You'd probably get more responses if you hosted your images on a site that didn't require people to register and log on to a different forum in order to view them, and then posted them inline instead of as links.
I like the overall style of the piece, but I think planning ahead will do you wonders. Right now it looks like you didn't think about what limbs would go where.

Yeah them some bluuuurry scans or pics or whatever. But cool.
I like the tanks and stuff, but it seems like at some point things are just being added for the sake of it. The images have a nice abstract quality to them, but as a believable piece of machinery they need to have a more solid construction in my opinion. It's not that they can't have crazy shit piled on them, but it's just not believable conceptually in the way that it was done.
Hey Travistravis, I'm really digging your work and I'm getting very annoyed at the shoddy pictures you have of it. So allow me to give you some suggestions on how to get better pictures. I assume you do not have a scanner or your work is so large it would not fit under one?
Right, so assuming we're looking at big pictures here...
1. Take pictures in proper lighting. Shoot during the day, in a brightly lit room and make sure light falls on the picture (preferably without casting annoying reflections). You want to do this because your camera has to compensate for the low light situation, which results in the typical artefacts (light spots) in your pictures.
2. Hold the picture and your camera as still as possible. Preferably put your picture on an easel and your camera on a tripod. Try to make sure the photo is not moved at all.
3. Shoot in the highest possible quality setting on your camera. The more detail the better, of course!
4. Don't let the website you're using shrink your images. Use a program such as IrfanView so you have some influence on the end result, you can also adjust the brightness and contrast with IrfanView, in case the pictures are brighter/sharper in real life. Judging from your troubles with posting a picture on the internet you might want to set some time apart to fiddle around with the program or ask a more tech-savvy friend to help out.
I think I'm in love, kicking conceptual work. But scanner, clearer pictures, something. Your robbing a lot from your work with this quality of picture taking.
Ahaha, these call to mind images of Akira, MGS, aaaand... Yasuhiro Nightow, for the "where the heck are those cyber-limbs coming from" sensibility you've got going. Maybe a little of SCUD: The Disposable Assassin thrown in for good measure (by that I mean "scud". D plus colon is not always a face, computer!!). Really neat.
It would be cool to see them in some kind of story context. Maybe a splashy fight scene? Why is there a T-square behind that guy's knee?

I like what you have going though.

Mystic Cat is either the spirit of a dead cat or an enchanted cape.
Do you have access to a scanner?
The mecha kitty is amazing.

Really. Keep at it and get a scanner!
