I don't know what the first one is supposed to be but it looks cool. The second one would be a lot better if it had an established flow rather than just a triangular wave effect going on. Also, if there was lighting it would look a bit better. Ease a little with the sharpening/topaz.
It needs a lot more colors, and I honestly think you left a lot out, I like it but then again it could be a lot better. You should try and put some dark colors in there and smudge it up a little bit, then again it is your style, just go one step at a time. Your smudging could be better, when you smudge you want it to be nice streaks trying to go in one direction instead of going everywhere in your piece. Try and straighten it out a little and get things the right way for a nice smudge.
Other then that good job!
