i don't think you need approval from them.
I saw alot of people selling fan artworks from pokemon, sailor moon, Sao, naruto.. etc..etc..etc...
however if you plan to sell them on AA, your going to need to bring your friend with you.
I don't know if artist alley can allow agents to sell other peoples works for them if they are not present.
@Yuuki: Proxy selling, which is sending someone in your place to sell your art, is not allowed. However, selling collaborative works, such as anthologies, that contain input from many people is allowed even if all the creators aren't there (assuming you, the seller, also contributed). So in the hypothetical situation that your friend wasn't coming along, you could still sell things that you worked together on because you did part of the work.
Fanime doesn't require you to get a license for your fanart (licensed material belongs in the dealers hall), but please note that unlicensed fanart is a legal gray area at best. Therefore there's some stuff that you should not do (Disney fanart prints, for example, because Disney is rabid about copyright protection). Also you can't do the following: use official logos, use any other official images (screencapping Naruto's face from the anime and putting it on a button, for example), or trace any official images. Also note that fanime AA staff recommends that fanart clearly be in your own art style. They do portfolio reviews as part of the table approval process to enforce this.
