UPDATE
Spoiler:
here is :P , I redesigned it this afternoon, but it was worth it hehe. I followed the advice of Vespirs and is now more identical to the original design. I think it needs some correction to the brightness of the gem, but the major changes are made ;)

First thing I notice is that the star is way to simple, and perfect.
Yes, perfect. Staryu isn't exact symmetrical, therefore, you need to change the shape of the star, because it doesn't look like staryu.
Secondly, the star isn't thick enough, it needs to be fatter, it looks far too thin.
Next, the texture colours are off. The brown needs to be browner, the gold needs to be more darker, and the red in the gem needs to be lighter, plus have a reflective effect on it, as it is a gem-like thing, and is not all one straight colour.
Then, you're missing some yellow bands that go in-between the points on the star.
There is also a band that wraps around it's back left leg.
In the middle of staryu, it is a circle, not just points coming off of the gem. Fix that.
The gem is far too big, and the yellow part is far too small. The gem also comes off of the star too much.

Yeah, so fix all of that, and then update it. Then, we'll see from there.

Didn't want to assume and I feel like I heard it from SPG or something)

I am.

But Vespirs and sludgy kinda said it all, but you "have problems with the gold thing on its back"? Was that before Vespirs came by? Otherwise it means you already noticed it, that's good.
About the gem, make it smaller, and the yellow thing holding it bigger. Then the yellow should be like a half sphere, except the yellow lines as they go straight. (Look at Vespirs's pictures, they explain it well.) The reflection would be nitpicking, but an awsome addition to your model.
For the colors, I guess you took the brown from the artwork, right? Maybe not, but if you did, it should be good, the lighter part could be Blender's lighting, and would suck. But since I never used it, I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll leave this to others, more experienced with the program.
So yeah, it was all already said, my bad.
Good luck.
