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!

I like your style; proportions as noted are a little off, but still great work.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

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.).

Wow! This is right up my alley! This is the kind of art that would be a perfect fit in my Der Tag AU.

Love the art.

Especially when you focus on things other than fighting, such as maintenance! Warms this old Sergeant's heart  O0
