Our Copyright experts would have to give their word on this but as I understand it, fan art does infringe copyright/trademark but it's up to the companies involved to decide whether or not it's in their interest to defend their legal rights.
The short version is, if you create something, you have the absolute right to say how, where and when it can be used by others, if at all. And yes, a restriction such as "I don't allow this model to be used with a stone texture" is enforcable in law. It may sound stupid and frivolous but nevertheless, it still applies.
