How do you wear the darned helmet?
The grappling hook looks like you'l have to throw it 100 miles per hour to get a good grip

but yea the hook is good.

the idea is to hit the person with the sharp things, not accually hook something. you put the helmet on your head......
perhaps the textures are a bit dark on the helm

that stuff is great!!!!! you could use the grappling hook to get across a river or someting, like if theres a tree on the other side you grapple to it and jump over the river!!!

what i want to see is:

a simply box.
plain. no texture. just a cube.
and then a sphere with narrow highlights.

to your graphics: the helmet is a nice idea, but too dark and i fear in the wrong perspective.
the hook doesn't look nice and is in a very wrong perspective and doesn't look like metal and...

Just to add :

The background color you used is not R255 G0 B255. Should be.

And of course, you should render it on a dark background, with oversampling. Then you must replace the whole background color with exactly r255 g0 b255 (pink). And then, you must change every border pixel of the object to fit the object colors without making it look pixel-alike. Then, you must "cut it out", meaning that it must fit its "box" shape perfectly.

And, make it in a size that can be used. Those are too big ! Best is : Compare it with existing illarion items. Do yours in the same perspective !!!

He means that the background color of your image isn't correct. He also means that the image blends slightly with the background, which shouldn't happen. By 'box shape' I think Damien means that the image must be as small as possible, as in no space between the image and the border. Take a look at the graphic FAQ for more information.
