Thanks for the comments, guys--I've been doing stuff for other people instead, so my own work's gotten shabby of late.

Wow, you have some cool designs, but like assault gundam said, some "meh" designs are in there too.
Just from a quick scan through your work, I can say I like the Kshatriya body armor, the Mastiff, and some others. Keep it up!

*discovers this thread for the first time*
Holy crap. These are incredible. Even if somebody says a design of yours is so-so, you draw and paint said so-so designs awesomely.'
I like your Koto, Oai, Keyrl, and Grendel designs, as well as Zhanno Pavlichenko.

Great stuff, Ryujin. Very, very well drawn/crafted.

Mucho thanks for the vote of confidence, guys.
It's been a long journey for me, and the path keeps getting harder, but I'm glad to know it's all starting to pay off.

The Keryl sort of reminds me of the Anf  . Great work!

Great work as always, Ryujin. Must say, I really like your aesthetic. Great job giving the walkers a WWII look, too. Keep it up!

Joint project:
Interpretation of Freek's rough concept (In b4 Master Chief).
Revisiting and revising an old creation:
G-MACE
Anno Astra:
Character designs in progress:
Colonel (?)
Captain (?)
Cassandra Andros
A princess (?)
Mecha designs in progress:
Organic demisuit concept
In relation to the above pic, I'm playing with the concept of mecha that are more grown than built. Assuming that an organism was bio-engineered to be similar in performance & function to a machine of similar size (5-6 meters or so), what would be its pros & cons? Would it be sufficiently cost-effective to justify its existence? I've got some ideas on this but I'd like to hear your opinions on the subject. _________________ RINRIN NANO DA!!

Assuming performances are similar, it probably depends on whether or not the bio-mech is self-repairing, sentient, and/or symbiotic.
One of the biggest pro's of organisms is that maintainence is low due to not needing replacement parts, etc. However, organisms can get sick, and you can't just replace damaged parts (they need to heal).
What is it fueled by? Commonly available materials make for cheap fuel, but is it efficient enough? Real-type robots tend to have nuclear reactors of some kind, which are expensive to make, but run for quite some time. Horses eat grasses, which are cheap but don't fuel the beast for long.
Is it intelligent? It doesn't need to be very intelligent to dodge an attack that you didn't notice (if it did) but can it make it's own decisions? Move on it's own? Countermand your orders? Improve on your strategies?
How does the pilot interface? (related to above) Can the pilot jump in with control sticks and fly as normal? or does he need to meld with the organism to achieve maximum efficiency? (which can get messy for extraction)
All of these are questions that need to be answered not only for reference, but also relative to the mecha you are comparing it to. Ie: If the metal-mecha you are comparing it to has an AI system, then it's similar to an intelligent organism, whereas a non-AI model is at a distinct disadvantage. And so forth, but it's all relative to the models you are comparing it to.
Btw, I enjoy looking at your work, it is quite good

Are you running some sort of spyware program? It's virtually identical to what I wrote down. 
Anyways, to address some technical points:
--The organism is, technically, a cyborg since a number of components, such as sensors, control interface, equipment hardpoints and operator's compartment, are implanted into it.
--Fuel is a 'mush' created by fermenting biomass in a special bacterial culture provided by the manufacturer. The organism itself can convert tissue into energy for limited emergency operation.
--Major repairs, if necessary, can be effected by surgical grafts; of course, a recovery period is required afterwards.
--Brain activity would probably be at a low, instinctual level, but matched with a rudimentary AI similar to the ones used in vehicles of more conventional construction. Basic operations, dodging threats, helps a lot in keeping balance & negotiating difficult terrain.
--Control interface is standard; he can jump in and immediately take the manual controls, or use a neural control interface for progressive levels of control, starting with sensory feedback down to fine motor control & eventually to a totally immersive state. Extraction won't be messy, as the setup is pretty standard. In this setting, the interface is standard for everything from powered armor to 10+ meter humanoid vehicles, not just this particular example.
--Also, if the organism has to breath, its operational range will be limited to planets with a certain range of atmosphere types, barring the use of special equipment.
All this is tentative, of course. Haven't developed the concepts further since I'm looking for outside input. _________________ RINRIN NANO DA!!
