Ok. The first image is too blurry to be sure,but I think that's a blob-ish creature smoking a pipe and a cigarette. Can't really tell you much because of the scanning, really.

The second one is the sort of art I don't think anyone can find viscerally emotional, but as a composition it is interesting, in the way modrian or kandinsky or general geometric abstraction is interesting. I urge you to read some of modrian's thesis so that you understand the esoteric significance of the style you're emulating here. For example, horisontial lines represent femininity and vertical lines masculinity and other such. I personally find most types of symbolistic art to be rubbish, but geometric abstraction isn't one I've studied enough to have an oppinion on.

The third one. Red Robot Destroy. Fire! Fire! DESTROY ALL FEELIES! A NEW BREED OF MAN-KILLER

Yus.


The general shapes of the raging red robot of destruction are ok. The scenery is minimally implemented, to the point that I'm not sure what's going on in the lower left part. That's my basic crit.

About the fourth piece. I think it's brilliant. The kinda 'naive' of the colouring fits the subject matter a million times better than detailed work would. The red robot is captured best in a world of contrast, I think. I love how the paint-job isn't level and it's a nice clash with the flood-fill yellow background (good complementing colour on the red, too) I like the flames, everything! I wish I had drawn that one. Maybe I'd have put laser eyes and maybe crashing a helicopter with the claw, but I think this is awesome.
