Like explained beforehand, how much the character looks to a main character is irrelevant. If the drawing was made from scratch or a base was used with permission, you are not stealing any art and is therefore not tracing or recoloring. Like explained beforehand, the whole purpose of this proposal is not to force people to create better designs but to reprimand those who steal art. I hope this clears the misunderstandings. Considering that said original is made public, I can't see why using it as a base would demand "permission" from the original artist. Sega isn't going to reply to anyone who asks to use it. I'm guessing that's why the first proposed rule is not to use official work in the first place?
