You're talking iconography vs. STYLE. Each of those characters can be done in a different manner and included in someone's art without being considered a rip-off. But to say that you did a painting in a 'Shag style' sounds close to plagarism. Instead, say I did this painting in a 60's Mod style which is what Shag is doing; he'll admit he's not the first to paint that way...
