I sketched out more stuff for character and environment however I still don't really like much of what I've done. The only thing I can really do is keep designing until I have that lightbulb moment!
Perhaps you could try looking at different types of aliens, for example Marvin the Martian, he's quite simple yet you understand he's from outer space. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120617205751/villains/images/e/ee/Marvin_the_Martian.jpg
Or maybe you could look at something abstract and form some designs from that!
I don't think your alien is looking very appealing and charismatic, Kayliegh (though 4 is looking more approachable than the sinister previous 3!) Think in terms of simpler shapes; maybe think too that your alien is rather more 'Elmer Fudd' than 'alien abduction' styleee:
Think 'cartoon'! Simple shapes, flat colour, lots of squash and stretch! Consider using the symmetry tool in Sketchbook pro for simplicity, or the simple shape-based tools in Photoshop - consider too working in silhouette first; I think your fisherman is a comedic character, and if you recall what Justin said about comedic shapes etc...
