This is just my opinion...

While it is totally within the artist's rights to sell prints of commissions (as explained by a lot of people before this comment), I personally feel that it's not a good practice to do so in small fandoms (like furry, etc.)

Not only does it cause unnecessary drama with those customers who don't understand copyright, I honestly don't believe there is that big of a market to purchase prints of other people's OCs. Most people want custom art of their own characters, not pictures of other people's creations. If the art is generic enough (basic red fox, typical western dragon), then I could see a demand, but very few people want pictures of hybrid wolfhippoferrets with bizarre color schemes.
