Great stuff on here, I love all these brawny monsters and the fantasy-themed action is a great defining feature of you work. The painting style you have works well too, really nice how you control the sharp to hazy sort of feel it has is used to direct viewer attention. The warmths in the dark areas is pleasing too.
In terms of crits, I would say that the thing that stands out most to me is the draughtsmanship on the figures. The actual anatomy looks OK - things are in the right place, good sense of 'fleshiness', and the exaggerations make sense and look cool - but there are occasional little structural and proportion errors that are a bit distracting. For instance, in the latest painting, the more distant hand is around the same size as the nearest one, though it could help to make the farthest one a bit smaller to indicate perspective and reduce 'flatness'. This is working way better on the giant in the Ambush picture - he is really popping out the page because the perspective, atmosphere and overlaps are doing their job.
I really enjoy the direction you are going in with all these giants though. It is a cool theme, and I like how it is a bit different.
