You don't have to look backwards very far to a time when artists Simpsons-fied or Ghibli-fied avatars of others or themselves, and they certainly ask no permission, at all, ever. > Compare with Studio Ponoc, composed of ex-Ghibli employees who also took the same unmistakable Ghibli art style with them for their first feature film. They talked with Miyazaki and got his blessing[1]. Yeah it's a different ballgame when you're a peer in the animation industry.
