First of all, I suggest sharpening/thickening the outlines of the hand, if not, changing the glow's color around it. You might also want to go over the wrinkles with a 10%-20% opacity to make them clearer.

Yeah, I've read that.
But for ideas.. Hmm..
Try working with a more "sharp" style, like.. Your effects are quite blurred/smudged, while that might look good, effects that looks more comical tends to fit better in the game, if you get my point.

Read up a bit on vexel/vector art, I think there's some tuts around at deviantArt.

Ok ok ok ok wait a sec....... *shoots himself*

This icon deserves a "FUCKING GOOD!"

Yet Paladon, I'm not artistic but I'm creative... the last time I worked with Graphic Design was 2 years ago so I forgot all but I'll try to give you my idea...

Umm, around the hand, make it blackish... I mean at the linings of the hand (see attachment, tried my best :p)

Ok, and oh one more thing... filter some stuff around with photoshop, trying going for Glowing Edges for the yellow background, and do some coloring and contrasting, and you'd get a nice color...

Add more contrast to the hand (you'd also have to fuck around with the brightness then :p)

Umm... that's all I've got in mind now...

@Anachron: i dont rly agree with u but w/e, this is why:
1) it doesn't look that bad, tho i guess all have their own opinions ><
2) half the blizzard icons dont make any english or rly fit there own theme or look any good so using them as a comparison is a bit of a fail.
3) Crazyrussians icon is kinda completely different
