It's very well done, the shading in the right place for a banner, except for the fact that it has no border. You seem to have done well with this on your last two sprites (tip: the dagger seems a little long in the handle) so maybe you just forgot. I suggest a dark green, taken from this one's color scheme.

Second, all of these have a white background (which can be remedied, depending on what you use; what do you use?) and are very off-center.

When making sprites, be sure to keep in mind what size they're going to be. I'll give you a small list:
 * Blocks: 8x8
 * Early-game weapons: 16x16
 * Early guns: 14x22
 * Accessories: 14x14

All of these are without resizing to fit Terraria. Note that if you guess wrong, GIMP (and probably others) allow you to crop out bits of the canvas. First of all read the very first post and you will see why the background is white. Basically, I don't get a lot of PC time so I can't use gimp (witch I know how to crop and make the background transparent with) as much as just want to so I use a pixel art app on my device.

Second, I didn't want the sprite (get it ;D) to have a dark outline. It's just art, not a terraria sprite.

Third, I already knew most of the dimensions but thank you :)

Fourth, the dagger was something random I made in five minutes to see if scythe could crop it and make it transparent.
