I finished the book a bit ago and the court scene reminded me of this bit

from Parks and Rec.

Eva Stratt is such an amazing character who has amazing depth. But I also like drawing goofy memes, so I have to draw this because this is basically what she did during that chapter.

Obviously her appearance is based off the movie!

Google Lens did not help

I've attempted Google Lens and Saucenao to no avail.
Just a lot of pinterest and one weebly page that's certainly not the source. No obvious signature or watermark to be seen.

Halmarut by me

I prepped this Halmarut art for a animation meme, but it took a bit of time so I polished it up a little to turn into a proper illustration.
I really loved the weird neon green morphos she had in that one cutscene and I actually want to revisit and do another piece of her in the future with a little more thought put into the composition.
Please don't repost on insta/xitter without tagging my accounts on those sites

Is my Instagram too dead to grow?

I've seen a lot of posts on twt/x recently about how instagram is the best way for digital artists to grow a following.

I will first admit that I'm not the best about staying consistent and posting. I have lull of no art to post and then period of time where I have a bunch of content. I also have to juggle commissions which aren't optimal to post because I don't like how the look on my feed and that mean the content I am making cannot be used on my socials. Add to the fact that I really disliked how, early on, I had to use my phone to post on instagram rather than on desktop made it so that I avoided it entirely.

Now to my main concern I've had my Instagram for over 7 years, and I'm looking to branch out my social media presence and try to gain a follow to promote my art and commissions. However I'm worried that I can't grow anymore because insta has labelled my account dead or whatever and will refuse to promote it. When I do post I get a like or two from friends, and that's it, with only 1-2 views outside my followers (friends).

I really don't want to make a new account because all my handles on other sites (twt/bsky/etc) are the same and making a new instagram account will mean I need to use a handle that different from my own.

ANY tips insights and advice on this matter would be lovely. I really hate posting on social media and abhor the fact that I need to battle all this to make a living from my work.
