Things to recap :
1) When having a design language, make sure to repeat its motif or rules so it makes a cohesive design. Re: Having a curvy/curved element, make sure you see that curve repeated
2) Polishing notes:
Adding bevels and highlights tend to draw add a finishing touch.
More clarity helps with a "polished" look-- resolving material textures, shapes/forms (basically sharpening or having hard edges)
3) When designing mechs:
Superficial level of believability is in the joints : Showing/exposing some area where it rotates adds to its mechanical realism. Additional things to help with that is referencing mechanical systems, electrical systems/mechatronics, engineering and hydraulics. Mechanical things are all around us, so it's actually a familiar sight (how many times have you seen a crane on the side of the road?)
