exactly blaming them, they use whatever they can get their hands on, not really going the extra mile... but not me. It's either canon looking assets and setting, or nothing.

But obviously it requires more prep work to set everything properly. I think whatever I'll end up doing with it will be worth going through that process beforehand, though.
Needless to say I have my work cut out for me, with not only the suggestions but my other ongoing projects as well. But I love it. I'm getting very motivated by the possibilities, and ideas start popping up in my head.

Something to look forward to, that's for for sure.
