she seems really bland and uninspired.

This beautifully displays what potential the body design had. As you said, remove the pectorals and apply a normal xeno paint app and it would have looked infinitely better. The minute they added all the fleshy areas and tones it completely ruined it. Then the slapped that ridiculous head onto the ruined turd.
I mostly agree.
To be honest, the head was half spot-on, half what-the-f**k is going on.
For example, I really liked how the mandible tendons were transparent, and there were some super-sweet details on the mandibles themselves.
This way it looked really good, I would've preferred it if they made them closer to the actual jaws, but they're alright. I liked the concept of giving it a dome with a Predator skull visible underneath, but there are two things I'm not convinced about: the AvP Aliens don't have the skull underneath, and the Predalien supposedly is an AvP Alien, but I'll let that go. Second thing, more important, is that the head is fundamentally 1/4-dome, 3/4 standard head. It doesn't make a lick of sense, as the dome should've spanned over the majority of the head. I don't agree with the concept of 'elongating' a creature skull to obtain the resulting Alien skull either. I always found, though, that it was a really smart move to use the dogburster tail moulds to create the dreadlocks of the creature, but how they were attached was ludicrous, and didn't help to the Predalien's menace.
