The quality of the art is great, so please take this as intended to be helpful.

The average 'Mech is 10m-12m tall or thereabouts, with the tallest about 15m. Bird-legged designs like the Raven & Men Shen probably come down to 8m-10m.

The Raven is about 2.5 times as tall as the standing MechWarrior. This would put it between 4m-5m tall, based on humans being between 1.5m and 2m tall. So the scale just doesn't look quite right.

(I do think it's safe to assume that the standing MechWarrior is roughly next to the sitting one, so we can ignore depth effects).

That small quibble aside, I like them very much, and look forward to seeing more!

Thank you! I hope you don't mind a small suggestion: The last one could be a little more battletech-y, though, perhapy by putting in some insignia that identify the soldiers or by reparting a part of a Mech which is easily recognizable (the "eye" of an Atlas e.g.).

That series seems epic (Kantocelle Quest?) But I can't find it except mentioned on 4chan.

I like it. You clearly took some inspiration from modern German military history. I get some Bundeswehr-vibes due to the camouflage colours of the vehicles, but this kind of field cap worn by AFV crew is rather WWII-style. I also like that you incorporated the 3rd Lyran Guards (though I obviously prefer them not being purple...).

Very nice job! If anything I'd suggest using epaulettes if you want that 20th century German military look.
