Halloa.
I'd caution you about having shape language that is too consistent. You have a lot of very bulbous shapes, and generally a pretty plain silhouette (though you've done a great job breaking it up with the antler-like growths in the front)
Try out different shape language ideas! Perhaps the front area of the caterpillar is MASSIVE compared the the rear, in the style of Lavos or the main villain of Demon's souls. Or maybe it's that his legs taper off in such a way, that they are placed in odd positions along the body. Or maybe it's just that the growths are very spiky, like the mandibles, while the body stays round.
I don't know how long you spent on these thumbs, but I'd honestly try to spend a littlbe bit longer thinking about design, and maybe not considering the lighting until you have the characteristics more planned out.
Cheers!
