I would like sounds to be available as .flac and .ogg vorbis and source format (if available).
I would like music to be available in .flac and .ogg vorbis and source format (if available).
I would like OGA to provide automatically-created .wav (in .zip) and .mp3 downloads for a donation fee (something like USD1 unlocks one art submission, USD5 unlocks 10, USD 20 unlocks 100.... or time-based stuff for >1USD instead).
There's an organization that seems to be something like the Software Freedom Law Center but for fan art: transformativeworks.org. Unfortunately they seem to focus on noncommercial fan works. (see "legal" in faq#t456n26 )
Ashiroxzer's work does not copy, from the HOMM2 image that serves as inspiration, any original style that is protected by copyright or parts of the image that are protected by copyright.
I see a problem regarding the title of the work and the Trademark of words used in the title.
I am assuming that the name of a work is part of a work and that it can have different names, just like the same work can be distributed under a variety of terms/licenses at the same time. I think that if Ashiroxzer decides that a version of this work exists, which has a generic name and is an inspired work, rather than a reproduction, then OGA could accept such a version of that work. Mentioning HOMM2 as inspiration would be acceptable and desireable (otherwise I'd personally consider it plagiarism).
Even if Ashiroxzer decides that there is such a version, I am just one of many OGA moderators. Either BartK (if available) or the majority of moderator opinions will have the last word.
Also if Ashiroxzer decides, that there is no version of this work under a generic name, this is settled. (It would have been the artists decision and I would support it.)
In my humble opinion, the wonderful work should also be shared under CCBYSA on dA. I recommend adding a disclaimer of "no affiliaction", if "HOMM2" is used in the title there.
Food for thought (assuming OGA didn't have quality standards ;) ):

Love it! Love UH for having it! :)

xpm is uncompressed? Then it should ideally be uploaded inside of archive files.

I see no problem regarding CCBYSA3 or copyright.
Because Ashiroxzer describes the work as a "remake" of a HOMM2 asset, it can not be used - in many game development scenarios - without a trademark license from the trademark owners of HOMM (tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4010:e8k4d4.4.12, tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4010:e8k4d4.4.13) - especially since CCBYSA3 requires the name of the work to be included - and thus should not be hosted on OGA.

OGA-acceptable submission(?):

OGA-inacceptable submission(!):
"Pokemon Pikachu Remake enemy sprite"
