So after fumbling around with different ideas, I came up with this monstrosity:
[img]http://s12.postimg.org/qefgqzwh9/Kaiju_Inspired.png[/img]
It's flat and the spikes are distracting, I know... I'm looking for ways to improve it. It's meant to reflect on the Kaiju's appearance underwater, hence the blue tint.
All constructive criticism is welcome and wanted!
EDIT: Updated skin:

You could try to draw the underwater ripples o the skin, to give more depth to the skin and to let it appear actually under water.

Takora I didn't even think of that! I'll try that later today, thank you!

The reflections look awesome, but I liked the original colors better. Also, one of the refractions on his wing-arm has a line between the top and bottom arm which makes it look funny. A bend in the top arm part would break it up and look more natural :)
Why not give the tummy lines a little glow?
You can add a lot of extra depth with hints of highlights and shadows of your own.
I like shiny things :B
Hope that's helpful n_n

The bright blue mouth and teeth are a little distracting, I haven't seen Pacific Rim, so if they're supposed to have bright blue teeth, I wouldn't know.
Also, the belly looks a little unfinished, kinda like you just swiped it with a brush, maybe a little bluring to blend it in a little? It just lacks depth compared to the rest of it.

Bright blue mouths are what we aim for. ;D

Yeah, I attempted a Gausian Blur on the belly lights, and it wouldn't cooperate. So the belly is temporary until I can figure out what went wrong with the blur.

Maybe add some of that speckling effect on the belly? That way you won't loose the luminescence with a blur/blend
*edit*
Also, add a little of the blue to "glow" around his mouth, not just coloring the mouth solid
