You flip flop around on your position as much as Mitt Romney, it's not even funny. If you're going to make an argument, at least be consistent, and pay attention to what your opponent is saying before you formulate a retort, otherwise people might think you're deflecting purposefully.
An artists "Thumbprint" (Seeing as you apparently see the word 'style' as too much a beach umbrella to be used.) is an equal combination of mistakes, and achievements. It can be a mistake as simple as an overused shape when drawing a foot, or an action of purpose, such as stretching the torso to exaggerate lankiness. Either way, both are artifacts of their history as an artist, their likes, dislikes, insecurities and what not. it;s a natural human progression documented on a worthless page.
Whether you've been drawing for 5, or 50 years, they're there. People try to siphon reasoning out of a drawing, but in order to know the true reason behind why so-and-so prefers to purposefully change this-and-that, and whether or not it's a mistake or purposeful action, they'd need to first experience what the artist has experienced. In short, drawing, sculpting, painting exc. progress in a documentable way strikingly similar to a human personality.
Syrsa is very sharply against the concept of copying the work of others, and from what I've seen in his image files, which contain nearly every digital drawing he's ever done in order by date, he only started out with the bare bones of digital art, and every development and artifact that's been added since then can be seen sliding into existence as you go down the line, a sign of self progression, instead of study of other's work. In fact, in my time knowing him, the only references he's ever used are human anatomy charts (rarely), and his own hands, otherwise, nothing else.
If he's built up everything he has from the basics of digital painting, and the occasional diagram of human muscles, instead of staring at the work of other artists all day, I think it's earned the title of 'style', but whether or not you want to compartmentalize that useless nonsense into terms is up to you.
