That's just the thing. The great majority of people don't get rich off hobbies. Now and again, someone might, but this is a fluke, a black swan and you would be better off buying lottery tickets then trying to force it.

If work was fun, by and large you would not get paid to do it. Even professional athletes see their job, which is a game to most of us, as work. A buddy of mine was an amazing soccer player and had college scholarships and everything but gave it up because at that point it was a huge amount of effort to stay on top.

If you like niche art (TF or not), you are not going to be rich. Heck, even porn stars don't make that much money and that's probably the broadest (and oldest) category in the world.

Get a job that pays the bills and doesn't consume your life. Then you can work on your hobbies.
