+MouseWhoLoves Thanks! Please consider sharing to help me out.

yep great again.
Sorry for the delay but I was out of town!
My 2 cents again:
1) consider to show a more complex HUD with more info, like armour strenght/bonus or class (barbarian,
clerical, archer, thief, jester...)
2) add also a female character

What if my character is actually animated? How do I make the armor and shield follow the animation?

[@XorDev]

Hard to say. Animating the armor is the simplest way, but is inefficient for lots of armor. You could create an array for the x and y coordinates for each frame and draw the sprites with the shifted coordinates matching the character frame. Example Create event:
ArmorX[0] = 0; ArmorX[1] = 2; ArmorX[2] = 0; ArmorX[3] = -2;
ArmorY[0] = 0; ArmorY[1] = -1; ArmorY[2] = 0; ArmorY[3] = -1;
Example Draw event:
draw_sprite(spr_armor,x+ArmorX[image_index],y+ArmorY[image_index]);
