Why not try selling your assets? If you really want to get into the game industry using your skills start selling your assets, start working with people who would use your assets in your games. It’s tough to see your range based off your portfolio as a third of them or more are similar in style. I can tell you have skill and from what you’ve shown off it looks good. I would continue to add more to your portfolio, keep building new things and keep learning the skills needed.
Also don’t be afraid to get a regular job while working on this. It’s tough to feel creative and inspire when you’re struggling financially. Think of a job as a way to fund your creative endeavors. As far as those willing to work for low pay, those folks will never become the true source that game developers will be looking for. Those types will tend to cut corners and produce shoddy work. I would instead focus on creating something amazing. There’s always a demand for high quality work.
