Looking through someone's history for 5 seconds usually gives you the answer, which is why I don't get why so many people do it. It is perfectly fine if you want to see someone else's character drawn in a different person's style, which is no different than requesting fanart of a cannon character in my mind. Just don't say the character is yours and be honest about what you want, and it'll probably go over better. The worst that can be said in that situation is "No", but if you're stealing the character than you risk a whole "you're an art thief" debacle, in which case everything you claim to make is now under doubt. ^^^^^

This. So much. I could forgive it if they just want to see someone's character in my style (and in which case I'll normally check with the creator beforehand to make sure it's okay, in the rare case they're someone who dislikes fanart), but where i draw the line is when they go out of their way to call it "their oc". I can forgive it if they forget to mention it and I'll always give them a chance to make themselves clear before straight up saying no.
