Looks great! Your lines are very clean, and you have an excellent sense of anatomy! The expression on the muffin one is great, too. :3

Though I would watch your line width and ensure that you aren't compromising overall appeal for a particular style. Specifically speaking, in the first image it's clear you made your outlines thicker than the inner detail lines. Now, while that's fine, the eye also assumes that thicker lines are closer to you, so having the entire arm be thickly outlined, and then suddenly getting thin as it crosses over the leg creates some weird overlap at first glance. So, I'd say just be sure your line weight is consistent throughought each little section of the creature to avoid tricking the eyes to think something you don't want them to.

All in all, though, excellent work! I love the way you did the mouth in the third one! :D

I like the overall thicker outlines approach. I use it in my art and it works well. It's like the Grand Theft Auto art style. They use that technique and I love the way they draw people. :)

Oh when you have your vectors open in Illustrator just take the white arrow (I'm pretty sure it's the white if not the left) and make a box around the whole thing. It will highlight red. Then hit ctrl c. Then open photoshop and hit file new and chose the same dimensions as your original piece. Then hit ctrl v and select pixles and it will paste it right in.
