Nice, they look great. I like the theme on the Briscoes one that you went with.

Edit: My opinion in GFX is pretty limited. The next posts look like they have it together.

I opened the images in new tabs and I can see them.

The Briscoes
I like the Briscoes text, but not too keen on the cuts. It looks like nothing's been done with them apart from a blending options stroke around them (which I'm not a fan of) and possibly a small bit of blue color balance. Try using the burn and dodge tools, maybe the brightness and contrast tools too. I can see why you picked the background that you did, did you put the eroded brush on yourself, or was it already there? I don't think you should be doing small banners like these, I'd try making stuff between 480-500x260-300 for banners, and maybe make an effort to make large banners or even posters too.

Vandal
First and foremost, I think if you're going to put your name in the corner, it should be more presentable. Doesn't look very neat just stuck there. Maybe try a different font or something. I don't mind the text, this is an instance when the stroke tool looks nice, I think you could have done something with the brick wall background though and the lack of border does no favors either. I think for the brick wall you could completely deplete it of saturation, and maybe use the burn tool on it in certain parts to make it darker. It would look better instead of looking like a standard wall image you pasted on there, and it would make the text stand out.

I don't mean to be harsh, so sorry if I come off that way, just giving out some advice. :D

I think I prefer the first one, but as a general rule you should always add your border last. I just doesn't look good when your render or text leaks over the border like that.

I prefer the first one because it all just flows together more, whereas the second is more akward because it seems like the text and logo is simply pasted on top of the background with no blending. The first one works because there is a consistent colour scheme and the text/renders/background just seem like one, but I have to recommend that you should almost never add a border or outline around your renders unless you're deliberately going for some kind of cartoon look.

Anyway good job overall, you're showing improvement.
