hahaha, I can see the 1st code being cracked easily... I forgot to do something extra for it. 😭 haha oh well, good luck though! 👍
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
I don't get the first code, but I find it easier for the 2nd code.

Exactly, & nice try haha.
I gave it my all for the second one lol so tricky converted into numbers couldn't see a pattern lol :( Tried difference of numbers. You used the same letters for O and A in example that got me stuck haha

haha yea, There's a couple of things to be noticed from the example though. 🤫
Good luck!👍
I'm confused what the answer is supposed to be, but this is what I got from the first code.
Slash
Mountains
Pencil shavings
Starbucks
House
Logs
House
Starry night
Mountains
😧
Input is the divide sign :) the one with the 2 dots and the horizontal line inbetween
Seriously I feel dumb af right now D:

I have no clue what how to decipher your second code, here's something I wrote out for anybody that wants to give it a go.
Although I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction, this is my first time trying to decipher anything.

You're kinda in the right direction, you just need to find the right words & symbol and the other aspect to the pictures.🤫😝

Once they're cracked, I'll post how they work and you'll realize they weren't that complicated. 😉

Love the effort! 🤗
Although, you should really compare the example to the code.🤫👍
