I love the idea, and the execution is good, but. The glow is too consistent and thick, if you're going for a sharp contrast color like that on a single-colored object, you'd want to make it transparent and closer to the color circle of object that is glowing. Other than that, there's a big lack of shading in here, causing the effect of Hawk looking plastic with all those highlights and nothing to counter them (bright pink color doesn't help at all in here - it's incredibly hard to apply a light source on bright colors without a ton of shadows, and not make it look plastic). In the end, as Chaosy mentioned, a purplish color instead of pink would make the icon less dramatic, and a little less monotone for the eye. It's neat, but I'd love to see more work overall :)
