I would tone down the spike they are to dark in my opinion they woulld need to blend a little more
Her left leg seem to be out of proportion it not reading very well for me.I don't know about you after it being point it out do you feel the same?
The anatomy of the beast is strange instead of having the muscle come out of the cylindrical shape it coming from under it which would not be the case if this creature crawl which is serpent like suggest.Very hard to read what going on.I would find it useful to see a concept drawing of the creature to see if i misunderstood the anatomy. But the point being is clarity and anatomy might need more attention. Always try to find a creature from the real world you can use as you base to start from. It should be somewhat easy for the viewer to say oh that look like something i know without them going like oh no what going on here i got no reference point i can't picture how this creature might move. For example here you could have taken creature from the lizard&serpent family as the base.
It might not be that you have big problem with foreshortening or creature anatomy but you might get a level up just pushing those two thing with study instead on focus on bigger piece. As a illustrator you have to balance your illustration with a good deal of study in between or else your fundamental aren't taken care of and they might stagnate and start to be more apparent as you progress. It surprising me that we don't see any thumb nailing in the sketchbook yet which to me is a mistake because to me that just mean you commit to early and you might not be giving yourself the option to see what work and what doesn't.By thumbnail i mean more than the doodle that serve for the final.
