Erm, focus more on the actual unit. It looks more like an ability icon at the moment (evade), because you show too much of the body.
Also, don't try to completely recreate the original unit, unit icons that aim towards that don't look good. Add your own personal style and something special to it.
Example: the ingame icon of Shades don't depict the original model, but an abstract version + fitting gesture, focused on the upper body/face.

First attempt was an unit's portrait, and it was not so good as I tried to do, so I will left this as it is. I am not so professional in lightning units to remake them. And yes, I have chosen that as ability resource too. Thanks for feedback.

--- No double post ^^

I have updated icon, if you want previous version, get this archive

Yes there are alot of blank spaces, fill in with little bits of sparks coming off the creature, also the spark on the top left looks kinda weird just floating there, do something with that.
Lastly, focus on the elementals eyes , i cant really see them and it throws the whole concept away if the eyes are not really there.
