Artists taking on styles inspired by others

Posted under Tags

But is it in some way intentional (like an homage, inspiration or something else)?
Maybe their styles are simply similar by coincidence. And to be honest, their artstyle is not unique or recognizable enough to tell just by looking that it's a style parody imo.

By that you mean Mochizuki Kei or Nekoma Hikaru? There are some of Nekoma's arts that are less obvious, post #4739844, post #5597057, pixiv #89041471 etc gave more confirmation. Something about the that unusual weird mild ligne claire flat coloring and lineart really gave the impression, and sometimes the eyes too. But as I said they seems to studied Mochizuki's style and then transformed it into their own, so the similarities aren't always giveaways. I started noticing more details after having the doubts. Kinda like a Yoneyama Mai and Rolua situation, but even more intentional imo. That's why I wasn't sure about tagging all their posts.
