Monster Short - Sneak character look

My friend Norman Morana and I have been working on a flash animation short together. So far we are past the character design part, moving in to background/layout and animation.
Since my end is the flash rig and animation, I wanted to show a little bit of what I have worked on. 

Here are the designs of both the monster character and Emaline. Later I will post more process art.

So far the rig is limited. We are trying a new process of using illustrator line effects to make the character look less "like flash". We love the line quality but are currently troubleshooting import and size issues.
