So here's a question.

What do you think about "My Style"? By which I mean the practice of artists who draw existing, often copyrighted characters in "their own style" which involves deviating grossly from the original design?

Chances are most of you have an opinion of this and if so, where do you draw the line? Does humanising animal characters class as "My Style"? What about drawing western characters in an eastern style? Are either of these far removed enough from, say, giving a bald character hair to make it acceptable to you? Does is depend on if an artist is drawing a one-off "What If" version as opposed to using an altered design on a regular basis and perhaps even claiming it as their own to some degree?
