I don't see the point in crediting Amanda if she didn't draw it. I looked at OP's other works and I can spot some differences, enough to see that they're just inspired. I'm not in the illustration world but I've read a lot of children's books and this style isn't that unique, all things considered. Amanda just happens to have a large following. And we have no idea if OP was drawing like this before discovering Amanda or before Amanda gained popularity.

Oh it is! Alamo plays new movies but it also does showings of old stuff all the time. Like a couple months ago I got to see the old Friday 13th in 3D. It was incredible. And the best part about the theater is, for most showings, there's a no talking policy. (I promise I'm not a shill for Alamo Drafthouse lol!) Yeah, but I haven't watched the new season of Twin Peaks yet, so after this I'm gonna give it a go. Have you watched The Return yet?

Sure but this is nearly an exact trace of a face she drew. I'm in the illustration world and have not seen this hyper specific style. The broad style of exaggerated forms and line and marker sure. But this is specifically Amanda's style down to the square format and exact face. There's nothing wrong with being inspired and paying homage, but you should credit the artist you're mimicking.
