This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop.
Ever since the Internet allowed people to share their content, it's a major source for artists and writers to flex their skills. Likewise, these artists/writers are fans of various media, so put them together and you get Fan Art and fanfics. Naturally, any given media will likely have fan works of it.
When you have new media that is about to premiere and a character shows up with a very awesome design, or existing media introduces a new character to the series, people are gonna be intrigued about who these characters are. For the fan work creator, that itch to just draw or write about them right then and there can't be ignored, regardless of their story importance. This shows that folks are excited and gets the ball rolling to help prepare for the eventual release.
Compare Fanwork-Only Fans, where fan works are produced by members of a fandom who have minimal, if any, familiarity with the source material; Memetic Mutation, when a meme can take off and likewise can lead to fan art; and Ensemble Dark Horse, for when fans really like a certain minor character. See also Rule 34, which is the same concept but just slightly more lewd and NSFW, and Best Known for the Fanservice, which is sometimes the underlying culprit for this kind of interest in particular characters.
Again, this is for when a work is about to be released, not afterward.

Genshin Impact: A pretty common occurrence, as playable characters and NPCs that will become playable tend to get their info leaked to the internet, so before they've been released or even before their official announcements by miHoYo have concluded, these characters are already subject to tons of fan art (Rule 34 included), fan videos and even cosplays. This was seen as early as the beta period before the game released in September 2020, which featured characters who wouldn't become playable for months like Xiao and Ayaka.

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW):
Both Tangle and Whisper started getting fan art fairly early after their designs were showcased, before they eventually joined the comic proper.
Belle, a character who debuted in the "Chao Races and Badnik Bases" arc, started getting fan art after Evan Stanley uploaded her model on Twitter before the arc's first issue was released.
Two new villains, Surge and Kit, started getting fan art as soon as they were revealed, even before they were named.

The Little Mermaid (2023): Fanart featuring Halle Bailey as Ariel began appearing almost as soon as her casting was announced, well before the film's release date was even confirmed. This has only increased since the first official look dropped. A popular subject is drawing Halle's Ariel in the dresses Ariel wore in the original film.

Dragon Age: During Gamescon 2020, BioWare released a behind-the-scene teaser to promote their next Dragon Age game. While the video mostly consists of Concept Art, it hasn't stopped the fans from immediately latching onto the few characters introduced in it, most notably the Qunari woman who has received a lot of fan art despite not even having a name yet. (She has thus been affectionately dubbed "Qunari wife" by a good portion of the fanbase.)

My Adventures with Superman
Reactions to this version's Lois Lane, whose design is a Tomboyness Upgrade over the norm, have been positive enough for artists to make fanart over this fact.
Likewise, this version of Clark, who's been perceived as a well-dressed, lovable klutz, has also received his fair share of fanart love. Unsurprisingly, with the aforementioned perception of his Lois, it's common to pair these two together.

My Little Pony:
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer showed up in a toyline months before her official debut in the first Equestria Girls movie and started getting fan art almost immediately. Furthermore, since her first toy was part of a Masquerade Ball-themed toyline (which had nothing to do with the plot of EQG), fans mistook her mask for a lucha libre mask instead, which inspired a short-lived trend of depicting Sunset as a Masked Luchador.
My Little Pony: A New Generation: As a design for a bedspread depicting Sunny, Izzy and Pipp was accidentally released ahead of schedule, fan art of those characters started appearing a good few months before any official confirmation of the movie, its title or its contents did. Afterwards, once the promotional campaign proper got underway, fan art of the new characters started popping up within a few hours of each new trailer or screenshot being released.

RWBY: Within the first few weeks after the release of the "Red" Trailer in 2012, fans of Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum were quick to draw fan art despite the lack of concrete information about the show's setting and story. The Animesque-style and initial character designs of the main character Ruby Rose as well as the silhouettes of her yet-to-be-revealed teammates were prime speculation fuel for how the rest of Team RWBY would look like while fans awaited the rest of the trailers to be revealed in the coming months.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020): Sonic's first look was... not well-received (to say the least) when the film's first trailer dropped in 2019 and most fan art usually skewed to the negative/caricature. But once Paramount took the criticism to heart, delayed the film and came back with a much more improved design, the fan art followed suit, warmly welcoming it and including the movie version with Sonic's other incarnations.

Likewise for the player characters and Gym Leaders if and when their designs are ever showcased, especially if they're cute girls or women. One example was that of Nessa during Nintendo's E3 2019 Showcase, particularly since she'd be the second female Water Gym Leader and the first to be dark-skinned. One person put it like this:

Dragon Ball FighterZ: Once Android 21's initial design came up, internet artists went wild and fan art of her popped up left and right, though considering the series rarely had female fighters take the spotlight, it was understandable. Eventually it was revealed that was just her de-powered form and 21's real fighting form skewed closer to that of a female Majin Buu. Ironically, Arc System Works decided to make 21's regular form playable as well years after the game released, though 21's true form also became a fan art magnet upon its reveal.

