I see what you mean but i´m too tired of this character to do it.

I mean, I get you, making tweaks kinda really sucks especially if you want to move on to another character. I submit art for the community project and get unnecessary tweak comments all the time. However, when one actually *is* necessary and is done...then it makes a huge difference. The quality of your work will improve by tweaking it. It's up to you in the end, no pressure lol. If you're too tired to work on it again, then simply don't fix it. You're in control of your work here.
It still looks very linear. The color change is too big. It's impossible to notice that the head balls have shading.
Yes, yes, I forgot to say that in comparison with the old one, the new one is a big change. However, my point is that on the balls, whe have a dark violet, and then directly a light pink. What I would say is to fix that having another color.

It's noticeable enough.
Your sprites are lacking anti-aliasing and that little bit extra to atleast fit in decently with tMC sprites, gradient shading probably isn't the best way to shade the tentacles, but that's not my decision.
Yes, but the shading doesn't work the same way here. In your pic, Link has some shades on his cap because of the shadow, but you don't render those in pixelart, and he doesn't in the Link sprite you presented on your sheet. As for the tentacles, if you can make it look good with gradient then I guess it works. But don't be afraid to try other techniques too.
