Awesome concept art.
I'm also in a team working on a 3D animation series project, but so far, it's on hiatus until I get other side projects (two of which are related to the 3D animation one) done and re-gather the online team. Work keeps getting in the way too.
Wish I could help, but all I know I can do for sure is write stories (but I'm more of a Sci-fi writer). I've never managed to model something properly (can't make realistic stuff) in Maya yet, and only have done simple animation / lighting and texturing.
I'm no good at shading, but I can draw. Still, I gave up on sketching with the pencil and paper in favor of computer programs where I can keep erasing without ruining the paper.
Anyway, I wish you good luck with the project, hope it becomes something awesome.
