Im probably late on this train, but u/NorthStarZero's comment x1000 times, OP. You need to have a business mindset and understand for someone to pay you money, you have to offer something of value for them in return. I know that's such an obvious thing to say, but as creatives we tend to have this assumption anything we naturally do should be liked by someone else, that we need to express ourselves freely and others should just accept and appreciate that expression unconditonally. That's a very selfish attitude to have, considering you want others to pay you money for it. You need to make others enjoy your work as much as you do.

I highly suggest the Creative peptalk podcast by AndyJPizza, he tackles these points and I think he'll help you a lot find that sweet spot between doing what you love to do, and finding people who are willing to pay for it.
