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.
