I think you should go with purple or pink :b

I totally get how you feel, though. Whenever I see someone with a similar style to my own I start liking my own art a little less. I won't feel as individual or set apart from the rest and frankly, seeing things very similar to what I once thought was completely unique to me makes me sad and kind of angry that I can't have my own little thing. Lately, I've been trying to not get so bothered by it.
I mean, I think it's a great way to grow as an artist to try drawing in different styles sometimes. Also there's so many artists on this planet, there are bound to be some styles similar to your own. Try not to get discouraged too much and remember your art is still very special!

I too think should pick purple, gives him a more punk feel.

As for what you're currently feeling...honestly, I don't feel that much as I had back then. Before, it made me feel self conscious and thought how my style isn't mine and how it's not unique anymore. But I started to get this kind of thinking that, when others take on a part of your art style, and add it to theirs or try it is that they either like your art style, thinks that it's a better option that what they currently have or looks towards us for inspiration. I mean, I've have a friend here that take up a bit similar to how I used to draw the nose and the neck(which I noticed pretty quickly and they even mentioned it in one of their posts). I even try a part of other people's style and see how it looks It's pretty evident on my work, the style changes a lot...ahahah...my style is a combination of an artist from here and from manga artists that I read all my BL from..

It's all good if it's done out of appreciation and motivation, but not when they outright take credit for it....hopefully, you'll feel better soon

The purple or pink looks best IMO.
And with the style thing...I agree with @-GCI_VIRUS-. Some artists are still trying to find their own style, they want to experiment and learn from their inspirations. Unless they bluntly steal it and try to sell it as their own style, then there's a problem.
