I wouldn't be surprised if Namayakeinu took inspiration from Noya. However, some artists are obscenely possessive of their unique art styles (can you copyright art styles?)

Yes and no. It'd be hard to sue over the way you draw a person, and even harder to actually call it infringement. But your likeness or your calling card is your work and your copyright. So it's a gray area. Clear as crystal if your copyright laws have fair use conditions.
