Joe's Graphics Thread

I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and make one of these also. I wouldn't mind critique, I made these for a contest at school, and some for leisure fun. Anyways, have fun critiquing me. :P

They're all very good.
Very nice work Joe!

Maybe you should take place in the GOTM competition?

GOTM?

Also, I have a question, under everyone's names, it says "TR : $#"
Might I ask, what is that?

TR is the forum currency.
Graphics of the month competition. It is here in the graphics section.
