DinoMonsters, new breed of superheroes (Step-by-Step Added 07/13)

[a i r]

In-Depth Mini-Tutorial Added (See Bottom of Post)

Hello fellow Z-artist's!
I was working my ass of past few months.
I quit my job in TV company to start a career as a cgi artist with emphasis on character design.
It would be hard to do without Zbrush!
This is premiere release! This is their first public appearance!!

Note:
If you got interested in the concept past this thread and these two images, you are welcome to visit home of DinoMonsters on following link: www.DinoMonsters.com
The web page is filled with number of really good looking renders(but be the judge for your self) turntables and other fun content.

They are group of characters called DinoMonsters.
They are mutants, half man half dinosaurs.
I'm trying to make them into a comic book/character art book/toy, and what not, and push this thing further.
I've developed whole story behind these characters and as I write this post I'm finishing on sketching out the very first episode.
I have wrote six connected stories about how they became what they are, and further on how they formed DinoMonster team and so fort.
It will be a genuine superhero comic book or graphic novel.
Also, I'm using DinoMonsters to showcase my skills, to try and get some commissioned work my ways.
Comments welcomed!

Here are three images:

This is Ty, the leader of the group.


This is Stiks, he's a though guy!


Stiks, fighting the mutated Red eared slider pet turtle. Not so cute now!






Mini-Tutorial
Here is a small step by step on how I created one of DinoMonsters images.
I love playing with matcaps in photoshop, really allows for some great results.
Would be great to move the tutorial on the first post of the thread for the accessibility.





Regards!

This is some cool looking stuff. I really like the coloring on them. IMHO their heads seem too small.

Awesome designs. I love them, I would watching a movie or show with them in them. I love dinosaurs and your characters are pretty sweet.

Remind me of a cartoon I loved Growing up called Dinosaucers.

Awesome Job!!!!
