The overall appearance is similar, but I don't think that was what Shinichirou Otsuka (Illustrator of Re: ZERO) nor Nagatsuki was trying to convey, if they were trying to convey anything at all.

Rem and Emilia are extremely kind hearted in nature and Otsuka's work tend to have characters look very similar to one another, the main differentiating point being the eyes, facial expressions and clothes.

Example: If you were to put a noncolored illustration of Crusch and Priscilla in the same clothes and same hair by Otsuka, you'd probably get the same result because of the long hair. The only difference would be Priscilla's larger set of breasts, since they both share very similar confident facial expressions. It's just the art style.
