It's a sticky gray area since the work is their own. They do all of the work, after all. It's only the characters that are not theirs, and it makes it a gray area for most people. I guarantee you, a lot of fanart would disappear or stop happening in, it certainly wouldn't be in the same volume that exists, without paid commissions because so many use it to supplement their income and... They wouldn't have time otherwise.

And it gets even more complicated when you're dealing with e.g. book fandom where a character doesn't actually have a set visual representation, but is still someone'e else's copyrighted character. It'd be feasible to claim said image was only loosely based on the canon character.

The written word is different because the vast, vast majority of characters exist in that form in some copyrightable way, be it as prose, manga, script etc. thus the "challenge" to the original is more direct.
