Great work you're are a very good 2d artist. I'm really good at drawing what i see, in front of me, but i for the life of me cannot draw something from my own head.

I really like all these characters Kurt, watching you model any of them would be a lesson well worth watching imho. I do like the ape idea but these guys are really great. Perhaps the first one looks a bit simian - I liked your idea in the other thread of learning more about people modelling with a twist.

The first one loosely reminds me of a prettier version of one of the demons of shimone from Ninja Scroll....the evil dwarf with the hunchback that's a giant wasp hive (mushizo). I think a character sketching/drawing development video would be interesting as well.

The girl would make a fun one to model...plus it would be nice to model a full character.

Kurt do you have a resume or biography we can read about you? You are a great artist in all aspects. Was wondering how you got into all of this and how your education came about.
