I just don't get how the artists can sell that and be okay with it. I would feel guilty for making money on someone elses stuff and also be way too paranoid about it being illegal. But then I feel guilty for just about everything I do and have an overly large paranoia of doing things "wrong". So.

yeah it seems like your moral compass is in overdrive. It's a grey area; the fanartists aren't hurting anyone-- not even anyone's bank acct other than the people who buy their products-- so if it doesn't bother the ones who created the characters, who cares?

Most of the time, it's because there's no comparable official item. One of my favorite series has almost no official merchandise, so if I want anything for it, I have to buy fanart. And I'm completely okay with that. I'd happily give the company my money if they made official goods, but since they don't, I have no compunction about giving it to fanartists who will give me what I want.

I agree, I don't know how artists can be okay with breaking the law. Not the making money, because fanart prices are rarely that high. But I'd never sell my own fanart, except perhaps for charity. I once did for charity, and never again, I even bad even doing that. On the other hand, I used to sell my original art all the time, no problem.

But then again, I'd buy fanart. I have bought fanart in the past. I might again. Especially for charity.

I don't know how my brain works sometimes.