Mighty No. 9: At the time, many people were on board with a Mega Man-like game overseen by Keiji Inafune (as the actual series was on a seemingly indefinite hiatus at the time) and did some art of Beck, both liking his design and trying to help promote the game. Likewise, this happened for Call (the game's Roll analogue; a fan poll even decided which of her multiple concept designs would be used in the final product) and especially Dynatron; when the latter was first shown off, it was thought she was going to be the main villain (whereas she's just one of the bosses and mind-controlled to boot).

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The JOJOLands: As soon as Jodio's design was revealed, he instantly received a huge amount of fanart, before his name or anything about him was even known. Since his initial reveal only had his face, much of this fanart only has him from the neck up. A common theme in this early fanart is giving him a rabbit Animal Motif or depicting him with a pet rabbit, as the first teaser image for Part 9 had a rabbit in it. This is notably the first time this has happened to a JoJo character in the West, since Part 9 is the first part to debut after the series' huge Newbie Boom following the release of the 2012 anime.

When the End of an Era artbook was leaked online, the thing fans immediately latched on to were concepts for both Morganite and Rhodonite's components, who all received multiple pieces of fan art before the day ended, and many comments about how cute Rhodonite's Pearl and Ruby were or how many were surprised that Morganite resembled Aquamarine and not Emerald.
Steven Universe: The Movie: Spinel was already getting some fan art before the film's release despite not being named yet. Once she was revealed in full and more of her backstory known, her popularity exploded.

Princess Peach: Showtime!: The titular princess had fanart of her in a ponytail during the June 2023 teaser. When the official trailer was released three months later, more fanart appeared as soon as it revealed that Princess Peach would be getting new costumes for gameplay. The costume that got the most love was Swordmaster Peach, due to giving her a Bifauxnen appeal.

Sonic Shorts lampshaded this trope in one short where a fan noted a new Sonic character before the game that they appeared in was even out and instantly got to work drawing art of it, albeit porn.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: While the first two games (and X) didn't receive too much fan art upon reveal due to being more niche, 3 received a bunch of fan art upon its reveal in a Nintendo Direct. In particular, Mio, Eunie, and Taion were very susceptible to fan art.

The first trailer of Pibby brought a large attention from many people due to its nature as an action horror Massive Multiplayer Crossover series involving Warner Bros. properties. Not surprisingly, it led to a huge amount of fan works being made before a premiere date was even announced (up to and including several Game Mods for Friday Night Funkin').

Pokémon:
Every time a new Pokémon is announced leading up to a new set of games' release, expect a lot of fan art and speculation surrounding them within hours. This is most common with starter trios, which are typically among the first Pokémon announced for a new Generation; not only will there be lots of fan art of the starters themselves, but fan designs for their evolutions will emerge before their actual evolutions are revealed.
Likewise for the player characters and Gym Leaders if and when their designs are ever showcased, especially if they're cute girls or women. One example was that of Nessa during Nintendo's E3 2019 Showcase, particularly since she'd be the second female Water Gym Leader and the first to be dark-skinned. One person put it like this:

Infinity Train had an active subreddit and fan art since the initial 5-minute pilot, released over a year before the show officially premiered. There were even fan complaints when the art style changed between the pilot and the show — some people preferred "pointy-chin Tulip".

Splatoon:
The original game received a large amount of fanart moments after it was first revealed on E3 2014. It attracted a great deal of attention from both the designs of the characters and for being a unique major Nintendo IP.
Upon their introduction, the idols in charge of stage and Splatfest announcement for Splatoon 3, a trio called Deep Cut, received quite a large amount of fan art.
While Harmony has always been the most popular (non-idol) Splatband character among fan artists, her lack of an in-game model meant that her popularity was still limited to the most hardcore fans. However, she instantly received a large new bevy of fan art when she officially debuted in the games, owing to her Moe design and Hikikomori nature.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer showed up in a toyline months before her official debut in the first Equestria Girls movie and started getting fan art almost immediately. Furthermore, since her first toy was part of a Masquerade Ball-themed toyline (which had nothing to do with the plot of EQG), fans mistook her mask for a lucha libre mask instead, which inspired a short-lived trend of depicting Sunset as a Masked Luchador.

Resident Evil Village: Early promotional material featured Lady Dimitrescu, one of the game's main villains. Fans of the series and people unconnected to the series were instantly enamored by her endowment and amazonian height, leading to plenty of art quickly appearing. It didn't hurt that a lot of Village's advertisement during the lead-up to its release was based around her — making it ironic when players discovered Lady Dimitrescu is the first boss encountered and ends up bowing out of the story relatively quickly.
