I got bored, so I made a little something for Graal 2002.

Skull Wand. Leet, yo.

Not bad at all, very shamanistic. Pity there are no witchdoctor-ish clothes or heads or headpieces to go with it really.
Also the black outline on the shaft, and possibly the skull, doesn't seem to do it for me.

or this, sorry, i didnt realize you said the shaft too until now

Yeah that looks much nicer! You could also try and anti-alias it, too. I'm no expert on the matter, i've never even tried to AA, but the sudden steps in the shaft look a bit weird x_x

Anti aliasing wouldn't work because it's a sprite.

The skull wand is cool :)

thanks Stefan :]

and I have two new concept graphics, one's almost done. A leather bracer, and a Sutton-Hoo Helmet

the helm is KICK ASS!

Shade stuff by hand :(

Absolutely!

The Skull Wand could also be a sort of requirement if NEcromancy spells would be released. Like, you raise a skeleton from a corpse from a dead player/monster. Perhaps the higher the enemy's level, the stronger/the more skeletons, or different levels of undeads: zombies > skeletons > vampires > liches

It looks like a Mexican wrestler's mask.

But I think it would fit for a VERY fantasy-like character (the very evil bad guy, or the very awesome hero...) but not a simple character (soldier.... merchant... common king...). So I guess that would mean there'd only be like...1 of these helmets in existence on GK.

Just like with the hammers and all other event items...

New shield, its a heraldic-style Lion Shield.
