There was a Kickstarter recently for a deck of pregenerated characters with original artwork on each card. You could try finding that Kickstarter and seeing how successful it was.
I'm not sure that's true. I think if you want to create and share a GURPS character using GURPS rules, that seems pretty straightforward, as long as you are not including any copyrighted art and not using the actual text from the books.Patreon can be a good place to sell your stuff. But you are restricted to OGL stuff.
True, but the OP has already implied they are working with D&D 5E characters. So I continued the implied assumption. Let's suffice it to say that with Patreon you have no special access or license to anyone else's Intellectual Property. On the DMsG you do.I'm not sure that's true.

I generally don't draw a distinction between PCs and NPCs. I build the latter as if they were the former, and don't treat the former as if they're more special than the latter.
The mechanics require actual work, number-crunching and cross-referencing and so forth; background and story is literally just making stuff up (or stealing from your favorite TV shows). I'm not trying to put anyone down, but are there really people who find it impossible to imagine a basic character backstory? You sit down to play a Paladin, you pick out your Paladin oath based on its mechanical effects which interest you - do you not then IMMEDIATELY think "my guy has the Oath of Vengeance because orcs wiped out his village" or some such?
