Also, the skin color is too faint, the eyes aren't well defined.
That helmet isn't stuck to his head, so there must be some shading between the helmet and his skin.
Where's the light coming from?
Why the helmet has white borders?
I suggest u to read some tutorials and observe some similar themed icons or pics.

Looks interesting.

I don't know whether it is supposed as I never saw the WCI icon, but his head is not well-proportionated. His top head is too small, but as I said, I don't know whether it is intended by Blizzard or you.

Good job for first icon !

better, now choose a direction where an imaginary light comes from, and shade your icon by that law

I was following the original icon completely, the lighting in the background was like that in the icon. Perhaps in the future I will replace the blue with just solid black but for now, I'll keep it as it is. Thank you for the shading advice though.
 
It'd be nice to see a comparison with the original(wc1) icon.
First of all, the helm lacks a proper metallic texture.
U could take a look at some tuts(http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2...tutorials-281/, Armor tutorial) and helmet pics.
His face lacks shading, fix that.
Lastly, the whole icon needs more definition, try to define its shape better.

Thanks, I'll look into the tutorials.
also, here is the original Icon, I enlarged it so you can actually see it.
