Making Amanita, the mushroomy enemy of SMRPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, in M&L3 style.
This is custom.
Here's what I've got so far:

What do you think I should improve? Comments?

a little more separation in the shades of red, make you darkest shade of red a little less like the black outline.
that should look a little better

It has 17 colors (with the BG color), and a sprite like that should have less than 16,

And I agree with LinkOfAwesome, the shades should be darker, so the shades are visible.

you're saying this for the monster or the fake shroom?

Well, the Monster, but the Fake Shroom could have some darker shades too,

Something I see is that you made some red outlines for the Fake Shroom, but the Monster is a Black Outline,

Wouldn't it be odd in the animation?

@shades: got it.
@outline: i made that for the enemy to really "fake" with the background, because if it is aoutlined black from the rest, it would be easy to notice.
