soo i wanted to drop these, to give you some ideas about pushing this monster piece. definitely watch the critters streams and learn the general idea of pushing a concept further and making it more interesting. This comes from good drawing and shape design, not rendering

I did essentially the same kinda thing, which is push the shape, you know, if its a horrifying alien, make his silhouette itself horrifying. When i see this character you drew, he has big eyes, a small mouth, tiny body, he's actually kinda cute.
For making a crazy alien, combine two things that dont make sense together, what i went for was like a crocodile and a birdlike thing. Pick some animals like that and draw them from reference, then make your design, it'll be more informed by reality and have a much better design. Also reference is key for the back, find or create the best reference you can so you can see all those muscles, it adds 1000% quality to a piece. again, proper indication, not rendering.
and if his heads in shadow, why? so you can obscure the forms, which is useful for horror. But i can guess exactly what this guy looks like, so if he has a more unusual form, that adds to the horror, and also some secondary light thats dim on the edge of the forms can help a lot ;)
