I'm a fan artist who got hired by the people I was a fan of and now I make official art for it.
i do feel sorta bad sometimes, like i'm not the best fan artist, there were a lot more capable than me more talented. but i got in and they didn't.

in my opinion OP, its a couple things. first luck. it's annoying but its a random universe, sometimes the right thing just happens at the right time, its not your fault or their merit, they just plain got lucky.

second, persistence, i tried for years and years to get an art job and nothing happened, i just didn't give up and kept going, creating and sharing my work.

last, just make the best stuff you can, never stop trying, and keep putting it out there. always challenge yourself and try to grow.

not exactly applicable to fanfic but its sorta what worked for me.
