Answer 1

You're on the right track. The capture pattern ([^/]+) matches everything up to the next /, so you'll need two of those.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)\.png$ image.php?style=$1&ign=$2 [L,NC]

Answer 2

Try something like that:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com [NC]
   RewriteRule ^hc\/onlinestatus\/(.*)\/(.*)\.png /hc/onlinestatus/image.php?style=$1&ign=$2 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
