I don't mind when people sell their own fanwork, but copyright law is also a little complex when it comes to fanworks, if it is different enough from the source material you can pretty much claim it as your own.

And as an artist I can tell you it is REALLY HARD to get people to buy anything that isn't fanwork, people just don't do it.

So yeah I sell my fanwork, but I wouldn't say I "profit" because I sell it for extremely cheap, but I use that fanwork as an investment to get attention so people will commission me for original work.

A lot of artists do the same, fanwork is a great way to establish a following that eventually leads to real jobs.

exactly. japan has a whole culture based around selling fan comics, in fact a lot of professional manga artists got their start drawing fan comics and then were solicited by magazine publishers to do their own original works. most professional artists and companies over there see it as free publicity.
