Market Board- location that dont necessary provide jobs, but are storefront where you can put your art and assets for sale.
Quest Difficulties: Various
Roll20 Asset Store quite a popular roleplay place it seems. not to mention it's friendly and intuative Roll20 board setup- make a game(paper&pen), and play with your friends on there with friendly interfaces.
Society6 If you got the right to sell your work and otherwise the images are just sitting there and collecting dust, why not give Society 6 a try? it is a storefront for selling Prints, Gifts, Smartphone Cases, Tote Bags, and more.
CreativeMarket This one is pretty interesting, it is a storefront that focuses on some of the things the above sites sells, additionally, they sell fonts, graphic fonts and design related stuff.

Freelance work search Tips::
-Reach out to directors that share a similar art direction that you enjoy, find their company website, and contact them. The worse could happen is they Blacklist you, and never ever sell a game to you ever. Again.
-Find the ones you have a feel for, not just randomly applying to all of them- Waste of time, money and resource.
-Pricing and hourly rate are ALWAYS ALWAYS negotiable. If Clients like your work, they are already hook on you, find a sweet spot between you and the client, and do the best darn job you can at it.
-8 times out of 10- you will not receive any responds/reply from the places you apply for. You can either
A. get in touch with the client some more, remind them of your application, and if you have new work, show them.
B. Drop it. Chin up. Man up and search another one.
-Develop your habit- Habits shape who are you, and who you are to be. If one habit dont work, change!
-Develop your personality- much like the above, if one personality dont work out, you can either
A. Create a new personality and move the previous one to the next storage space- so you can always bring it back. If people with Multiple personality could do it, why cant you?
B. Throw your current one of the window, and start a blank, let amnesia kick in.
-Hang in there! Freelance can be very hard, BUT without trying, it is even harder. Keep at it and things will get easier.
The above are a collection of my own thoughts and view, as well as positive collections of views from friends and families that I encourage sharing. Thus i do not place claim that the above thought process.
