What to Stream, What to Stream...

Hey patrons, Omni here looking for some valuable feedback:
In the interest of starting to introduce some variety in the content output on the channel, I'd like the next stream to be something other than Rayman ReSmashified. Don't worry, Rayman streams will continue, but given that there's some planning needed on that project, I'd like to jump onto a new project in the meantime, and I'd love to know which of these you'd like to see.
I'll preface the poll by outlining what each potential next project will be all about:
ReRendered series: Mario Generations (3D Model)
Like many planned series for ReRendered, Mario Generations is about reimagining characters—in this case, that character is Mario. This series will be taking a look back at past iterations of Mario's design and depicting them with modern flair. The series will start with a modern rendering of the Mario model from Super Mario 64, where we'll take that old low-poly model and translating it literally into HD, strange proportions and all!
ReRendered one-off: Kotabe DK (3D Model)
In 1994, Rareware famously launched the Donkey Kong Country series, which debuted a brand new redesign of the famous ape, Donkey Kong. But before this game, Donkey Kong looked quite different! Originally designed by Miyamoto, DK's design was later refined in iconic Mario style by Yoichi Kotabe before Rareware brought the design out of the style of Mario and into a new style that would become iconic in its own way. But what if the Rareware redesign never happened? What if the Kotabe design was allowed to evolve in much the same way that Mario's design has in very subtle ways over the years? For this project, we'll be creating our take on what DK might look like today if that was the timeline.
This was a project that I actually started last year for an art contest entry that I didn't end up finishing after receiving some client work, but I thought it would be fun to finish this project for the channel.
ReRendered miniseries: Realistic Pokemon Gen 8 Starter Concepts (3D Sculpt + Painting)
As you're probably well aware, the next mainline Pokemon games, Sword and Shield, were officially unveiled in a recent Pokemon direct, and along with it, we saw the Gen 8 starter pokemon! With all the excitement surrounding Detective Pikachu and its realistic take on beloved Pokemon designs, I thought it would be fun to try our hand at creating concepts for the 3 starters. Mind you, these wouldn't be fully photorealistic renders of the concepts, as this would take a lot more time than I think most people are willing to wait, but they'll still be realistic enough to feel like complete designs.
Of these 3 projects, which would you like to see first?

Man, It's been more or less a dead heat between 64 Mario HD and Realistic Pokemon. o_o We might need to take to twitter to break the tie. Only a few more hours left to get your vote in, so don't miss out!

Voted for Mario Generations. Considering this seems to be a longform series, experimenting with Mario's 64 proportions & anatomy in a modern scope makes a wonderful interlude from Rayman ReSmashified to the rest.
