Even by /ic/ standards, this thread turned into a trainwreck pretty darn quick. Still, an actual answer may help.

Finding work online as an illustrator isn't as difficult as people would make it seem, but it does take a very different set of skills that you'll need to develop. I think the biggest part of that misconception is that people are very afraid to send their work out there out of fear of not being good enough, and that honing these skills involves a social risk that can be uncomfortable for a lot of artists.

As far as finding work, it's all about sending your work to the right clients, and regularly. Keeping clients involves at least two of the following three things; being skilled, being a pleasure to deal with, and being consistent.

Hope this helps.
