Welcome! And nice drawing! I like your drawing style. Looks like you did some research on how squids really look here. I like the realistic look to them. The image is kind of comical despite the violent action going on (slaughtering of squid). Contradicting that action is the calming, light green background color. I'm not sure if squid blood is green or blue, but maybe consider darkening the green to get rid of that calm, spring-breeze feel (especially because those white stuff look like clouds). Or change the color to something else.
The color of the squids are very close to his skin, so they're blending in a lot. I'm having trouble finding a different hue that stands out from his skin and shirt, but at the same time won't get too close to the green background. Maybe colder yellow, or blue... or change the bg.
Did you also try having the background frame extend fully out on both sides? The spaces on either side are also unequal, is there a reason?
