The problem is not similar to fansub. With fansub,
you publish the whole produce, just adding subtitle.
So obviously, that's illegal.

When you do a fancel, it belong to you. It's your
work and you didn't reused the work of someone
else. Also, you are not reselling a produce that
is owned and sold by someone else.

Now, the holder of the copyright on the character/design
may object to you using it.... And it already happened...

For example, a guy made icons of characters from
some well know cartoon. He drawed the icons himself,
creating totaly new pictures (didn't used an existing
picture that he cleaned and resized. He just drawed
new pictures of similar-looking characters). But
the holder of the copyright on the characters menaced
to sue him if he didn't stop distributing (not even
selling) those pictures...
