enjoy: As it was already stated in the thread below, the thumb is positioned on the wrong side of the hand. Please fix this, since it's a major anatomy error.
Also, I would like you to try to improve the "explosion" from the arm where the fist is attached.
I don't know if this will be any help to you, but here is a tutorial

enjoy: Might be useful. Also, I like it.

Looks good but I think you should give more details on the line for the fist because in smaller icon, the lines cannot be seen and just looks like an ordinary rock instead of fist.

But good job 3/5 and +3 REP!

This is definitely your best icon so far (I know you only have one approved icon before this, but still)

This is great. I really mean it; this looks good and can be very useful for making various abilities for the golem (Including the possibility of an ability that summons one)!

I'm giving this a 3/5. I just don't like the way you have the thumb bending beneath the fingertips. Turn your palm towards you and make a fist. Try to put your thumb going straight beneath your fingertips. It will feel completely unnatural; nobody makes a fist that way. The thumb should either stick out to the side (which is a good way to break your thumb but a lot of people do it anyway), be tucked inside the fingers (another good way to injure your thumb), or cross over your middle finger and ring finger (the usual way of making a fist).

Would be useful for a stun for the golems in which they have a kickass icon than the one they have.

Thanks for your comments.

@TLI-Inferno, I was expecting such comment regarding the thumb and/or the direction of the fist. However, I'll explain why I did it this way. I was using this picture as a reference:

Hidden

Observe the elemental in the middle.

Now, his left hand has the thumb inside the fist and is directed at ~120°. To me though, the thumb position in his right fist looks better, so that's why I applied it to the icon.

So, yeah. I'll add some more details in a sec, but I feel comfortable with the thumb position and fist direction. :/

EDIT: I made the thumb smaller and added a bit of details. Tell me your opinion to the changes. If you like them, I'll update.

You should add more details to it; I'm not sure what but it's lacking something.

How about you add some explosive effect to the background to really bring out the fist?

 

[SpasMaster]

Pick one

 

[MasterTrainer]

Pick one

I thinking you should go with this. Just enlarge the spikes in the background.

 

[SpasMaster]

There we go.

None of those images have the thumb going the way you have it. In the second one, on his left hand (right side) (your icon uses right hand, left side), his thumb is wrapping over the first finger, NOT bent awkwardly below the fingertips across the palm. In the third picture, you're seeing the hand from the top view, not from the front, and the thumb is still not doing what yours is doing.

Thumbs don't work the way you have it in your icon. You have to change its direction, not the size.

Ok, now my icon is left hand. But I am using the thumb that is shown on the pic on the elemental's right hand.

And I am pretty sure thumbs do work that way.

They don't. Make a fist, and try putting your thumb across past your fingertips. It will feel very awkward because the thumb isn't meant to bend sideways that sharply. Comfortably it would have to go over the fingers. Even in your new icon, the thumb still isn't going over any fingers; it's still bent sharply to the side. All you did was make it smaller.

Cool badass icon. xP

I don't want to get punch'd by this! XD
Btw, looks neato.
