How I present online vs. how I present offline

I'm a long shot from where I want to be as an artist, but my eyes work well enough to see the strides I've made and the skills I've gained -- and they *all* come from studying others. I study brush strokes, line weights, color work, values in pieces I'm wowed by.
I have a number of styles I use because they're all actually parts of me. They reflect how I'm feeling, what I'm enjoying, what makes me happy in that moment.
What might inspiration look like? Well, here's one of several pieces I've done inspired by a specific color palette.
When I do work like this, if my inspiration was generated by someone else I specifically say so and cite that inspiration.
The brown/gray/muted lines in Pusheen art aren't unique to the brand, either. Its fairly common in pastel and "kawaii" themes. Little Twin Stars match Pusheen themes quite a bit.
Ok two bits on the Art Style discourse because I haven't exactly been clear yet on my stance.
There's a difference between lifting someone's style, being inspired, or coincidentally having a similar style.
Let's look at Pusheen and Hello Kitty for example.
