background blends in some places with the helmet. Overal it looks tad blurry. Shading is missing on helmet's "skeleton". I sugest to change the background color to something more blue, because it blends with skeleton of the helmet (same color) and makes the icon a bit monotone. If you still want to keep BG clor, than define the helmet.

Like NFWar said, a little more sharpness to the helmet's structure will do it for me. That would be awesome and really polish this icon.

Ok, I'll work on it a bit more
Edit: updated. I think I should stick to 256x256, I figured out that it fits me the best. This was made 128x128 and it came out blurry :<

Yeah, it's kinda blurry and is it just me, or would it look better if there was some kind of glow / light in the eyes? > Good icon btw

The entire image lacks sharpness and contrast. Maybe try to add in details by hand, and mess around with the color settings a bit. I would up the saturation a tiny bit, add some contrast, and maybe a little brightness too. Just using the sharpen tool/filter isn't going to do the trick, really.
Also, there's too much blue in the background. Look at the other icons in WC3, there's another one that looks similar to this (I think it's crown of kings +5) that's a helmet with a blue glow. The glow in those is just around the edge of the helmet, and it fades out; yours just looks like a cloud.
If I had to rate it now, I'd give it a 3. It could definitely be much better with some work, though. I like the shape of the helmet itself.
