i would heavily suggest playing the game to make this, or at least get a better quality reference.
your shading poorly convey volume ( compare the right claw of your sprite then that of the reference, see how you shade it almost centrally, and in bands?), and i don't think you wholly understand the detail of the reference (inconsistencies on the supporting claws, the top claws, on the blue crystal formations emitting light...)
this has potential, but you'll have to improve a lot on shading and getting some good animations in (and actually looking at the reference more closely)!
