Monster Champs and Greenscreens

So here's what I've been up to the past couple days.
I've been trying to figure out how to model and rig a simple character in maya. I needed some little
pokemon looking monsters for this upcoming MonsterChamps thing we're working on so this fits perfectly.
The thing I was trying to learn with this is modeling something off of reference and making it actually look the same.
Here are a couple screenshots of the reference and the 3d model.




They're all really simple characters but that was kind of what I was going for.


Also, yesterday was spent taking apart an old loft and setting up a big ol' green screen in my bedroom. Should be exciting.
