Mick Jagger discovered Guy Van Peelart paintings where he showed Bowie. he got ahead of the Stones using one for his Diamond Dogs cover.. so you never showed Bowie anything lest he steal it from you.

Mick Ronson was responsible for a lot of Bowie's early sound, Ronson was considered as a replacement for Mick Taylor when he left the RS...Keith opted for his wana be Keith Ronnie Wood.

Bowie's first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. The Ziggy Stardust character came out in 1972 and only lasted a year. He adopted many personas since then as part of being an entertainer. I don't think many rock and roll stars adopted personas prior to Bowie.
Disapproval from Keith Richards means nothing to me. Sorry.
