I don't think copying other people's style of artwork is considered creative work, otherwise art forgers would be able to actually make a living doing art, since some of them are really phenomenal.



Arguments like this always make me think of Everything is a Remix [0] or how allegedly the most sincerest form of flattery is imitation.

That's a quote coming from someone who stole repeatedly, so of course they said that.

Alfred Tennyson had this to say: "That great poets imitate and improve, whereas small ones steal and spoil."
